Abstract(s)
Os avanços teóricos na área do empreendedorismo fazem surgir novos conceitos que sustentam o desempenho dos negócios e facilitam a análise do comportamento empreendedor. O estudo do afeto foi incorporado devido a sua influência positiva no processo empreendedor. Como consequência, a paixão é uma das experiências afetivas mais importantes e que compõe o processo empresarial. Apesar da paixão ter sido relacionada ao comportamento empreendedor desde Schumpeter, estudos mais recentes consideraram a paixão como uma poderosa força positiva que impulsiona os empreendedores.
O objetivo deste trabalho consiste na análise da paixão empreendedora, através da identificação e análise das suas origens e perceber como esta paixão pode influenciar os resultados dos empreendedores do segmento turístico de hospedagem low cost, hostels. Como tal, utilizou-se o método de investigação de natureza exploratória, com uma abordagem qualitativa e o recurso a estudo de caso de dois dos melhores hostels do mundo, segundo o site especializado Hostelworld.com. Para o tratamento e análise dos dados, recorreu-se à análise de conteúdo, com a exploração de texto introduzido no software WebQDA.
É possível concluir que há presença da paixão empreendedora em ambos os casos, entretanto esta característica foi demostrada em graus distintos entre os empreendedores. Assim, considera-se que este trabalho fornece um contributo prático relevante para a compreensão da interação entre a paixão empreendedora e a gestão em um segmento de negócio pouco investigado até o presente momento e de suma relevância no âmbito da economia internacional.
