Abstract

College students’ entrepreneurship driven by innovation has made great contribution to the scientific and technological progress as well as economic development of the society, and has become a kind of value orientation and spirit of the time at present. However, the innovative behavior of college student entrepreneurs is influenced by their creative self-efficacy and innovative motivation. This paper introduces the Self-Efficacy Theory of psychology into the innovation research field and conducts questionnaire survey on 150 college student entrepreneurs from maker spaces of colleges and universities in Tianjin City, China by means of creative self-efficacy scale, intrinsic motivations scale, extrinsic motivations scale and innovative behavior scale, in order to empirically study the dynamic relations among the creative self-efficacy, intrinsic motivations, extrinsic motivations and innovative behavior of the college student entrepreneurs. According to the study results, it is found that the creative self-efficacy, intrinsic motivations, extrinsic motivations and innovative behavior are all significantly and positively correlated with each other. Besides, the creative self-efficacy, intrinsic motivations and extrinsic motivations all can positively predict the innovative behavior. In addition, both the intrinsic motivations and extrinsic motivations play a multiple mediating role between the creative self-efficacy and the innovative behavior.
