In a challenging work environment, entrepreneurship orientation (hereafter, EO) can be an important asset for university students. In this study, we investigated the EO and concerns about the future of B.A. students, focusing on the role of mindfulness levels. A total of 204 students, including those coming from family businesses (hereafter, FB), were asked about their intention of creating their own business and future concerns with an ad hoc questionnaire, and about their mindfulness levels with the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale. The results showed no differences in concerns about the future between those students coming from a family business and those who did not. However, in that group of students who were uncertain about starting a business career, a negative association between mindfulness and future concerns was found. This paper sheds light on the relationship between mindfulness and concerns about the future in Business Administration (hereafter, B.A.) students, concluding that, in the face of uncertainty, higher levels of mindfulness help to reduce concerns about the future. Finally, we indicate the relevance of this study for entrepreneurs, family business members, policymakers and B.A. Faculties and Business schools.
在充满挑战的工作环境中，创业倾向（以下简称 EO）对于大学生来说可能是一项重要的资产。在这项研究中，我们调查了 B.A. 学生的创业倾向和对未来的担忧，重点关注正念水平的作用。我们总共调查了 204 名学生，包括来自家族企业的学生（以下简称 FB），他们通过专门的问卷回答了自己创业的意向和对未来的担忧，以及他们的正念水平，使用的是正念注意意识量表。结果显示，来自家族企业的学生和其他学生对未来的担忧没有差异。然而，在那些对创业生涯不确定的学生中，正念与对未来的担忧之间存在负相关关系。本文探讨了正念与 B.A. 学生对未来的担忧之间的关系，得出的结论是，面对不确定性，更高的正念水平有助于减少对未来的担忧。最后，我们指出了这项研究对于企业家、家族企业成员、政策制定者以及 B.A. 教师和商学院的意义。
