Abstract
Existing knowledge regarding how student entrepreneurs leverage open innovation (OI) and incubation services within university business incubators (UBIs) to enhance the performance of university-incubated startups (UISs) is limited. We propose a model suggesting that the adoption of OI practices mediates the relationship between student entrepreneurs' OI motives and UISs’ performance, while UBI services mediate the relationship between the use OI practices and UISs’ performance. To validate our model, we conducted a quantitative survey of 97 student entrepreneurs from five UBIs in Latvia. Our findings demonstrate a dual mediating effect where the use of OI practices and UBI services significantly impacts UISs’ performance while providing valuable theoretical and practical insights.

Résumé
Les recherches sur l’utilisation de l’innovation ouverte (IO) et des services d’incubateurs universitaires (IUs) par les étudiants entrepreneurs pour améliorer la performance des startups incubées par les universités (SIUs) demeurent limitées. Nous proposons un modèle suggérant que l’adoption des pratiques d’IO médiatise la relation entre les motivations d’IO des étudiants entrepreneurs et la performance des SIUs, tandis que les services d’IUs influencent la relation entre l’utilisation des pratiques d’IO et la performance des SIUs. Une enquête quantitative, menée auprès de 97 étudiants entrepreneurs dans cinq IUs en Lettonie, révéle un double effet de médiation des pratiques d’IO et des services d’IUs sur la performance des SIUs, offrant ainsi des perspectives théoriques et pratiques précieuses.

Resumen
El conocimiento existente sobre cómo los estudiantes emprendedores aprovechan la innovación abierta (IO) y los servicios de incubación en los incubadores universitarios (IUs) para mejorar el rendimiento de los startups incubados por universidades (SIUs) es limitado. Proponemos un modelo que sugiere que la adopción de prácticas de IO media la relación entre las motivaciones de IO de los estudiantes emprendedores y el rendimiento de las SIUs, mientras que los servicios de los IUs median la relación entre el uso de prácticas de IO y el rendimiento de los startups. Para validar nuestro modelo, realizamos una encuesta cuantitativa a 97 estudiantes emprendedores de cinco IUs en Letonia. Nuestros hallazgos demuestran un efecto mediador dual donde el uso de prácticas de IO y los servicios de los IUs impactan significativamente en el rendimiento de las SIUs, proporcionando valiosos conocimientos teóricos y prácticos.
