Abstract

Entrepreneurship is widely accepted to be the engine of development. In the era of massive changes in the employment patterns and the emergence of self-employment, it is increasingly important to guide graduates towards self-employment. At the same time, the low intensity rates of youth in active citizenship behaviour require some intervention from higher education institutions. They are ideal settings for training and career guidance, especially if the curriculum contains elements of entrepreneurial orientation. The present article inquires into the motivation of graduates to choose the entrepreneurial path, with special emphasis on two variables, active citizenship and the concept of calling, which is novel in the career development literature.
