Abstract: Abstract This chapter reviews the concept of personal entrepreneurial competencies (PECs) and the role of university, especially quality of teaching (QoT) (based on education receivers’ perception), and the creation of PECs is empirically examined and evaluated. The aim of this chapter is to discover whether there is a relation between satisfaction with the QoT at universities and satisfaction with the creation of PECs. An additional value of this chapter is acquired knowledge about similarities and differences of view regarding acquisition of PECs and their importance in analyzed countries. In order to achieve the objective of this chapter, the study is directed at university students and graduates in China and Poland. The authors used a quantitative approach for the analysis including the Pearson correlation coefficient, the Shapiro-Wilk test and Kruskal-Wallis H test. Correlation analysis showed that there is a moderate positive relationship between the satisfaction with QoT and the satisfaction with the level of creation of PECs at the university in both Chinese and Polish scenarios. A Kruskal-Wallis H test showed that there was a statistically significant difference in the importance of acquiring competencies scores in information seeking, problem-solving skills, self-confidence, leadership skills, communicativeness, and persistence between the two countries while there was a statistically significant difference in the possibility of acquiring competencies scores in initiative, creativity and innovation, information seeking, problem solving skills, leadership skills, and communicativeness between Poland and China.
