Abstract:
Scholars are the main force behind academic entrepreneurship. The method of how to stimulate scholars' academic entrepreneurial intention and how to further promote social and economic development are important questions for the academic community. Research on the "net effect" of the factors affecting academic entrepreneurial intention has achieved some theoretical results. However, the results that affect academic entrepreneurial intention are complex and not influenced by a single factor, but rather by the interaction between various factors. Therefore, this study used a fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis research method to explore how various factors can affect scholars' academic entrepreneurial intention from two dimensions: the Big Five personality traits and academic entrepreneurial motivation. Our findings showed two configurations that affect high academic entrepreneurial intention of university scholars: the openness to experience-ribbon-dominant path, and the ribbon-dominant path. Additionally, two configurations were revealed for the formation of not-high academic entrepreneurial intention: extraversion-conscientiousness-inhibition and extraversion-agreeableness-gold-hindrance paths. Moreover, this study revealed that a causal asymmetry exists between the high and the not-high academic entrepreneurial intention configurations. This study broadens the application of the fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis method in the research of academic entrepreneurial intention and provides theoretical and practical insights for researchers and practitioners on how to effectively stimulate scholars' academic entrepreneurial intention.
