Abstract
El emprendimiento es importante en el sector deportivo, por lo que cada vez se están demandando más gra
duados con habilidades emprendedoras. Sin embargo, los estudios realizados con este tipo de estudiantes son
escasos. Es por ello que el objetivo del presente estudio es conocer las variables que predicen la intención de
emprender de los estudiantes universitarios del sector deportivo. Para ello se ha analizado una muestra de
240 estudiantes pre-graduados (4°grado) y post-graduados de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte
de la Universidad de Valencia, con una edad media era de 23.44 años (DT = ± 3.09) y de los cuales el 76.40%
eran hombres y el 23.60% mujeres. A todos ellos se les administró un cuestionario para medir las intenciones
de emprender y otras variables relacionadas con estas, compuesto por diversas escalas que previamente habían
sido validadas. Los resultados indican que las variables control percibido (p = 0.302) y actitud hacia la conducta
(p = 0.690) resultan estadísticamente significativas (p < 0.001), siendo esta última la que mayor peso tiene sobre
la intención de emprender, mientras que las capacidades para ser emprendedor y la norma subjetiva tam
bién resultaron ser significativas, pero ejerciendo una influencia indirecta sobre las intenciones de emprender.
Por consiguiente, se debería de incidir principalmente en mejorar la actitud hacia la conducta y el control del
comportamiento percibido de los estudiantes de Ciencias de la Actividad Física y el Deporte de Valencia para
conseguir graduados en el ámbito deportivo con mayores intenciones de emprender
Entrepreneurship is important in the sport sector, so more and more graduates with entrepreneurial skills are being demanded. However, studies with this kind of student are scarce. For this reason, the main purpose of this study was to determine the variables that predict the entrepreneurial intentions in university students of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences Degree. The sample consisted in 240 pre-graduate (4th degree) students and post-graduate students of Sport Sciences and Physical Activity of the University of Valencia, with an average age of 23.44 years (SD = ± 3.09) and which 76.40% were men and 23.60% were women. To determine the predicted variables, a questionnaire was used to measure the entrepreneurial intentions and other related variables. The questionnaire was composed of different scales that had been previously validated. The results indícate that perceived control variable (|3 = 0.302) and attitude toward the behavior (|3 = 0.690) were statistically significant (p < 0.001), being the latter variable the greatest weight of the entrepreneurial intentions, while capacities to be an entrepreneur and subjective norm were also significant, but they have an indirect influence in entrepreneurial intention variable. Therefore, it should work mainly on improving the attitude toward the behavior and perceived behavioral control of Physical Activity and Sport Sciences students of Valencia in order to get students with greater entrepreneurial intentions in sports field.
