Abstract

Recently, there has been a growing focus on the Entrepreneurial Intention of Chinese College Students as a key driver of motivational behavior. However, previous research has provided limited analysis on the actual impact of Social Support on the Entrepreneurial Intention of Chinese College Students. The purpose of this study is to enhance the Entrepreneurial Intention of Chinese College Students and to ascertain the mediating effect of Career Adaptability in the relationship between Social Support and Entrepreneurial Intention. Zhejiang Province, the top-ranked province in private economy in China, possesses a strong economic development momentum and an innovative entrepreneurial atmosphere. Therefore, this study selected 194 third and fourth-year undergraduate students from universities in Zhejiang Province as participants and collected data through a survey utilizing measures of Social Support, Career Adaptability, and Entrepreneurial Intention. The collected data was analyzed for correlations between the measured variables using SPSS 26 and Stata 17 SEM Builder for quantification and validation. The results of the study revealed that, firstly, while Social Support did not have a direct impact on Entrepreneurial Intention, it was found to have an indirect influence on Entrepreneurial Intention through Career Adaptability and its various sub-variables. Secondly, Social Support among College Students was found to have a positive impact on Career Adaptability. Thirdly, Career Adaptability among College Students was found to have a positive impact on Entrepreneurial Intention. Based on these analytical findings, this study provides theoretical and practical implications as well as fundamental information for entrepreneurship education and Career Adaptability at the university level.

요즘에는 중국 대학생들의 창업 의지가 동기부여 행동의 초점이 되고 있지만 기존의 선행연구들은 사회적 지지가 중국 대학생의 창업의지에 실제로 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 분석한 연구는 드물다. 이 연구의 목적은 중국 대학생들의 창업 의지를 증진시키고, 사회적 지지와 창업 의지 사이의 관계에서 진로적응성의 매개 효과를 규명하는 것이다. 중국에서 민영 경제 1위인 저장성(浙江省)은 강력한 경제 발전 동력과 혁신적인 창업 분위기를 갖추고 있다. 그래서 본 연구는 저장성 소재 4년제 대학교의 3-4학년 대학생 194명을 연구대상자로 선정하여 사회적 지지, 진로적응성, 창업의지 척도를 활용한 설문조사를 통해 자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 데이터는 측정 변수 간의 상관 관계를 분석하는 데 사용되었으며 SPSS26과 Stata17SEM builder를 이용하여 데이터를 정량화 및 검증하였다. 연구 결과는 첫째, 사회적　지지가 창업의지에 직접적으로 영향을 미치는 것은 확인되지 않았지만, 진로적응성과 각종 하위변수를 통해 간접적으로 창업의지에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 대학생의 사회적 지지는 진로적응성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 대학생의 진로적응성은 창업의지에 긍정적영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 분석결과를 바탕으로 대학의 창업교육과 진로적응성 등 관련하여 이론적 및 실무적인 시사점과 기초적인 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
