Abstract(s)
O objetivo geral deste trabalho de investigação empírica, é produzir um conjunto de
informações-base, com a finalidade de identificar e analisar quais são os principais fatores
que podem ter influência na intenção empreendedora. Tendo em conta a revisão da
literatura, foi desenvolvido um modelo fundamentado nas abordagens teóricas sobre o
empreendedorismo. O modelo de investigação inclui as seguintes variáveis: propensão para
assumir riscos, antecedentes pessoais e profissionais, motivações empreendedoras,
autoeficácia empreendedora e envolvente institucional, sendo formuladas hipóteses de
investigação relacionadas com estas variáveis. O estudo é composto por uma amostra de 47
alunos inscritos na Universidade da Beira Interior a frequentar diferentes Unidades
Curriculares da responsabilidade do Departamento das Ciências Sociais e Humanas, nas áreas
de Empreendedorismo, Gestão e Economia. Sendo os dados recolhidos através de um
inquérito disponibilizado on-line, por forma a testar empiricamente as hipóteses. Os
resultados obtidos mostram que a propensão para assumir riscos, a necessidade de realização
(motivação), os antecedentes familiares e profissionais e a autoeficácia afetam
significativamente a intenção empreendedora dos alunos a frequentar o Ensino Superior na
Universidade da Beira interior. Relativamente à envolvente institucional não se mostrou
correlacionada com a intenção empreendedora. No capítulo sobre as conclusões deste estudo
são apresentadas as implicações teóricas e práticas, assim como as limitações e sugestões
para futuras investigações.
The aim of this empirical research is to produce a set of information-based, in order to identify and analyze what are the main factors that may affect the entrepreneurial intention. Having regard to the literature review, a model grounded in the theoretical approaches to entrepreneurship was developed. The research model includes the following variables: propensity to take risks, personal and professional background, entrepreneurial motivation, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and institutional environment. From the work drafted, hypotheses were formulated for the purpose of research these variables. The study consists of a sample of 47 students enrolled at the University of Beira Interior attending different Units maintained by the Department of Social and Human Sciences in the areas of Entrepreneurship, Management and Economics. The data was collected through a survey available online in order to empirically test the hypotheses. The results show that the propensity to take risks, the need for achievement (motivation), family and professional background and self-efficacy significantly affect entrepreneurial intention of students attending higher education at the University of Beira Interior. Regarding the institutional environment, there is correlation with entrepreneurial intention. In the chapter of the findings in this study, the theoretical and practical implications, as well the limitations and suggestions for future research are presented.
