Osman Ahmed ElSaid, María del Mar Fuentes Fuentes
The purpose of the current study was to investigate the moderating effect of the support of environmental factors on the relationship between creative thinking and entrepreneurial attitudes among university students in Egypt and Spain. A questionnaire was used to collect data from a sample of 339 university students who were enrolled in tourism and hospitality programs. Results indicated that the entrepreneurial attitudes of students, whether in Egypt or in Spain, were positively affected by creative thinking and moderated by education, university, society, and family. Results also indicated that there were similarities and differences between Egyptian and Spanish students with respect to their perceptions of different variables studied. Within the context of the theoretical background and results of the current study, implications, limitations, and future research suggestions are discussed.
