This research investigated the influence of entrepreneurial education (EE) on entrepreneurial behavior (EB) through psychological capital (PC). A cross-section survey data of 1,405 college students in China were used to test the proposed hypothesis based on human capital theory and PC literature. The research found that EE had direct effects on EB and on all four sub-constructs (hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and optimism) of PC, and that only self-efficacy positively correlated with EB and mediated the relationship between EE and EB while the other three components of PC did not. These findings contribute to the understanding of both educational and psychological effects on EB. The study also has practical implications for policymakers, managers, and educators in entrepreneurial education.
本研究通过心理资本(PC)考察了创业教育(EE)对创业行为(EB)的影响。基于人力资本理论和心理资本文献,利用对1405名中国大学生的横断面调查数据对所提出的假设进行了检验。研究发现,创业教育对创业行为以及心理资本的所有四个子维度(希望、自我效能感、心理韧性和乐观)均有直接影响,且只有自我效能感与创业行为呈正相关,并在创业教育和创业行为之间起中介作用,而心理资本的其他三个组成部分则不然。这些发现有助于理解教育和心理因素对创业行为的影响。该研究对创业教育中的政策制定者、管理者和教育工作者也具有实际意义。
