Abstract
This study aims to map and identify the characteristics, methodologies, and results of empirical studies on entrepreneurial orientation (EO) at higher education institutions (HEI). A systematic literature review (SLR) was carried out using the Scopus database to do this. The findings show few studies on EO in the HEI context. There is also a lack of studies exploring the interrelationships between the EO of HEIs, the EO of students, and the EO of outreach structures. This research proposes an EO structure for the HEI context, setting out the dimensions, antecedents, moderators, and results of this construct, enabling future studies to achieve broader and deeper reflection on the importance of EO within the HEI context.
