The Role of the University Environment in Shaping Students’ Attitudes Toward Establishing Startups: A Field Study of Algerian University Students

Summary/Abstract: This study investigates how the university environment—pedagogical, infrastructural, and cultural—shapes Algerian students’ attitudes toward launching startups, under the policy context of Ministerial Decree 008/1275. A descriptive-analytical approach was adopted, using a structured questionnaire administered to a sample of 115 university students across disciplines. The data were analyzed using SPSS, including chi-square tests to assess associations. Results show a statistically significant relationship between university environmental factors and students’ entrepreneurial attitudes, with variations based on perceived support levels and engagement with entrepreneurial activities. The findings underscore the need to restructure academic programs and campus infrastructure to foster a stronger startup culture among students.
