“…• Personal Attitude (PA) can be viewed as the attractiveness towards entrepreneurship as a career or the degree to which an individual holds a positive or negative personal evaluation of entrepreneurship (Ajzen, 1991;Kautonen et al, 2013;Zhang et al 2014). This factor is strictly connected to the expected outcomes of the behaviour (Ajzen, 1991).…”

A limit of the questionnaires measuring Entrepreneurial Intention (EI) is the lack of a multidimensional vision of its antecedents. The definition of a multidimensional model of the main drivers affecting the intentions of aspiring entrepreneurs in building a start-up seems a fundamental milestone to overcome this pitfall. This paper aims to explore the internal consistency reliability of a new multidimensional questionnaire measuring the antecedents of EI and Entrepreneurial Education Intention (EEI). The tool consists in a self-administered online questionnaire that has been built in accordance with the Theory of Planned Behavior in entrepreneurship research. It includes 54 items adapted by others studies or created by the authors and it has been administered to college students and graduates (N = 70). Cronbach's Alpha and Confirmatory Factor Analyses (CFA) were performed using SPSS v23. The value of Cronbach's Alpha and the CFA confirmed the internal stability of the questionnaire, even if the post hoc diagnostic information forced the authors to remove some items with a low value of their standardized regression weights and to estimate some within-factor correlated errors to improve model fit. Although the number of subjects involved in the study was small, this pilot study shows a good internal consistency reliability of the questionnaire.

“…Potential student entrepreneurs spend most of their time at their place of study, so the academic environment significantly influences their disposition towards particular activities. Specifically, students' entrepreneurial intentions and their subsequent transformation into action may be affected by the university's initiatives aimed at promoting student entrepreneurship [Bae et al, 2014;Shirokova et al, 2015;Zhang et al, 2014]. Such initiatives include certain courses, e.g., entrepreneurship courses and seminars designed to give students the basic knowledge and skills required for running a business [Shirokova et al, 2014;Klofsten, 2000].…”

“…Pod preduzetničkim namerama se podrazumevaju namere u pokretanju poslovnog poduhvata u budućnosti. Različiti autori su ispitivali preduzetničke namere i njihovu vezu sa brojnim drugim faktorima: ◆ De Clercq et al (2013) su ispitivali efekat orijentacije ka učenju i strast prema radu na preduzetničke namere studenata; ◆ Dinis et al (2013) i Zampetakis et al (2011) su istraživali uticaj psiholoških karakteristika (kreativnost i emocionalna inteligencija) studenata; ◆ Farashah i Souitaris (2013) su ispitivali uticaj obrazovanja i treninga iz oblasti preduzetništva; ◆ Lee et al (2011) su pokazali uticaj radnog okruženja i zadovoljstva poslom na preduzetničke namere; ◆ Nabi et al (2010) i Zhang et al (2013) su istraživali uticaj visokog obrazovanja na preduzetničke namere. U ovom radu virtuelno preduzetništvo se predstavlja kao koncept akademskog predmeta čija je uloga da doprinese boljoj edukaciji studenata u Srbiji.…”

“…Preduzetnike čine ljudi koji su okrenuti više ka biznisu a manje ka obrazovanju. Suprotno tome, Zhang et al (2013) smatraju da je veza između obrazovanja i preduzetništva pozitivna. ◆ Preduzetničko obrazovanje: Ovaj tip obrazovanja u detinjstvu i adolescenciji je potvrđen kao važan za kasnije preduzetničke namere (Dinis et al, 2013).…”

Apstrakt:Ovaj rad prikazuje značaj preduzetničkog obrazovanja na fakultetima u Srbiji na osnovu rezultata istraživanja o preduzetničkoj spremnosti studenata. Istraživanje je sprovedeno putem upitnika o stavovima studenata na osnovu pet dimenzija preduzetničke spremnosti: preduzetničke namere; sposobnost za preduzetništvo; atraktivnosti preduzetničkog zanimanja; orijentacija ka učenju; i strast prema radu. Dimenzije preduzetničke spremnosti u istraživanju su povezane sa različitim karakteristikama studenata a) fakultetsko obrazovanje (inženjersko, menadžersko); b) preduzetničko obrazovanje kroz nastavu na fakultetu i seminare o preduzetništvu; c) preduzetničko iskustvo u porodici i okruženju; d) različite socio-demografske osobine studenata. Na osnovu toga, autori rada su definisali devet istraži-vačkih pitanja koja su analizirana uz pomoć koeficijenta korelacije i T-testa. Uzorak istraživanja obuhvatio je 113 studenata sa različitih fakulteta u Srbiji. Najinteresantnije istraživačko pitanje odnosilo se na poređenje dve grupe studenta (inženjeri, menadžeri) i njihove preduzetničke spremnosti. Razlika između prethodno navedene dve grupe studenta je statistički dokazana na osnovu analize navedenog uzorka i predstavljena je u radu zajedno sa ostalim odgovorima na pitanja obuhvaćena ovim istraživanjem Dobijeni rezultati istraživanja ukazuju na neophodnost uvođenja virtuelnog preduzetništva kao akademskog predmeta na svim fakultetima i univerzitetima, u svrhu obrazovanja budućih inženjera i menadžera. Abstract:This paper highlights the importance of entrepreneurial education at the faculties in Serbia based on the research results on entrepreneurial readiness of students. Research was conducted by means of a questionnaire examining students' opinion and attitudes regarding the five dimensions of entrepreneurial readiness: entrepreneurial intention; entrepreneurial skills; attractiveness of entrepreneurial profession; learning orientation; passion for work. This research connects the dimensions of entrepreneurial readiness with different characteristics of students: a) university education (managers, engineers); b) entrepreneurial education through lectures at the faculty and seminars on entrepreneurship; c) entrepreneurial experience in the family and close environment; d) different socio-demographic characteristics of students. Based on that, the authors defined nine research questions that are statistically analyzed using the correlation coefficient and T-test. The sample included 113 students from several faculties in Serbia. The most interesting question refers to the comparison of two groups of students (managers and engineers) according to their entrepreneurial readiness. Based on the analyzed sample of students, the difference between these two groups is statistically proven and shown in this paper, together with all other research results. The research results indicate the importance and necessity of introducing virtual entrepreneurship as an academic course at different faculties and universities for the purp...
