The Determinants of Entrepreneurial Intention of Young Researchers: Combining the Theory of Planned Behavior with the Triple Helix Model

“…Finally, University support does not have any direct effect on AEI. This result contrasts somewhat with previous studies on university support related to student entrepreneurship (Saeed et al ; Souitaris, Zerbinati, and Al‐Laham ; Turker and Selçuk ). Our results may be determined by a university's heterogeneous environment.…”

“…According to their results, if a university provides adequate knowledge and inspiration for entrepreneurship, the possibility of choosing an entrepreneurial career is more likely among young people.
