Abstract

The objective of this research was to identify the main factors of influence and their level in terms of framing ‘Ștefan cel Mare’ University of Suceava into the pattern of the sustainable university. Firstly, we have thoroughly examined the literature and correlated it with the local practices in entrepreneurship and education. This resulted in a set of key issues which we have investigated as variables throughout a questionnaire that has been applied to 348 students from ‘Ștefan cel Mare’ University of Suceava (USV) in Romania. By running the Principal Components Analysis (PCA) in SPSS, we have identified which type of academic skills and competencies acquired by students are influencing the development of the university and the development of students' entrepreneurial abilities. Results indicated that a high degree of material resources available to use by respondents is associated with a high level of academic training, thus this should be a good strategy to intensify. For the second part of the analysis, we have applied the logistic regression method to measure the combined influence of factors identified throughout the PCA. Statistical analyses showed that respondents who recorded higher interactions related to the university context gained higher entrepreneurial skills and competencies.
