Abstract:
This study investigates the entrepreneurial self-assessment, behavior, and motivation of Chinese university students. Employing a descriptive correlational research design, a questionnaire survey was administered to 400 students at Wannan University. Findings reveal inconsistencies between students’ self-assessed entrepreneurial abilities and actual entrepreneurial behaviors. While students expressed confidence in their entrepreneurial potential, they exhibited a cautious approach towards entrepreneurial ventures. Education level cognition, and self-efficacy emerged as significant predictors of entrepreneurial behavior. Moreover, the study identified a gap in entrepreneurial knowledge and promotional skills among students. To enhance entrepreneurial education, this study recommends optimizing entrepreneurship curricula, expanding the pool of entrepreneurial faculty, and leveraging available resources to foster a more entrepreneurial mindset among students. By addressing these areas, universities can better equip students for entrepreneurial endeavors and contribute to the development of China’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.
