Influence Mechanism Study Of Entrepreneurship Education On Entrepreneurial Behavior

At present,our country is at the three-period overlapped periods,including the “shifting period” of economic increase speed,the “painful period”of economic structural adjustment and the “digestion period” of early incentive policies.In face of the new normality of economic development and the increasingly severe employment situation,“encouraging the public to start their own business and make innovation” has become the new engine for China's sustained economic growth,and the entrepreneurship of college students have been activated unprecedentedly.The function of entrepreneurship activities on sustained economic development has been attached great importance by governments around the world.And entrepreneurship education has played an irreplaceable role in the promotion of entrepreneurship activities.Entrepreneurship education is even a historical mission of higher education and an important factor for colleges and universities to build up the “Double First-rate” vision in a new era and it is also to promote the connotative development of colleges and universities in essence.Taking planned behavior theory,three-element interaction theory and self-efficacy theory as its theoretical basis,combining the previous research achievements in the field of entrepreneurship education,in accordance with those issues and contents in the research,this paper adopts methods including latent variable path,mediation effect and moderating effect to empirically tests the possible influence mechanism of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial behavior based on the overall dimension and subdivided dimensions,and relying on 30,887 effective questionnaires from 102 colleges and universities in 26 provinces,municipalities and autonomous regions,and discusses relevant conclusions.The main conclusions of this paper are as follows:First of all,the main conclusions in the overall dimension are as follows.First,entrepreneurship education has a directly positive impact on entrepreneurial behavior.Second,entrepreneurship education has an indirectly positive impact on entrepreneurial behavior through the first mediation effect of entrepreneurial competence.Third,entrepreneurship education has an indirectly positive impact on entrepreneurial behavior through the first mediation effect of entrepreneurial passion.Fourth,entrepreneurship education has an indirectly positive impact on entrepreneurial behavior through the first mediation effect of entrepreneurial intention.Fifth,entrepreneurship education has an indirectly positive impact on entrepreneurial behavior through the chained dual mediation effect formed by entrepreneurial motivation and entrepreneurial intention.Sixth,entrepreneurship education has an indirectly positive impact on entrepreneurial behavior through the chained dual mediation effect formed by entrepreneurial consciousness and entrepreneurial intention.Seventh,entrepreneurship education has an indirectly positive impact on entrepreneurial behavior through the chained dual mediation effect formed by entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention.Eighth,entrepreneurship education has an indirectly positive impact on entrepreneurial behavior through the chained dual mediation effect formed by cognition of entrepreneurial elements and entrepreneurial intention.Ninth,entrepreneurship policy satisfaction has a significantly positive moderating effect in the influence mechanism of entrepreneurial intention on entrepreneurial behavior.And then,the main conclusions in the subdivided dimension are as follows.First,the subdivided dimension of entrepreneurship education has a directly positive impact on entrepreneurial behavior.Second,the subdivided dimension of entrepreneurship education has an indirectly positive impact on entrepreneurial behavior through the first mediation effect from the subdivided dimension of entrepreneurial competence.Third,the subdivided dimension of entrepreneurship education has an indirectly positive impact on entrepreneurial behavior through the first mediation effect from the subdivided dimension of entrepreneurial passion.Fourth,the subdivided dimension of entrepreneurship education has an indirectly positive impact on entrepreneurial behavior through the first mediation effect of entrepreneurial intention.Fifth,the subdivided dimension of entrepreneurship education has an indirectly positive impact on entrepreneurial behavior through the chained dual mediation effect formed by the subdivided dimension of entrepreneurial consciousness and entrepreneurial intention.Sixth,the subdivided dimension of entrepreneurship education has an indirectly positive impact on entrepreneurial behavior through the chained dual mediation effect formed by the subdivided dimension of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention.The innovation of this research is reflected in the following five aspects:Firstly,it builds the "10E" theoretical model for the influence mechanism of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial behavior.Based on the theory of planned behavior,ternary interactive theory and self-efficacy theory and other related theories,learning from the related research achievements in entrepreneuship education and the relationship between entrepreneurial behavior and its influencing factors and combining the facts observed,this research creatively integrates the 10 constructs including entrepreneurship education,entrepreneurial competence,entrepreneurial passion,entrepreneurial intention,entrepreneurial motivation,entrepreneurial consciousness,entrepreneurial self-efficacy,cognition of entrepreneurial elements,entrepreneurship policy satisfaction and entrepreneurial behavior into one research framework,and builds the "10E" theoretical model for the influence mechanism of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial behavior.It deeply explores the path effect of the influence mechanism of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial behavior and its effect level from both direct and multiple indirect influence mechanisms,through model fitting parameters,normalized path coefficient significance principle,latent variable path analysis,mediation effect and moderating effect checking procedure,which provides new research normal form and theoretical tool for revealing various possible influence mechanism of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial behavior.Secondly,it constructs a test program of theory-driven system for influence mechanism of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial behavior.In order to test influence mechanisms of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial behavior,based on the results of the model fitting parameters and the significance principle of the standardized path coefficients and the latent variable path analysis and the mediation effect test procedure,this paper considers it should follow below driven-theory system when conducting such test objective:When testing the path of indirect influence mechanisms of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial behavior,the following conditions should be met: at first,entrepreneurship education has significantly positive impact on the first mediation and the chained dual mediation in all dimensional levels of each other,and then the first mediation or the chained dual mediation at all dimensional levels has significantly positive impact on entrepreneurial behavior,thus realizing a progressive theory-driven effect as “entrepreneurship education?the first mediation entrepreneurial behavior” or “entrepreneurship education?the chained dual mediation entrepreneurial behavior”.This paper builds a driven system for studying the influence mechanism of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial behavior,and provide new ideas to reveal the possible influence mechanisms of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial behavior.Thirdly,it develops paths for multiple influence mechanisms of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial behavior.Combining the analysis of direct and indirect influence mechanism,by means of such test procedures as latent variable path,mediation effect and moderating effect,and based on the overall dimension and subdivided dimensions,this paper vertically conducts the theory-driven research and deeply explores the direct and multiple indirect influence mechanisms of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial behavior,including direct influence mechanism,the first mediation effect,the chained dual mediation effect and moderating effect,which provides a new theoretical prospective for studying the influence mechanism of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial behavior.Fourthly,it puts forward the "eight in one" ecological theory system for entrepreneurship education.This paper constructs and analyzes the "eight in one" entrepreneurship education ecological system of basic education,higher education,continuing education,government,society,enterprise,family and individual based on the inter-subjective theory and stakeholder theory,and points out the direction for the further development of entrepreneurship education.Fifthly,it expands the scope of entrepreneurship education research.In the past,scholars made research on entrepreneurship education mainly from a single variable,and often put entrepreneurship education as an independent variable to study a certain result variable of entrepreneurship education,Such studies,appear to make the antecedent variable and outcome variable of the independent variable with a too single perspective,while this study examines the impact and influence mechanism of influencing variables on entrepreneurial behavior.This study examines the influence mechanism of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial behavior through a variety of influencing variables,where nine groups of factors may affect the entrepreneurial behavior,including entrepreneurship education,entrepreneurial motivation,entrepreneurial competence,entrepreneurial passion,entrepreneurial intention,entrepreneurial consciousness,entrepreneurial self-efficacy,cognition of entrepreneurial elements and entrepreneurship policy satisfaction,which widely enriches the scope in studying the antecedent variable and outcome variable of entrepreneurship education,and provides the research ideas,empirical support and theoretical reference for the follow-up study.Sixthly,it examines the moderating effect of entrepreneurship policy satisfaction to entrepreneurial intention on entrepreneurial behavior.This research creatively introduces the entrepreneurial policy satisfaction as a moderating variable into the theoretical model,examines the the moderating effect of entrepreneurship policy satisfaction to entrepreneurial intention on entrepreneurial behavior under the context of entrepreneurship education,thus opens a new perspective for studying influence mechanism of entrepreneurial intention on entrepreneurial behavior.The structure of this paper is as follows: The first chapter is the introduction,which elaborates the research background,the research content and objectives,the research significance,the research method thought,the technical route and the full text.The second chapter is the literature review.It is to sort out,review and comment the relevant theoretical basis
