The level of awareness of university students regarding entrepreneurial culture and its relationship to their entrepreneurial thinking

Awareness of entrepreneurship is essential for fostering sustainable entrepreneurial thinking and practices. Individuals with a well-developed awareness of entrepreneurship are more likely to engage in entrepreneurial activities and adopt a mindset that contributes to a sustainable economic future. The present study aims to assess the level of awareness of entrepreneurship among students at Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University and to explore the relationship between entrepreneurial awareness and entrepreneurial thinking. Additionally, the study seeks to determine the extent to which entrepreneurial thinking can be predicted based on the level of entrepreneurial awareness. The study sample consisted of 352 students from Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University. The researchers applied an entrepreneurship awareness questionnaire and an entrepreneurial thinking scale. The study employed a descriptive-analytical methodology, specifically the predictive correlational approach, to examine the pattern of relationships between the research variables and predict potential associations. The findings revealed a high level of entrepreneurial awareness among the study sample, as well as a high level of entrepreneurial thinking. Furthermore, the results indicated a statistically significant positive correlation between entrepreneurial awareness and entrepreneurial thinking. Additionally, the findings demonstrated the possibility of predicting the level of awareness of entrepreneurial culture based on entrepreneurial thinking skills within the study sample. This suggests that initiatives aimed at enhancing entrepreneurial thinking can play a vital role in promoting sustainable development.
