Psychological pathways in enterprise participation in university-industry collaboration: how does social cognitive theory explain participation willingness?

ABSTRACT:

Background

With the in-depth implementation of innovation-driven development strategies, University-Industry Collaboration (UIC) has become an important pathway for promoting technological innovation and industrial upgrading. However, enterprises, as one of the main collaboration entities, show significant differences in their participation enthusiasm and depth. Existing research mainly explores UIC influencing factors from resource dependence and knowledge management perspectives, with insufficient exploration of the enterprise cognitive dimension. This study constructs an analytical framework based on social cognitive theory to systematically examine how multiple cognitive factors and environmental factors influence enterprise decision-making in UIC participation.
