El perfil psicosocial del emprendedor: un estudio desde la perspectiva de los valores

Abstract

Por una parte, realizamos una reflexión sobre las posibilidades que ofrece el marco teórico del Modelo de Schwartz (1992) al estudio de la conducta emprendedora y, por otra parte, exploramos de manera empírica los valores personales dentro de las dimensiones de Individualismo y Colectivismo que favorecen dicha conducta. Para ello, hemos realizado un estudio descriptivo comparando los diferentes tipos de valores y los valores específicos entre un grupo de sujetos emprendedores y otro grupo que no lo son. Los resultados muestran que existen diferencias significativas, tanto en el tipo de valores, como en los valores específicos de ambos grupos. Estas diferencias apuntan que los emprendedores están inspirados por unos tipos de valores más individualistas.

Personal values and entrepreneurial intention: an empirical study

“…Spanish university graduates whose priorities are openness to change and self-enhancement values do exhibit higher intention to become entrepreneurs, as hypotheses H1 and H3 stated. This is in accordance with previous studies that identified individualistic values such as power, achievement, hedonism, stimulation and self-direction to predict the entrepreneurial intention Moriano, et al, 2001;Polley, et al, 1988). However, the results did not support H2 and H4.This could point out to the existence of more complex relationships between the values themselves, and between values and intentions.…”

Validating a theory of planned behavior questionnaire to measure entrepreneurial intentions

“…The EIQ measures PBC through entrepreneurial self-efficacy in line with other research on entrepreneurial intentions (Krueger et al, 2000;Kolvereid & Isaksen, 2006;Moriano, 2005;van Gelderen et al, 2008). In this study, we used a six-item entrepreneurial selfefficacy scale.…”

“…In their review of TPB, Armitage and Conner (2001) conclude that self-efficacy is more clearly defined and more strongly correlated with intentions than PBC. In fact, self-efficacy has replaced PBC in numerous studies (Krueger et al, 2000;Kolvereid & Isaksen, 2006;Moriano, 2005;van Gelderen et al, 2008), and a recent meta-analysis showed that it is strongly positively related to business creation and entrepreneurial success (Rauch & Frese, 2007).…”

“…The TPB integrates two lines of research on entrepreneurial intentions: research on the relationships between attitudes and entrepreneurial intention (Douglas & Shepherd, 2002), and research on the connections between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention (Jung, Ehrlich, DeNoble & Baik, 2001). The TPB has been used successfully in the past to describe entrepreneurial intentions of students in the U.S. (Autio, et al, 2001;Krueger, et al, 2000), The Netherlands (van Gelderen, et al, 2008), Norway (Kolvereid, 1996), Russia (Tkachev & Kolvereid, 1999), Finland, Sweden (Autio, et al, 2001), Germany (Jacob & Richter, 2005), Spain and Taiwan (Liñán & Chen, 2009;Moriano, 2005), and South Africa (Gird & Bagraim, 2008).…”

Análisis semiparametrico de los factores asociados a la sostenibilidad de los emprendimientos

“…Según Moriano, Trejo & Palací (2001) los emprendedores son portadores de competencias como: adaptabilidad, autonomía, capacidad de asumir riesgos, innovación, proactividad y tolerancia a la incertidumbre.…”
