这项研究背后的理由是，义务教育后的创业教育项目（EEP）主要针对创业意图，而不是实际的创业行为，并且与实践中的企业家相比，学生在进入此类项目时可能具有广泛的创业意图。问题是学生是否确实有不同的创业意图，如果有，是否有可能根据已知影响这些意图的各种经典前因来预测这些意图。为了调查这个问题，我们对 102 名生命科学专业的学生进行了一项定量研究。结果表明，学生无论学习领域如何，都能区分不同类型的创业意图。此外，结果表明，性别和创业自我效能感对创业意向有直接影响。然而，性别的影响取决于所研究的创业意图的类型。由于 EEP 的目标不仅是作为一项初创活动，而且更广泛地在工作领域提高创业精神，这项研究的结果表明，此类项目重新思考其运作方式、方法和旨在刺激学生创业行为的方式是富有成效的。
The rationale behind this study is that entrepreneurship education programmes (EEP) in post‐compulsory education mainly address entrepreneurial intentions, instead of actual entrepreneurial behaviour, and that students, compared to practicing entrepreneurs, might have a wide range of entrepreneurial intentions when entering such a programme. The question is whether or not students indeed have different entrepreneurial intentions and, if so, whether it is possible to predict these intentions based on various classical antecedents known to influence these intentions. A quantitative study among 102 life‐sciences students was carried out in order to investigate this question. The results show that students, independent of their domain of study, differentiate between different types of entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore, the results illustrate that gender and entrepreneurial self‐efficacy have a direct influence on entrepreneurial intentions. However, the effect of gender depended on the type of entrepreneurial intentions studied. As EEP aim to increase entrepreneurship not only as a start‐up activity but also more generally in the world of work, the outcomes of this study suggest that it is fruitful for such programmes to rethink the way they operationalise, approach and aim to stimulate entrepreneurial behaviour of students.
