“…It is interesting to note that use of outside resource persons (L) and taking initiative and seeking personal responsibility (M) was a common least developed trait in all countries. Taking initiative and seeking personal responsibility is discussed in the reviewed literature as a basic step in the entrepreneurial process (Holland & Shepherd, 2013;Tasnim et al, 2014;Ulvenblad et al, 2013).…”

“…Researchers have found that commitment is linked to entrepreneurial performance, and that passion, values, and personality play significant roles in shaping this trait (Tasnim, Yahya, & Zainuddin, 2014). We can relate a direct relationship between commitment, human relation and goal setting, as the extant literature establishes a link between personal and environmental factors that impacts the feasibility and desirability of attaining the goal of establishing a business.…”

El emprendimiento se caracteriza por un comportamiento planificado por un individuo con una serie de atributos específicos. Estudios han encontrado evidencia de que la educación actúa como un mediador entre los atributos asociados con el comportamiento emprendedor. Esta investigación explora los niveles de atributos y habilidades emprendedoras en estudiantes universitarios en Puerto Rico y los contrasta con otros países. Nuestro análisis sugiere una brecha entre los niveles de atributos emprendedores y los indicadores emprendedores clave. Los atributos dominantes de los participantes de Puerto Rico reflejaron altos niveles de confianza, energía y capacidad de pensamiento, pero baja presencia de conocimiento empresarial, uso de recursos externos, iniciativa y responsabilidad, y atributos de sentido numérico. Nuestro estudio validó investigaciones previas relacionadas con la educación emprendedora, la cual debe brindar a los estudiantes un aprendizaje de experiencia y habilidades técnicas para crear, gestionar, evaluar y sostener nuevas empresas.

“…Phenomenological approaches are gaining momentum within the entrepreneurship domain (Raco and Tanod, 2014;Berglund, 2015). One approach, Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) (Smith, 1996) has been used to explore entrepreneurial learning from failure (Cope, 2005;Mandl et al, 2016), entrepreneurial leadership (Kempster and Cope, 2010;Lewis, 2015), performance (Tasnim et al, 2014), sustainability (Munoz and Cohen, 2018) and embeddedness (McKeever et al, 2015). One of the significant features of IPA is a commitment to retain the rich and personal detail of the particular, whilst pointing to ways in which the particular illuminate characteristics of a lifeworld that are common to us all (Eatough and Shaw, 2019).…”

Climbing to freedom on an impossible staircase: Exploring the emancipatory potential of becoming an entrepreneur-employer

This article contributes to critical discussions questioning the emancipatory potential of entrepreneurship by examining the experiences of men and women entrepreneurs who have recently become employers in South Wales, the United Kingdom. Our research uses a co-creative visual method based in interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) to explore transitions from entrepreneur to entrepreneur-employer in everyday contexts. Findings demonstrate how initial emancipatory experiences become increasingly bounded when becoming an entrepreneur-employer. This exposes a Catch-22 of entrepreneuring-as-emancipation as a symptom of neoliberal entrepreneurial discourses that constrain what entrepreneurs are encouraged to do: grow. We find a plurality of particular emancipations, but conclude that within a developed context entrepreneurship, and more specifically, becoming an entrepreneur-employer is a relational step through which perceived constraints become more readily experienced and emancipation never fully realised.

“…In fact, it is extremely evident that entrepreneurial commitment is strongly tied to how passionate the entrepreneur is about his or her business. There has to be a strong emotional connection to the business if it is going to make it through the toughest of times in the startup phase of that company [2,3].…”

In the dictionary entrepreneurship is defined as: "the activity of setting up a business or businesses, taking on financial risks in the hope of profit". However, this definition does not even begin to scratch the surface for the work done in the construction industry. Construction companies are ever changing and, depending on each project that is embarked on, can be huge blessings or huge headaches. Behind every strong construction company is a strong competitor who is willing to put his or her name on the line with each and every project. These entrepreneurs are the backbone of the construction industry and without their willingness to lead the way, the industry would not be accounting for 798.10 USD Billion Gross Domestic Product in the fourth quarter of 2016. This study sets out to discover common trends and qualities that accompany the construction industry's most successful entrepreneurs. The researcher wanted to discover what character traits and circumstances set one up for success when it comes to starting and running one's own construction company. In order to do this, interviews were conducted with eight entrepreneurs who have built impressive businesses during their professional careers. These interviews lasted around thirty minutes each and the interviewees were given a list of questions before hand to look over and contemplate their responses. The interviews were later transcribed and combed through for further analyzation. Many conclusions were determined based off of the data that was received from the interviews. The interviewees revealed that the optimum time for someone to start a company in the construction industry is when they are in their thirties. The researcher also discovered that the entrepreneurs who had ten plus years of prior experience in the construction industry set themselves up for a greater chance at success. Furthermore, the biggest reason that each entrepreneur set out to start their own company was to have more control over their own decisions. Finally, the researcher also found that construction companies function the best when they are set up as s-corporations. Further research should look further into external reasons that entrepreneurs find success in the construction industry. Some of these factors might include overall industry health, key competitors or potential clients opening or closing their businesses.
