“…The objective of expanding the role and structure of startup incubators within the academic institutions/universities include utilizing it as a channel to promote and assist the entrepreneurial culture. This study extends the stream of research work that sees AI as an important element of entrepreneurship education (Al Hawamdeh Dr, 2021; Salem, 2014) with ecosystem aspect and is crucial for sustainable entrepreneurial career. In light of Bandura's social cognitive theory impact of incubators established within academic domain and a critical element for the ecosystem perspective of entrepreneurial education to examine the surrounding environment and cognitive affluence on building sustainable behavioral attributes (Arumugam & Ravindran, 2014; Elnadi & Gheith, 2021; Singh et al, 2017).…”

While the nexus of the entrepreneurial education (EE) framework shapes education policies and promotes entrepreneurial opportunities to achieve global sustainable development goals, studies on the potential mechanisms by which the ecosystem dimension of entrepreneurial education (EEE) influences entrepreneurial behavior are still scarce. To address these lacunae, this research study investigates the interaction between EEE elements (institutional environment, course curriculum, and academic incubators) and sustainable entrepreneurial intention (SEI) and in addition, examines the role of attitude towards sustainability (ATS) as a mediator from the resource dependence perspective, deploying the theories of planned behavior and social cognitive career. Furthermore, we examine the moderating role of sustainable entrepreneurial orientation (SEO) in the relationship between ATS and SEI. We developed and tested a model on a sample of 402 university and academic institution students with diverse academic backgrounds using partial least squares structural equation modeling. Results indicate that ecosystem elements of EE and attitudinal attributes are crucial factors in promoting SEI. The indirect impact of EEE involves fostering ATS, which in turn augment SEI. The results also reveal that SEO is a moderator that shapes attitudes and career intentions towards sustainable entrepreneurship. In sum, the present empirical study sheds light on the pathway to build sustainable entrepreneurial careers through analyzing the ecosystem framework of entrepreneurship education. Implications, limitations, and future research avenues are discussed in detail.

“…Las incubadoras de empresas son relevantes porque fomentan el crecimiento de las empresas incubadas (Al Hawamdeh, 2021;Al Mubaraki y Busler, 2012;Ali y Nazmi, 2023;Gao et al, 2021;Owda et al, 2019); ayudan a las empresas a crear oportunidades de empleo, proporcionando desarrollo local (Ali y Nazmi, 2023); son lugares propicios para fomentar y desarrollar ideas innovadoras (Binsawad et al, 2019;Lukeš et al, 2019;Magd y Gharib, 2021;Mas-Verdú et al, 2015;Owda et al, 2019;Wang et al, 2020).…”

“…En este sentido, las incubadoras vienen destacando en las economías impulsadas por el conocimiento y la innovación (Gao et al, 2021), ya que han demostrado ser un importante instrumento para combatir el desempleo y generar riqueza en los países desarrollados (Ali y Nazmi, 2023;Al Hawamdeh, 2021). Se consideran instrumentos de política que buscan el progreso social y tecnológico de la región, donde se ubican a través de acciones que tienen como objetivo la sostenibilidad, el desarrollo regional y la transferencia de tecnología (Klofsten et al, 2020).…”

El objetivo de este estudio fue investigar cómo se produce el proceso de intercambio de conocimientos en una incubadora de empresas de base tecnológica. Se trata de una investigación exploratoria-descriptiva, con enfoque cualitativo. El método utilizado fue el estudio de caso. El objeto de estudio fue una incubadora de empresas de base tecnológica ubicada en la provincia de Loja, al sur de Ecuador. Los datos fueron recolectados a partir de entrevistas semiestructuradas realizadas con las empresas incubadas, cuyo guion fue desarrollado a partir de la identificación de elementos de modelos de intercambio de conocimiento encontrados en la literatura consultada. El análisis de los datos se realizó mediante la técnica de análisis de contenido. Los resultados muestran que el intercambio de conocimiento en las incubadoras de empresas de base tecnológica se da en función de la presencia de las siguientes variables: conocimiento, fuente de conocimiento, destinatario, contexto y canal. Los factores que influyen en este proceso son las alianzas establecidas por las empresas incubadas y la incubadora, con énfasis en las instituciones de enseñanza e investigación; las interacciones en la incubadora y las motivaciones relacionadas con la búsqueda de innovación; los entornos que utilizan las empresas incubadas para realizar sus interacciones y compartir información, y los conocimientos compartidos por las empresas incubadas, que en su mayoría están relacionados con el desarrollo de los negocios de las empresas incubadas.

“…Actually, individuals with higher intentions would be more sensitive and concerned about information related to entrepreneurship, such as that from entrepreneurial books, contests, study classes ( Hassan et al, 2020 ), experience sharing meetings ( Giones et al, 2016 ), business incubators ( Al-edenat and Hawamdeh, 2020 ), policies ( Bahl et al, 2020 ), and so forth. With unconscious influence, they will be determined to pursue their entrepreneurial intention with more motivation and willingness to promote entrepreneurial ideas, and naturally form the desire to start businesses, which is also known as entrepreneurial commitment.…”

University students having high entrepreneurial intention while not transferring into actual entrepreneurial behavior is a contradictory issue in need of in-depth research. To explore the successive development mechanism of the entrepreneurial process, this study constructed a moderated mediation model to examine whether entrepreneurial commitment from three dimensions (affective, behavioral, and continuance) mediated the relationship between entrepreneurial intention and behavior, and whether this mediating process was moderated by family support. A survey was conducted among university students from six major universities in south China using the snowball sampling approach. A total of 469 valid responses were obtained (44.6% male and 55.4% female participants). Structural equation modeling was adopted for data analysis. According to the results of the confirmatory factor analysis, it was found that entrepreneurial intention had both direct and indirect positive effects on entrepreneurial behavior, while entrepreneurial commitment worked as the mediator, and family support moderated the relationship between entrepreneurial intention and behavior. Results indicated that entrepreneurial commitment bridged the path from entrepreneurial intention to behavior, and family support created the boundary effect. This finding highlights the importance of guiding students through entrepreneurial commitment toward entrepreneurial behavior, and pays special attention to the crucial role of family support under the national strategy.
