Scholars are the main force behind academic entrepreneurship. The method of how to stimulate scholars' academic entrepreneurial intention and how to further promote social and economic development are important questions for the academic community. Research on the "net effect" of the factors affecting academic entrepreneurial intention has achieved some theoretical results. However, the results that affect academic entrepreneurial intention are complex and not influenced by a single factor, but rather by the interaction between various factors. Therefore, this study used a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis research method to explore how various factors can affect scholars' academic entrepreneurial intention from two dimensions: the Big Five personality traits and academic entrepreneurial motivation. Our findings showed two configurations that affect high academic entrepreneurial intention of university scholars: the openness to experience-ribbon-dominant path, and the ribbon-dominant path. Additionally, two configurations were revealed for the formation of not-high academic entrepreneurial intention: extraversion-conscientiousness-inhibition and extraversion-agreeableness-gold-hindrance paths. Moreover, this study revealed that a causal asymmetry exists between the high and the not-high academic entrepreneurial intention configurations. This study broadens the application of the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method in the research of academic entrepreneurial intention and provides theoretical and practical insights for researchers and practitioners on how to effectively stimulate scholars' academic entrepreneurial intention.
学者是学术创业背后的主要力量。如何激发学者的学术创业意愿以及如何进一步促进社会经济发展的方法，是学术界面临的重要问题。关于影响学术创业意愿的因素的“净效应”研究已取得了一些理论成果。然而，影响学术创业意愿的结果是复杂的，并非由单一因素决定，而是受多种因素之间相互作用的影响。因此，本研究采用模糊集定性比较分析研究方法，从大五人格特质和学术创业动机两个维度探讨了各种因素如何影响学者的学术创业意愿。我们的研究结果表明，有两种组合会影响高校学者的高学术创业意愿：开放性-纽带-主导路径和纽带-主导路径。此外，还揭示了两种导致非高学术创业意愿形成的组合：外向性-尽责性-抑制和外向性-宜人性-黄金-阻碍路径。而且，本研究表明，高学术创业意愿组合与非高学术创业意愿组合之间存在因果不对称性。本研究拓宽了模糊集定性比较分析方法在学术创业意愿研究中的应用，并为研究人员和从业者提供了关于如何有效激发学者学术创业意愿的理论和实践见解。
