Abstract

In recent years, Chinese universities have made some progress in innovation and entrepreneurship education, but there is still a gap between domestic and foreign universities. It is crucial to promote entrepreneurial behavior among university students and improve the quality of innovation and entrepreneurship curriculums. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between students' entrepreneurial motivation and entrepreneurial intention by constructing a mediation model of course satisfaction in innovation and entrepreneurship curriculums. The results showed that the curriculum management dimension in course satisfaction partially mediated the process of conveying entrepreneurial motivation into entrepreneurial intention. Based on these findings, universities should enhance the content of courses with disciplinary characteristics while maintaining their advantage in curriculum management. They should also improve the construction of the teaching staff and the design of course formats.
