Empirical Data Analysis of Factors Influencing College Students' Entrepreneurial Ability in Hubei Province, China

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the potential underlying mechanisms between entrepreneurial traits, entrepreneurial support, entrepreneurial education, entrepreneurial knowledge, and entrepreneurial capabilities of college students by using a comprehensive theoretical model. The survey data were collected from 309 college students participating in entrepreneurial activities in Hubei Province, China. Through empirical analysis methods, the collected data were tested using SPSS26.0 and AMOS24.0 software, and the mediating role of entrepreneurial support and the moderating role of entrepreneurial traits in the relationship were explored using linear regression equations. The results show that entrepreneurial support plays a mediating role between entrepreneurial support, entrepreneurial education, and entrepreneurial capabilities, and entrepreneurial traits have a moderating effect in this relationship. This study provides strong support for promoting the entrepreneurial capabilities of college students and discusses its theoretical and practical significance, as well as possible directions for future research.
