A Longitudinal Study of Conditional Student Entrepreneurship in an Emerging Economy
研究跟踪30名尼日利亚公立大学低收入家庭学生，发现他们面临资源限制和重大损失事件时，选择有条件创业以维持学业，而非辍学打工，并据此构建了财务稳定导向的有条件学生创业模型。
This study explores how students from low-income families with no prior entrepreneurial experience engage in conditional student entrepreneurship (CSE). Longitudinal data from 30 undergraduates across two Nigerian public universities revealed that resource constraints and significant loss events threaten students’ educational pursuits. However, rather than dropping out to pursue unskilled jobs, the students opt for CSE to generate income and persist in their education. Through the findings, a model of CSE for financial stability was developed to shed light on an overlooked phenomenon in emerging economies. The findings contribute to academic, policy, and practical implications.
