Education and intrapreneurial activity in colombian university graduates

Abstract

This article analyzes entrepreneurship education from the perspective of curricular courses, extracurricular activities, and postgraduate or continuing education in universities; and seeks to contribute to the theoretical evidence of the positive relationship between intrapreneurial activity and education in Colombian universities. For this purpose, a descriptive, correlational and non-experimental study has used contingency tables and a binomial logistic regression model with 3,152 graduates of various undergraduate degree programs from 120 universities. The findings suggest that taking entrepreneurship courses, participating in extracurricular activities, and having additional training after undergraduate degree studies increases the probability of being an intrapreneur. However, the probability is not significant if the graduate participated simultaneously in curricular and extracurricular activities. Post-undergraduate training is the one with the highest odd ratio in the model.
