Abstract

This study takes entrepreneurial students in private undergraduate colleges and universities as the research object, collects data by distributing questionnaires to many private undergraduate colleges and universities across China, and adopts regression modeling to test the mechanism of entrepreneurial psychological capital of students in private undergraduate colleges and universities on their entrepreneurial performance, as well as the moderating role of the entrepreneurial institutional environment. The empirical results indicate that the entrepreneurial psychological capital of students in private undergraduate colleges and universities has a significant positive effect on their entrepreneurial performance; at the same time, the entrepreneurial institutional environment plays a significant positive moderating role in the relationship between entrepreneurial psychological capital and entrepreneurial performance, i.e., a good entrepreneurial institutional environment strengthens the positive effect of psychological capital on performance. The study reveals the role of entrepreneurial psychological capital as the core motivation in private students’ entrepreneurship and emphasizes the importance of optimizing the external institutional environment, which provides a theoretical basis and practical inspiration for the reform and policy formulation of entrepreneurship education in private colleges and universities.
