A Study on the Effects of Family Background and Socialization Development Level on University Students' Entrepreneurial Intentions
Entrepreneurial intention is the concentrated expression of innovative consciousness and entrepreneurial ability. It is a core issue of university students' entrepreneurial education research. Previous research has found that family background is an essential objective factor affecting college students' entrepreneurial intentions. However,after inspecting the family background,more factors influencing university students' entrepreneurial intentions still need further investigation. Based on Weidman's socialization theory,this study proposes the hypothesis that the level of socialization development affects university students' entrepreneurial intentions and conducts empirical research using student development surveys to collect large sample data from provincial universities. The study found significant differences in the socialization development level of student groups with different graduation plans. The socialization development level of university students who choose to start their businesses is higher than that of other groups. Family factors significantly impact students' entrepreneurial intentions,but each family factor impacts entrepreneurial intentions differently. Improving socialization development is an effective compensation mechanism to promote university students' entrepreneurial intention. Innovation and entrepreneurship education in universities should give full play to the institution's influence,propose corresponding educational strategies,and promote the reform of innovation and entrepreneurship education to promote the socialization development of university students.
