Teaching Entrepreneurship And Entrepreneurial Intention In University Students

Abstract

The unemployment rate demands a paradigm shift for entrepreneurship and job creation. The objective of the study is to assess the relationship between the variables entrepreneurial intention (EI) and entrepreneurship education (EE). The quantitative method was applied, a survey of 38 items, 20 from Liñán and Chen's EI model. A scale was designed for EE. The results of the sample of 452 university students indicate that the variables have a weak positive relationship. However, the regression analysis indicates that the variables of the EE are not significant in influencing EI, i.e., both the teacher and the teaching-learning process do not orient their work to create or develop the entrepreneurial intention in the university student. The limitations of the study refer to the possible limitation of the student to understand the items resulting from the electronic application of the survey.
