Analysis of Variables related to Entrepreneurial Intention of University Students in Korea: Derivation of Research Variables to Promote Entrepreneurial Intention of Nursing Students

Abstract

This study was done to explore research trends on start-up intention of college students in Korea. Methods: Articles published from 2014 to 2018 were searched. Search term was "start-up intention." At the first search, 2,137 articles were extracted from academic databases (DB). One hundred forty six articles were used in the systematic review and 88 articles were used in the meta analysis. Results: There were 384 variables explored in relation to start-up intention. In the correlation and regression analysis, self efficacy and risk taking showed statistical significance in most research. In the meta analysis, career orientation, start-up preparation behavior, and start-up attitude showed statistical significant effect size. Conclusion: We propose that structural equation model analysis be conducted to find causal relation among variables affecting start-up intention of college students. This will contribute to development of theoretical models for the activation of nursing entrepreneurship.
