Abstract

The aim of this paper is to portray the effects of individual entrepreneurial orientation
of the faculty (professors, teaching assistants and researchers) on entrepreneurial
outcomes and outputs of Serbian higher education institutions. Particular objective
of the paper is to examine and explore how research mobilization, unconventionality,
industry collaboration and university policies affect entrepreneurial outcomes – joint
research agreements, contractual agreements, consulting activities, establishment of
spin-offs and patenting. For this purpose, primary data were collected at Serbian public
universities. In total, 552 respondents correctly fulfilled the questionnaire specifically
designed to meet the purpose of the study. The results indicate that entrepreneurial
orientation plays a statistically significant role in entrepreneurial outcomes. However,
entrepreneurial orientation is more important in commercial than non-commercial
research outcomes.
