Evaluation of Students’ Entrepreneurial Spirit Survey through a Structural Equation Model

Original language description

This article contains the evaluation of the chosen part of GUESSS questionnaire which results from the structural equation modelling. The GUESSS survey was conducted at the universities around the world in the year 2016. It was the part of the same name research project with the purpose to grasp the entrepreneurial intent and activity of students using a geographical and temporal comparison. Structural equation modelling is a statistical technique developed to fit the model to the survey data and can help by exploring direct and indirect relationships among more latent variables. Structural model, which was used by authors for questionnaire evaluation, is focused on the influence of university entrepreneurial education and personal attitude on the wish to become an entrepreneur. The results are based on the relevant part of questionnaires which were answered by the respondents at University of West Bohemia. The results confirmed the most of outputs assumptions but one of them is different. The university environment, supporting the students’ entrepreneurial activities, is not important for students’ decision to become an entrepreneur. The strongest dependency for this decision results from latent variable – attractiveness of the future career as entrepreneur which is subjective.
