description Higher education outreach programs are one of the substantive functions of higher education institutions, since they allow institutions to be engaged with the economic, productive and social context through the active participation of teachers. Among the most common forms of outreach programs are business incubators and project consulting in entrepreneurial events and science competitions, where ideas for new products or services are evaluated and the student is guided through the business start-up. The objective of this research was to identify whether some traits of university teachers are associated with their involvement in entrepreneurship activities. An exploratory and cross-sectional work was carried out supported by statistical analysis, using binary logistic regression with the SPSS program. A predictive model of teachers’ involvement in entrepreneurship activities was tested based on their knowledge and research work. Teachers who conducted scientific research were 6 times more likely to be involved in entrepreneurship activities than those who did not; likewise, it was found that teachers who had knowledge of entrepreneurship were 23 times more likely to be involved in such activities than those who did not have such knowledge. Fourteen teachers were identified as having a complete profile of entrepreneurship consultants and another five had a partial profile. Factors such as gender, training and computer proficiency of the teachers were not associated with the target profile. University professors who actively participated in entrepreneurial activities were those who had knowledge or experience in this field, above those who only carried out research. Institutional actions that favor the development of entrepreneurial skills and abilities in professors and researchers are recommended, to foster an educational culture of entrepreneurship and innovation that may enable economic growth.

La extensión universitaria es una de las funciones sustantivas de las instituciones de educación superior, ya que permite su vinculación con el entorno económico, productivo y social mediante la participación activa del docente. Entre las formas más comunes de vinculación están las incubadoras de negocios y el asesoramiento de proyectos en eventos de emprendedores y concursos de ciencias, donde se evalúan las ideas de nuevos productos o servicios y se acompaña al estudiante en la puesta en marcha del negocio. El objetivo de esta investigación fue identificar si algunos rasgos del docente universitario están asociados con su involucramiento en actividades de emprendimiento. Se realizó un trabajo exploratorio y transversal apoyado en análisis estadístico, utilizando regresión logística binaria en el programa SPSS. Se probó un modelo predictor del involucramiento de los docentes en las actividades de emprendimiento a partir de sus conocimientos y labor de investigación. Los docentes que realizaban investigación científica presentaron 6 veces más probabilidades de involucrarse en actividades de emprendimiento que quienes no la realizaban; igualmente, se detectó que los docentes que contaban con conocimientos en temas de emprendimiento tenían 23 veces más probabilidades de involucrarse en tales actividades que quienes no contaban con ellos. Se identificó que 14 docentes respondían a un perfil completo de asesores de emprendimientos y otros 5 tenían un perfil parcial. Los factores como género, capacitación y el dominio informático de los docentes no se asociaron con el perfil buscado. Los docentes universitarios que más participaban en actividades emprendedoras fueron quienes contaban con conocimientos o experiencia en este campo, por encima de quienes solo realizaban investigación. Se recomiendan acciones institucionales que favorezcan el desarrollo de las habilidades y capacidades de emprendimiento en los profesores e investigadores, para fomentar la cultura educativa empresarial y de innovación que permitan impulsar el crecimiento económico.
