Competency Model: A Study on the Cultivation of College Students’ Innovation and Entrepreneurship Ability

Yu Chen, Yuan Mei

Abstract


Objectives: This study was designed to analyze entrepreneurial competency and enhance college students' abilities in innovation and entrepreneurship. Methods: Ten relevant factors were summarized based on the interview records. Relevant data were collected through questionnaires and tested for reliability and validity. The effectiveness of the ten factors on entrepreneurial competency was tested using the regression analysis method. Then, an analytic hierarchy process model of entrepreneurial competency was established to calculate the relevant weights. Findings: The data collected from the survey questionnaire had sufficient reliability and validity. The ten relevant factors were effective in developing entrepreneurial competence. The weight distribution in the analytic hierarchy model indicated that entrepreneurial knowledge was most important, followed by entrepreneurial ability, and intrinsic potential was least significant. Novelty:The novelty of this article lies in not only verifying the effectiveness of relevant factors through regression analysis but also further analyzing the weight of these factors through an analytic hierarchy process.
