The Effects of the Creativity-Support Environment, Self-Efficacy, and Creative Process Engagement on College Students' Arts Entrepreneurial Mindset in a Dance Project

Objectives The main purpose of this study was to analyze whether the mediating effects of university students' engagement in the creative process in a dance creation project on the relationship between creativity supportive environment and arts entrepreneurial mindset are moderated by their level of creative self-efficacy. Methods The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis, and moderated regression analysis, and the mediated moderating effects were tested using the PROCESS macro for SPSS (Model 8). Mediated moderating effects were tested using the PROCESS macro (Model 8) for SPSS. Results The results of the moderated regression analysis are as follows First, creativity supportive environment is positively related to creative process engagement and creative process engagement is positively related to arts entrepreneurial mindset, but creativity supportive environment is not related to arts entrepreneurial mindset. Second, creativity-supportive environment has a static indirect effect on arts entrepreneurial mindset through creative process, making creative process a fully mediated effect. Third, creative self-efficacy moderates the mediating effect of creative process on the relationship between creativity supportive environment and arts entrepreneurial mindset.

It is also necessary for dance students to develop an arts entrepreneurial mindset through their enthusiasm and motivation to generate new ideas and alternatives to the creative process using their wide range of artistic experiences.
