Abstract As enterprise education plays a larger role in schools and young individuals increasingly become the target of entrepreneurial and enterprise policy initiatives, there is a growing need to understand how entrepreneurial intentions can be fostered. This study builds on analyses of interviews with young potential entrepreneurs and their young counterparts, delving more deeply into the identity construction that motivates some individuals, but not others, to develop entrepreneurial identities and enterprise intentions. The findings outline two contrasting routes to identity construction, shedding light on how enterprise intentions are motivationally embedded and providing details on the micro-foundations of identity formation that shape these identities and intentions toward enterprise activity.

构建创业身份：青年创业意向如何形成

摘要 随着企业教育在学校中发挥着越来越大的作用，年轻人越来越成为创业和企业政策举措的目标，因此越来越需要了解如何培养创业意愿。本研究基于对年轻潜在企业家及其年轻同行的访谈分析，更深入地研究了激励一些个人而非其他人发展企业家身份和企业意图的身份建构。研究结果概述了两种截然不同的身份构建途径，阐明了企业意图是如何在动机上嵌入的，并提供了塑造这些身份和企业活动意图的身份形成的微观基础的详细信息。
