Abstract

El estudio analiza la influencia del entorno académico en la intención emprendedora de estudiantes del Campus Macas de la Universidad Católica de Cuenca, Ecuador. Se aplicó un enfoque cuantitativo con diseño no experimental y análisis mediante PLS-SEM a partir de una encuesta aplicada a 38 estudiantes. Los resultados evidencian que el apoyo institucional fortalece el deseo emprendedor y las metodologías docentes impulsan el compromiso emprendedor, mientras que la formación emprendedora presenta un efecto marginal sobre la intención futura.
