Main Article Content
Abstract
This study proposes and examines the effectiveness of an integrated intervention model aimed at developing entrepreneurial psychological capital for Vietnamese university students. A quasi-experimental design was applied, utilizing a mixed-methods approach that combines quantitative and qualitative research. The study sample comprised 350 students in Ho Chi Minh City who participated in two intervention measures: broad-based awareness education and intensive personal coaching. Quantitative results indicated a statistically significant increase in students' psychological capital scores across all four components - self-efficacy, hope, resilience, and optimism - post-intervention, with medium to very large effect sizes. Concurrently, qualitative analysis from 30 in-depth interviews elucidated the mechanism of psychological transformation, providing evidence for a cognitive shift among students from a risk-averse attitude to a mindset that views entrepreneurship as a learnable process, along with the restructuring of positive attitudes when facing failure. Based on empirical evidence, the study proposes a three-tier integrated intervention model encompassing foundational education, enhanced support, and personal coaching, in order to provide a comprehensive solution for fostering students' psychological resources
