A study on entrepreneurial education regarding college students' creative tendency, entrepreneurship self-efficacy and entrepreneurial motivation

Abstract

The goal of this study is to explore the differences in creative tendency, CT, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, ESE, and entrepreneurial motivation, EM after college students receive entrepreneurial education. This study explores whether or not college students' CT, ESE, and EM were enhanced after taking entrepreneurial education courses, with the 'creative tendency scale', 'entrepreneurial self-efficacy scale', and 'entrepreneurial motivation scale' as research instrument. According to the research results, the following conclusions are drawn: 1. The students' pre-entrepreneurship training intentions decreased after receiving entrepreneurial education; 2. The students' entrepreneur competition intentions decreased after receiving entrepreneurial education; 3. The students' risk-taking increased after receiving entrepreneurial education; 4. Entrepreneurial education significantly affects students' ESE, but it has no significant impact on CT and EM. © 2017 IEEE.
