Grit, creative self-efficacy and entrepreneurial self-efficacy have been
associated with the development of entrepreneurial behaviours that can
prepare students for a rapidly changing world of work. The main purpose of
this study is to analyse the relationship between the three variables amongst
first-year university students. A positive relationship, albeit modest, was
found between grit and the two measures of self-efficacy. Furthermore,
findings suggest that grit can be considered a predictor variable for student
self-efficacy beliefs in the context of entrepreneurship. However, this
relationship was found to be weak and not to offer significant opportunities
for the improvement of student creative and entrepreneurial self-perception,
beyond those already contemplated in social cognitive theory. Moreover,
results revealed a significant and robust positive relationship between
creative and entrepreneurial self-perceptions in university students. The
strong relationship found between creative and entrepreneurial self-efficacy
renders an opportunity to develop informed interventions directed towards
improving student entrepreneurial self-perceptions. In this regard, the results
suggest the importance of cultivating creativity in educational institutions. [-]
