First-year university students entrepreneurial competence: Exploring the relationship between grit, creative self-efficacy and entrepreneurial self-efficacy Alvarez-Huerta, Paula Larrea, Inaki Muela Aparicio, Alexander Creative self-efficacy Entrepreneurial self-efficacy Grit Consistency of interest Perseverance of effort Entrepreneurship 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. 2022-05-17T14:50:59Z 2022-05-17T14:50:59Z 2021 http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_c94f 978-84-9048-975-8 2603-5871 https://katalogoa.mondragon.edu/janium-bin/janium_login_opac.pl?find&ficha_no=167811 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11984/5577 eng Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ © The authors Universitat Politècnica de València
