“…This implies that the adoption of an entrepreneurship ecosystem approach in universities, which means the creation of a supportive climate, can improve the students' capability in identifying their emotions and those of others to stimulate and manage their emotions and relations. This finding is in agreement with the results of Mousivand et al (2017), Aliabadi et al (2016), Izadi et al (2020), and Ataei et al (2020). They have concluded that by creating an entrepreneurial environment, people's psychological attributes can be stimulated.…”

“…Consequently, most students and graduates are reluctant to launch their own businesses, or those who engage in entrepreneurial activities stop or abandon them incomplete. On the other hand, to move towards development, society and universities should lay the required ground for the students to be equipped with entrepreneurial knowledge and skills so that the students can use these capabilities to channelize other resources of the society towards value creation and growth and development (Ataei et al, 2020;Fallah Haghighi & Bijani, 2016;Fallah Haghighi et al, 2018b). The World Bank reported in 2015 that the difficulty of business initiation in Iran has been aggravated in recent years.…”

The present research aimed to analyze the effects of different dimensions of the entrepreneurship ecosystem on the agricultural students' entrepreneurial skills mediated by social and emotional intelligence. The research was conducted among the agricultural students at Zabol University (N = 893) of whom 269 students were sampled by the stratified randomization technique with proportional allocation. The measurement instrument was a questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by a panel of entrepreneurship experts and its reliability was determined by calculating the ordinal coefficient theta (0.81-0.92) in a pilot study. The results showed that the indicators used to measure the research variables were consistent with the factor structure and theoretical framework of the research. The entrepreneurship ecosystem was found to have a positive and significant effect on the students' social intelligence and emotional intelligence. Also, the students' entrepreneurial skills were found to be influenced by the entrepreneurship ecosystem, social intelligence, and emotional intelligence positively and significantly. It can be concluded that higher social and emotional intelligence in students and the improvement of the entrepreneurship ecosystem can provide the conditions for the students to acquire and reinforce entrepreneurial skills.

“…Moreover, it was observed that students' entrepreneurial behavior was positively and significantly influenced by their entrepreneurial aim. These findings suggest that a range of psychological factors play a crucial role in shaping students' entrepreneurial intentions and behaviors, highlighting the need to consider various factors when designing entrepreneurship education programs (Ataei et al, 2021).…”

The present study aimed to investigate the factors that influence the entrepreneurial behavior of college students. The study identified various personal and situational factors that may affect entrepreneurial behavior. The results showed that personality traits, such as openness, extraversion, and conscientiousness, had a significant positive impact on entrepreneurial behavior. Specific motivational traits, such as entrepreneurial self-efficacy, internal locus of control, and risk-taking propensity, were also significant predictors of entrepreneurial behavior. Situational factors, such as entrepreneurship education, were found to have a significant positive impact on entrepreneurial behavior, with entrepreneurial self-efficacy playing a key mediating role in this relationship. Attitudes towards entrepreneurship were found to be a significant driver of entrepreneurial intention, with perceived desirability and feasibility, as well as perceived individual and collective efficacy, also significant predictors of entrepreneurial intention. Sustainable entrepreneurial intention was found to be influenced by attitude towards the behavior variable, with subjective norms playing an indirect role in mediating this effect. Overall, the study suggests that personal traits, such as personality and motivational factors, as well as situational factors, such as education and attitudes towards entrepreneurship, are significant predictors of entrepreneurial behavior. These findings have important implications for educators and policymakers who seek to promote entrepreneurial behavior among college students. Future research should continue to explore the complex relationships between personal and situational factors and entrepreneurial behavior to further enhance our understanding of this important phenomenon.

“…Since the TPB was proposed, it has been widely used in many research fields to explore the causes of specific behavioral mechanisms, including drivers speeding and other violations in the field of safety (Warner and Aberg, 2006;Forward, 2009), energy saving and waste reduction in the field of energy conservation and environmental protection (Liu et al, 2020;Farani et al, 2021;Wang et al, 2021;Teoh et al, 2022), public transport travel in the field of transportation planning (Fu and Juan, 2017;Ng and Phung, 2021), production, consumption, and entrepreneurship in the field of the economy (He and Veronesi, 2017;Scalco et al, 2017;Ataei et al, 2021), law-abiding and compliance in the field of social morality (Cooper, 2017;, and farmers' cultural bias and adaptive behaviors in the field of agriculture (Karimi and Ataei, 2022). In recent years, scholars have also used this theory as a theoretical framework to promote specific health behaviors, such as healthy eating (Prestwich et al, 2014), physical exercise (Gourlan et al, 2016), and ending addictive behaviors such as smoking (Lareyre et al, 2021), health care behaviors (Sniehotta et al, 2014), and oral hygiene behaviors (Burns, 2009).…”

BackgroundThe health of office workers has become a major concern under the pressure of increasingly fierce job competition. As countries have gradually promoted healthy buildings, there is an urgent need to create and construct healthy office environments. Although the WELL Building Standard proposed management and design strategies based on the principles of health and medicine, it does not consider group characteristics or gender differences.PurposeThis study aims to apply the theory of planned behavior to healthy building design and supplement the important role of gender and group characteristics in behavioral guidance based on architectural strategies and user behaviors to improve the relevant building evaluation system.MethodsThis study adopted a questionnaire survey and structural equation model. Four WELL-certified healthy office buildings in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, were selected for the survey. Based on the theory of planned behavior, structural equation models for men and women were established, compared, and analyzed. The factors affecting the health behaviors of the two groups and the actual effectiveness of various building optimization strategies were discussed, and an optimization direction for gender differences was proposed.ResultsThe findings indicated differences between male and female staff in their individual characteristics and implementation of health behaviors. Management strategies, subjective design strategies in assistance and guidance, and objective design strategies in spatial planning can promote the health behaviors of the two groups. However, the design strategies of result feedback and detail optimization only appeared to have a significant positive effect on female staff, whereas the intelligent automation design strategies only had an obvious intervention effect on men’s health behaviors.SignificanceThis study found that the theory of planned behavior in the field of social psychology could be applied to relevant research on architectural design and emphasized the influence of gender. It can not only provide the optimization direction for the evaluation standards of relevant healthy buildings but also promote the implementation of health behaviors in office groups and provide new ideas for promoting the development of healthy buildings.
