Entrepreneurship may be taught, and entrepreneurship education is flourishing at colleges and universities. However, previous documents show that entrepreneurship education is inconsistent with the research conclusions of entrepreneurial intention, which is a lack of discussion on the mediating effect of government subsidies from external resources. Based on the cognitive behavior theory, a mediating effect of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial strategy and entrepreneurial intention is built. By collecting the data of 334 questionnaires of college students in Pearl River Delta in China, a structural equation is used for empirical analysis. The result indicates that entrepreneurship education does not have a significant influence on entrepreneurial intention; exploration innovation and exploitation innovation have a positive influence on entrepreneurial intention, and exploration innovation and exploitation innovation have a mediating effect on entrepreneurship education and entrepreneurial intention; government subsidies have a positive regulating effect on exploration innovation, exploitation innovation, and entrepreneurial intention. In this article, the application of the cognitive behavior theory in the field of entrepreneurship research is expanded to provide the theoretical basis for building the entrepreneurship education ecosystem, which is conductive to innovation and entrepreneurship to promote regional economic development.
创业是可以传授的，创业教育在高校中蓬勃发展。然而，以往文献表明创业教育与创业意向的研究结论不一致，即缺乏对外部资源中政府补贴的中介作用的探讨。基于认知行为理论，构建了创业教育对创业策略和创业意向的中介效应。通过收集中国珠江三角洲地区334名大学生的问卷数据，运用结构方程进行实证分析。结果表明，创业教育对创业意向没有显著影响；探索性创新和开发性创新对创业意向有正向影响，且探索性创新和开发性创新在创业教育与创业意向之间起中介作用；政府补贴对探索性创新、开发性创新和创业意向有正向调节作用。本文拓展了认知行为理论在创业研究领域的应用，为构建创业教育生态系统提供理论依据，有助于创新创业促进区域经济发展。
