Abstract
The objective of this cross-cultural study is to assess the effects of relational support on the entrepreneurial capacity and entrepreneurial attitude of university students in Korea and China. Another focal point is to identify any meaningful difference in the role of relational support between these two countries. Three universities participated in this study from both countries. 224 Korean sample and 216 sample from China were used in hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The findings report that relational support has significant positive relationships with entrepreneurial attitude and entrepreneurial capacity in both Korea and China. In addition, entrepreneurial capacity had a positive effect on entrepreneurial attitude. There were no significant differences in the effect of relational support on entrepreneurial activity between Korean and Chinese university students. Finally, theoretical and practical implication were discussed.
