An empirical study on the influence of competition motivation and team relationship strength on the innovation and entrepreneurship ability of college students
Enhancing innovation and entrepreneurship capabilities of university students is a core function of innovation and entrepreneurship education. The development of these capabilities is influenced by various factors,both personal internal factors and external team factors. This study constructs a model that includes competition motivation,relationship strength,and innovation and entrepreneurship capability,to explore the mediating role of team relationship strength between competition motivation and innovation and entrepreneurship capabilities. Using data obtained from a survey of 612 college university students who participated in innovation and entrepreneurship competitions,the study employs structural equation modeling and the bootstrap method to test the research hypotheses. The results indicate that team relationship strength mediates the relationship between competition motivation—including social interaction motivation,self-expression motivation,and self-development motivation—and innovation and entrepreneurship capability.
