Identification of interdependent psychosocial variables in the entrepreneurial competence

“…Creativity in the activity that is carried out must be combined with a realistic and positive view, pointing out its importance in connection with their own values-objectives and goals, interests and skills, search for opportunities and planning of an autonomous decision making (Bernal & Donoso, 2016;Lucas & Carbonero, 2002;MIT Technology Review, 2016;Sánchez-García, 2017). This creativity and innovation ability, interacting with other entrepreneurial characteristics and with the opportunities/challenges provided by the context, has been identified as a factor associated with the intent to engage in enterprise and entrepreneurial success (Başar, 2018;Miller & Le Breton-Miller, 2017;Zampetakis et al, 2011).…”
