Assessing Entrepreneurial Readiness Among Bachelor-Level School of Business Students at Tecnologico de Monterrey

Abstract:

This study explores the multidimensional nature of entrepreneurial readiness among bachelor-level students and its association with emotional support, perceived attractiveness, learning orientation, perceived ability, and passion for work. A cross-sectional survey design was employed, with data collected in November 2023 from a random sample of 250 students at Tecnologico de Monterrey's School of Business. A structured questionnaire was used to measure these key constructs, incorporating validated scales and items from existing literature. The study aims to provide practical insights and enhance the understanding of entrepreneurial readiness. Data analysis will employ quantitative techniques, including regression analysis and correlation analysis, utilizing SPSS. The findings will help inform educational strategies and support systems to nurture future entrepreneurs. This research contributes to an enhanced understanding of the multifaceted nature of entrepreneurial readiness among business students. It not only investigates the traditional determinants of entrepreneurial intention but also recognizes the significance of emotional support provided by professors within the academic community. The gap addressed by this study lies in understanding how the emotional support provided by academic institutions influences students' entrepreneurial readiness, offering a more holistic perspective on the entrepreneurial decision-making process.
