Abstract

College students from five private colleges and universities in Guangdong Province were selected as the research subjects. By using entrepreneurship education as a variable in the theory of planned behavior (TPB) model, a relationship model was constructed based on the influencing factors of intention of participating in online entrepreneurship among private college and university students. Then, the mechanism of entrepreneurial attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavior control, and entrepreneurial education on online entrepreneurial willingness were analyzed. Results show that the standardized path coefficients of entrepreneurial attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavior control, entrepreneurial education and online entrepreneurial intention are as follows: 0.251, 0.239, 0.163 and 0.244, respectively, showing a significant positive impact on online entrepreneurial willingness.
