Resumen
The goal of this study is to analyze the effect of emotional ecompetencies on the
entrepreneurial training received by students at a private university ecosystem using a
modified version of Ajzen's theory of planned behavior. The results are compared with
another university ecosystem located in the same geographical area. This research
offers practical implications for improving entrepreneurship programs that contribute to
the promotion of the entrepreneurial and self-employment capacity of university
students. In order to accomplish this, we follow a theoretical model approach. After the
sclaes are validated, two samples are selected to test the hypotheses. A first sample is
a group of 1,690 new university students at three universities in Guadalajara, Mexico,
and a group of 217 students, who have been within a university's entrepreneurial
ecosystem for three years. Structural equation modeling is used to find the results of
this research. Emotional Competences show differences in the model of the
entrepreneurial intention of the private university and the public university, showing
some paths to follow the universities. The permanence in a university gives some
paths to follow for a private university with similares characteristics.
