Address: 1/3 Volkhovsky per., 199004 St. Petersburg, Russian Federation.Abstract. The study aims to assess how different types of entrepreneurial capital provided by universities affect student involvement in entrepreneurship. The role of university is analyzed from the embeddedness perspective, where purposeful behavior is largely affected by network relationship and the trust that exists in such relationship. We used data of the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students' Survey (GUESSS) as empirical basis for research. A hierarchical regression data analysis revealed that university initiatives to develop human and social capital influenced positively the extent to which students were engaged in entrepreneurship, while financial capital provided by universities had negative effects. We also investigated the moderating effects of previous business experience and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. It was found that previous experience was able to weaken the relationship between all the three types of resources provided by university with the scope of student start-up activities, including the negative effect of access to financial capital. Meanwhile, entrepreneurial self-efficacy intensifies this negative effect and diminishes the positive effects of university support for human and social capital development.

“…Such knowledge is likely to direct individuals' attention to and interpretation of environmental stimuli, thus shaping their information environments. Furthermore, as entrepreneurs must be multi-skilled (Lazear 2004;Stuetzer et al 2013), they tend to invest in acquiring the broad knowledge base required to run a business. As such, employee or entrepreneurial experience provides researchers with specific human and social capital (Mosey and Wright 2007;Westhead et al 2009), and leads researchers to occupy broader information environments than the traditional academic one.…”

Are researchers deliberately bypassing the technology transfer office? An analysis of TTO awareness

This is the accepted version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Permanent repository link ARE RESEARCHERS DELIBERATELY BYPASSING THE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER OFFICE? AN ANALYSIS OF TTO AWARENESS ABSTRACTMost universities committed to the commercialization of academic research have established technology transfer offices (TTOs). Nonetheless, many researchers bypass these TTOs and take their inventions directly to the marketplace. While TTO bypassing has typically been portrayed as deliberate and undesirable behavior, we argue that it could be unintentional as many researchers may simply be unaware of the TTO's existence. Taking an information-processing perspective and using data on 3,250 researchers in 24 European universities, we examine researcher attributes associated with TTO awareness. Our evidence confirms that only a minority of researchers are aware of the existence of a TTO at their university. TTO awareness is greater among researchers who possess experience as entrepreneurs, closed many research and consulting contracts with industry partners, conduct research in medicine, engineering or life sciences, or occupy post-doctoral positions. Policy implications of these findings are discussed.

“…Following earlier research (e.g., Fritsch & Rusakova, 2010;Obschonka, Silbereisen, & Schmitt-Rodermund, 2010;2011;2012;Stuetzer, Obschonka, & Schmitt-Rodermund, in press), we computed a person's entrepreneurship-prone personality profile by calculating the match between the individual's Big Five profile and the reference profile defining the outer limits of the single Big Five traits within an entrepreneurship-prone personality structure (comparable to Cronbach and Gleser's D 2 ). Specifically, after recoding the Big Five scores from a 1 -5 scale to a 0 -4 scale, the entrepreneurial reference type was defined as the highest possible score (4) on extraversion, conscientiousness, and openness, and the lowest possible score (0) on agreeableness and neuroticism.…”
