Entrepreneurial Intention, Entrepreneurial Capability, Entrepreneurial Performance, Environmental DynamicsAbstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial capability on entrepreneurial performance among university students, as well as the moderating role of environmental dynamics. To achieve this goal, a quantitative approach was adopted, focusing on university students engaged in entrepreneurial activities. Data were collected through survey questionnaires, resulting in 424 valid responses, which were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis. The findings indicate that entrepreneurial intention positively influences entrepreneurial performance, and entrepreneurial capability also significantly enhances entrepreneurial performance. Moreover, environmental dynamics positively moderate the relationships between entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial performance, as well as between entrepreneurial capability and entrepreneurial performance.
