Abstract

The rapid shift toward a knowledge-based economy highlights the importance of entrepreneurship and innovation in higher education. This study investigates how innovation and entrepreneurship education and students' initiative personality influence entrepreneurial intentions, while also examining the role of demographic characteristics such as age, gender, and family income. A quantitative survey was administered to 750 higher vocational college students, and the data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-tests, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression. Results indicate that both innovation and entrepreneurship education (β = 0.322, p < 0.01) and initiative personality (β = 0.559, p < 0.01) significantly and positively affect entrepreneurial intentions, with initiative personality having a more substantial effect. Demographic factors, including age, gender, and household income, also significantly differentiate entrepreneurial intentions. This study contributes by integrating educational and personality perspectives to explain entrepreneurial intentions in vocational students. Findings suggest that enhancing entrepreneurship curricula while fostering proactive traits can effectively strengthen students' entrepreneurial motivation and practical readiness.

Abstract

This study focuses on three main issues, namely the relationship between students' general demographic characteristics (e.g., age, gender, place of residence, and annual income) and the entrepreneurial intentions in higher vocational colleges, how innovation and entrepreneurship education influence the entrepreneurial intentions of students in higher vocational colleges, how an active personality shapes the entrepreneurial intentions of students in higher vocational colleges. Employing quantitative research methods and various statistical techniques, including descriptive, correlational, and regression analyses, this paper explores the relationships among demographic variables, innovation and entrepreneurship education, active personality, and entrepreneurial willingness. Based on the findings, several recommendations are presented. The results of this research offer theoretical support for enhancing innovation and entrepreneurship education strategies for students in higher vocational colleges. Students can enhance their entrepreneurial capabilities and boost their self-worth by emphasizing crucial factors such as innovation, entrepreneurship education, and proactive personality traits.
