Item type:Publikacija, Sode pasodinome graikišką riešutą šiaurinėje namo pusėje, kur mažiausiai patenka saulės. Per paskutinius dvidešimt metų stebėjau, kaip šis medis ne vieną kartą buvo nušalęs, iš pradžių lėtai stiebėsi, kol pagaliau ištvermingai pasiekė namo stogą ir praaugo jį. Stebiuosi jo vidine ištverme nepasiduoti aplinkos poveikiui ir toliau augti. Žmogaus gyvenime yra panašiai. Pažvelgus plačiau, atrodo, vieni pakankamai lengvai įveikia savo iššūkius, o kiti greitai palūžta. Šiais metais mūsų atliktas tyrimas apie suaugusiųjų psichologinį atsparumą Lietuvoje parodė, kad mūsų visuomenėje atspariausios grupės yra šios: vyrai, jauni suaugusieji (18–34 metų amžiaus), turintys aukštąjį išsilavinimą, nesusituokę ir susituokę, verslininkai ir vadovai, keturiese ar daugiau gyvenantys kartu ir vedantys namų ūkį, gaunantys daugiau nei 700 Eur mėnesinių pajamų vienam šeimos nariui. O mažiausiai atspariausios grupės – moterys, vyresnio amžiaus asmenys (nuo 65 metų), turintys vidurinį ir žemesnį išsilavinimą, našliai ir išsiskyrę, pensininkai ir bedarbiai, vieni ar dviese gyvenantys ir vedantys namų ūkį, gaunantys mažiau nei 500 Eur mėnesinių pajamų vienam šeimos nariui. Tyrimas atskleidė, psichologiškai atsparūs asmenys yra laimingesni, saugesni kasdieniniame gyvenime, labiau patenkinti savimi, savo sveikata, asmeniniais santykiais, gyvenimu su patirtais džiaugsmais ir sunkumais bei patiria mažiau streso.
31 Item type:Publikacija, research article[2025][S1][S003,S008,S007][22]; ; Higher education institutions (HEIs) are increasingly seen as central actors in entrepreneurial ecosystems, yet their support mechanisms do not always align with the needs of student entrepreneurs. This study investigates how key stakeholders, business students, professors, and experienced start-up founders perceive the relative importance of success factors for student-led start-ups within HEIs. Using a cross-sectional descriptive design, this study used a 34-item survey instrument developed through an extensive literature review and validated for content by a panel of experts. Triangulation between stakeholder groups enabled a multidimensional comparison of perspectives. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze patterns of agreement and variability, resulting in a three-tier framework of success factors based on perceived importance and consensus. High-impact factors included faculty entrepreneurial experience, student mindset, and access to mentorship, while traditional inputs such as infrastructure, legal support, and funding were ranked lower. The findings highlight a misalignment between institutional offerings and stakeholder priorities, highlighting the critical role of social and human capital. This research provides practical guidance for HEIs seeking to improve entrepreneurial support and contributes to theoretical discussions on stakeholder-informed ecosystem models. Although limited by its single-institution context, this study offers a foundation for future cross-institutional and longitudinal research.

Entrepreneurial students in higher education face challenges such as limited funding, scarce resources, lack of business experience and struggling to balance academic commitments with their start-up ventures. Additionally, they struggle with navigating complex business regulations and often lack access to proper networks or mentorship. This research contributes to a better understanding of how the entrepreneurial ecosystem in higher education institutions can support student start-up initiatives to succeed. For the research, a survey was conducted targeting ten experts from higher education institutions engaged with business or entrepreneurial study programmes. The research used the content validation method and descriptive statistical analysis to evaluate the responses, focusing on measures of central tendency and variability to determine the degree of consensus among respondents regarding the 36 statements provided. The study results revealed that while respondents agreed on the importance of student attitudes towards failure and self-confidence, there was strong disagreement among them regarding the belief that non-business students have a lesser chance of creating a successful startup. Also, experts suggested that entrepreneurship education should place more emphasis on the development of students' entrepreneurial mindset, which is considered to be an essential quality for the uncertain journey of entrepreneurship. Finally, the survey results indicated that networking and experiential learning are crucial for startup development. This underscores the importance of scientific debate not only on innovative funding models but also on non-financial support systems that surpass traditional educational methods in higher education environments.
