Resumo(s)
Higher education institutions (HEI) and their surroundings play a Fundamental role for contemporary societies in the field of education and knowledge generation. During the last decade, the university and
its surroundings have become a special ecosystem. Specifically, Favourable conditions are created for cooperation between various entities, namely, HEI, business incubators, technology transfer centers and funding institutions, which contribute to developing the academic entrepreneurship ecosystem. The ecosystem conception represents a new competitive force that includes universities that reveal their influence over entrepreneurial ecosystems. This study investigates the impact of entrepreneurial attitudes, subjective norms, and perceived behavioural controls on entrepreneurial intention using the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) as the theoretical framework. The consideration of more factors in the TPB were explored with the main aim of building a more comprehensive and complete explanation of EIs. This involvement builds a more comprehensive explanation of entrepreneurial intentions (EI).
The research analyses data from 545 students through statistics and Structural Equation Modeling. This outcome was facilitated through entrepreneurial education and support from higher education
institutions (HEIs), which, notably, did not significantly influence students' entrepreneurial intentions (EI).
It has been observed that personality traits exert a positive influence on EI. This finding highlights the potential for creating or enhancing a structured academic ecosystem that more effectively promotes
entrepreneurship.
