“…Although data from the GEM of Peña et al (2016) indicate that the Andalusians perceived that they possess more skills and knowledge about entrepreneurship, this may be due to the characteristics of the sample, since a greater percentage of Sport Sciences students from Valencia had participated in specific courses on entrepreneurship. These results are in line with the study of González et al (2017) that demonstrated the positive influence on entrepreneurial intentions in the Sport Science students who participated in this type of courses. Regarding the subjective norms variable, in spite of presenting higher reference models students from the Andalusia (Sevilla) according to GEM of Peña et al (2016) data, were the Valencian students who presented higher averages in this variable.…”

“…However, in spite of the increase of studies related to the intentions of university students, studies with students of nonbusiness disciplines have been scarce (Jones & Jones, 2014), and even more Sport Sciences'(SS) studies in our country (González-Serrano, Crespo, Pérez-Campos, & Calabuig, 2017). This is particularly worrying because, according to Ratten and Ferreira (2017), the trends in the sports industry reflect a growing need to be enterprising in products, services, technologies and market development.…”

Abstract:Entrepreneurship is a key factor in fostering the development of the countries and regions economies. The regional culture is an aspect that can affect the entrepreneurial intentions of university students and it has not been investigated in students of the sport sector. Therefore, the aims of this study are to know if there are differences between the entrepreneurial intentions and their different entrepreneurial variables among students of Sport Sciences (SS) of two Spanish universities of different regions (Valencia and Sevilla), and to know if the predictive variables of the entrepreneurial intentions of these students are different. Thus, a survey has been administered to 172 Sport Sciences (SS) students from the last course of Valencia and Sevilla. The results show that there are statistically significant (p <.05) differences between the Sport Science students from Valencia and Sevilla in the variables of perceived control behaviour, subjective norm and attitude toward behaviour. As for the predictor variables of the entrepreneurial intensions also differences were found, being in the case of the Valencia´ students the attitude towards the behaviour the only predictive variable. In the case of the Sevilla´ students all the cognitive variables related to the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), as well as proactivity were predictive variables of the entrepreneurial intentions. These results are discussed, highlighting the influence of the regional culture on the entrepreneurial intentions of these students. Finally, it concludes that the culture plays an important role in the entrepreneurial intentions of Sport Sciences students and a series of practical implications for the sports politicians and governors of the different universities are presented.

“…This same author explained that the more positive these variables are, the greater entrepreneurial intentions a person will have. Therefore, in this study, the theory of planned behaviour was the framework used to analyse the entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial intentions of sports science students; additionally, the variable of entrepreneurial skills or abilities that was considered in some previous studies (González-Serrano et al, 2017;Liñán, 2008) was also taken into account in this study. The entrepreneurial skills variable refers to the degree of confidence that a person presents when determining if she or he is in possession of a high-enough level of certain skills related to entrepreneurship (Liñán, 2008).…”

Entrepreneurship is a key factor in sports due to the globalization and increase in competitiveness in the actual labour market. Therefore, it is important to understand entrepreneurial behaviour and distinguish between the two possible types, intrapreneurship and entrepreneurship, because both should be promoted. However, while studies on the entrepreneurial intentions of university students are a consolidated area of study, little is still known about intrapreneurial intentions. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to discover the determinant variables of entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial intentions of sports science students. For that reason, a sample of 183 senior-level sports science students, 23.60% female and 76.40% male with ages ranging between 20 and 41 years old (M = 22.56; SD = 2.70) was analysed. The results showed that the determinant variables of these two types of entrepreneurial behaviour are totally different. In the case of entrepreneurial intentions, the attitude towards behaviour and the perceived behaviour control were the significant determinants, while in the case of intrapreneurial intentions, the entrepreneurial abilities, subjective norm and age were the main determinants. To summarise, the educational university policies used to enhance the entrepreneurial and intrapreneurial intentions of sports science students should be different. Finally, to address this issue, some practical implications were presented.

“…They also found a positive relationship between entrepreneurship characteristics and trends. González Serrano et al (2017), in their study with university students who took sports training, also found that students' entrepreneurship tendencies were at a medium level. The finding in this study was found partially compatible with the level of being medium and above.…”

“…It is known that sports entrepreneurship has many roles in economic development and increasing welfare level of countries. When these roles are examined, it is seen that they are about business development, providing employment and prosperity as well as physical and mental health of society (As citied Gonzalez Serrano et al, 2017). Entrepreneurship can be realized in whatever field or sector it is only when individuals have some entrepreneurial characteristics.…”

In this study, it was aimed to examine the entrepreneurial characteristics of the coaches in terms of demographic variables. The study was designed in a descriptive model and quantitatively.The sample consisted of a total of 130 coaches of 38 females, 92 males. “Entrepreneurship Scale” was used as data collection tool which is developed by Deveci and Çepni (2015). Data were not normal distribution. Therefore, non-parametric Mann-Whitney U test and Kruskal-Wallis H tests were used. Descriptive statistics were also used. In the study, it was determined that coaches had middle and upper level entrepreneurship features and there were no differences in gender and level of coaching according to demographic variables. There was also a significant difference in risk taking and self-confidence subscales according to coaching years. As a result, according to demographic variables, risk taking and self-confidence are affected by the coaching year.
