Research in the context of an individual’s choice of an entrepreneurial career has looked at effect of perceived self-efficacy (PSE), personality characteristics (PC) and subjective norms on entrepreneurial intentions (EIs). In contrast, the purpose of this paper is to compare these constructs across a vocational student (VC) group and an academic group (AC), in a supportive entrepreneurial ecosystem. It also includes PC of the individuals as a variable.,The analysis is based on a quantitative method followed by a qualitative approach to gain more insights in the study domain. It includes administration of a survey questionnaire and a round of unstructured interviews with select students.,Theorizing that there would be significant differences in PSE, PC and EIs between the two groups, the study demonstrates that for all the three variables, individuals opting for a vocational course exhibit significant difference as compared to an academic group. The results are significant when controlled for family business background and gender.,This paper has contributed to the academic literature in the entrepreneurship domain by differentiating the choice of an academic course prior to taking up a career in entrepreneurship and how it impacts entrepreneurial orientations. These interrelationships can further be extended into the domain of social media and networks, to draw interesting insights pertaining to how students get influenced by the social media in their choice of entrepreneurial career.

谁更有创业精神?职业与学术学生的比较研究

在个人选择企业家职业的背景下进行的研究已考察了自我效能感(PSE),人格特征(PC)和主观规范对企业家意图(EI)的影响。相比之下,本文的目的是在支持性创业生态系统中比较职业学生(VC)小组和学术团体(AC)的这些构造。它还包括个体的PC作为变量。该分析基于定量方法,然后是定性方法,以获取研究领域的更多见解。它包括管理调查问卷和对部分学生进行一轮非结构化访谈。从理论上讲,两组之间的PSE,PC和EI会有显着差异,该研究表明,对于所有三个变量,与学术团体相比,选择职业课程的个人表现出显着差异。当控制家族企业的背景和性别时,结果是有意义的。本文通过区分在从事创业之前的学术课程选择及其对创业方向的影响,为创业领域的学术文献做出了贡献。这些相互关系可以进一步扩展到社交媒体和网络领域,以得出有趣的见解,与学生在选择创业职业时如何受到社交媒体的影响有关。本文通过区分在从事创业之前的学术课程选择及其对创业方向的影响,为创业领域的学术文献做出了贡献。这些相互关系可以进一步扩展到社交媒体和网络领域,以得出有趣的见解,与学生在选择创业职业时如何受到社交媒体的影响有关。本文通过区分在从事创业之前的学术课程选择及其对创业方向的影响,为创业领域的学术文献做出了贡献。这些相互关系可以进一步扩展到社交媒体和网络领域,以得出有趣的见解,与学生在选择创业职业时如何受到社交媒体的影响有关。
