Abstract

The purpose of this research was to determine the association of factors in the entrepreneurial behavior of students at a Peruvian university. The methodology is quantitative, non-experimental and multivariate correlational. The participants were 500 students distributed proportionally in four academic schools: Administration, Accounting, Law and Industrial Engineering, during the academic period 2022-II. The results were obtained by applying the logistic regression model that when analyzing the different factors, it is evident that within the personal factors, age, marital status, having children, and the career they study, are associated with entrepreneurial behavior; from the economic factors, the employment situation, monthly income and having their own home, are also associated with this behavior, and finally from the cultural factors, the idea of entrepreneurship and the sector where they wish to undertake are associated with entrepreneurial behavior as well. From these results, it can be inferred that the majority of students at a Peruvian university have demonstrated entrepreneurial behavior.
