Abstract

Sobre una base teórica bien establecida (Teoría de Carrera Cognitiva Social), este estudio examina los efectos de factores cognitivos, demográficos y contextuales, en el desarrollo de la intención emprendedora. Para probar las hipótesis, se realizó un análisis de “regresión logística binaria”. Los datos fueron recogidos mediante la encuesta “Global Entrepreneurship Monitor” en la que participaron 183,049 personas de 54 países. Creencias de autoeficacia emprendedora y expectativas de carrera empresarial se correlacionaron significativamente con la intención emprendedora. Tener un negocio, actividad emprendedora como parte de un trabajo regular, invertir en una empresa, tener un modelo a seguir, la persuasión social a través de medios de comunicación y el miedo al fracaso, son importantes fuentes de autoeficacia emprendedora. Existe una relación moderada entre el perfil institucional del país y las fuentes de autoeficacia. Copyright Springer Science+Business Media New York 2015
