Abstract
The research topic “The Influence Mechanism of Innovation and Entrepreneurial Education on Students' Entrepreneurial Intention in Private Colleges in Guizhou Province, China” This study examined the dimensions of Innovation and Entrepreneurial Education and the influence of entrepreneurial self-efficacy on college students' entrepreneurial intention, as well as the mediating role of entrepreneurial self-efficacy in the impact of innovation and entrepreneurial education on college students' entrepreneurial intention. The study also explored the moderating role of the internal-external locus of control on the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Both qualitative and quantitative research methods were used, and a survey of 400 valid questionnaires was collected. Empirical analysis and hypothesis testing showed that entrepreneurial theory education and education support had a significant positive impact on the formation of entrepreneurial intention, while entrepreneurial practice education did not. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy played a mediating role in theory education and education support, but not in practice education. Meanwhile, the internal personality of control played a moderating role.
