Barriers Affecting the Passion and Entrepreneurial Intention of University of the ITSON

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to analyze the internal and external barriers experienced by university students of the Technological Institute of Sonora (ITSON) for the development of entrepreneurship. The study is focused on a sample of 733 students from the areas of engineering, administrative sciences, and social sciences. The field work was carried out during the months of May to September 2018. The controlled statistical technique for data analysis was the structural equation model (SEM) with the support of SMARTPLS software version 3.2.8. The results have revealed that internal creativity barriers are the ones that most negatively impact the entrepreneurial passion of ITSON university students. This research contributes to the development of entrepreneurship literature from the area of psychology and business sciences through planned behavior theory, cognitive theory, and self-determination.

“…64 Next, the AVE value indicates the average variance the construct indicators explain. 65 According to Hair et al, 66 it must be greater than 0.5 to support the existence of convergent validity, as it appears in this study, given that the values range between 0.632 and 0.823.…”

“…84,85 In this case, the SRMR value is 0.085, which confirms that the proposed model has an acceptable predictive quality and that the empirical results are consistent with the theory. 65 At the same time, the root mean square error correlation (RMStheta) was used, which is based on the residuals of the external model, which are the differences between the values of the forecast indicators. 57 Henseler et al 57 indicate that the RMStheta values should be close to zero and less than 0.12.…”
