本研究旨在探讨心理资本对大学生创业意向的影响。研究还考察了创业资本的中介作用。通过对传统资本和心理资本的分析，提出传统资本是驱动创业行为的直接因素，而心理因素并不直接影响创业者的创业行为，而是通过影响传统资本来提高创业者的创业行为。采用结构方程模型（SEM）方法，对来自东南地区高校的1914份问卷进行了分析，以检验研究假设。研究结果表明，大学生个人资本仅通过传统的财务资本、人力资本和社会资本（SC）对大学生情商产生显著的间接影响。这些结果支持了传统创业资本在解释个人资本与企业家精神关系中的中介作用。此外，SC对EI的影响高于财务和人力资本（HC）。最后，本文讨论了本研究的局限性和意义，并对未来的研究方向提出了建议。
The aim of this study was to identify the influences of psychological capital (PC) on students' entrepreneurial intention (EI) in China's universities. The mediating effects of Entrepreneurial Capitals were also examined. Based on the analysis of the traditional capital and PC, the paper proposes that traditional capital is the direct factor to drive the behavior of entrepreneurship, while psychological factors do not directly affect EI, but improve EI by influencing traditional capital. A total of 1914 responses from universities in southeast China were analyzed using the structural equation modeling (SEM) approach to test study hypotheses. Results show that PC has a significant indirect impact on students' EI only through traditional financial, human, and social capital (SC). These results support the mediating role of the traditional entrepreneurial capitals in explaining the relationship between PC and EI. Additionally, the impact of SC on EI is higher than that of financial and human capital (HC). Finally, research limitations and implications are discussed and future research directions are suggested.
