Abstract
O mundo em que vivemos actualmente está caracterizado como da era da
globalização, do empreendedorismo e de elevada competição empresarial. Por
outro, há uma forte mudança marcada por um clima significativo de
tranformações nas mais diferentes esferas da vida humana, nomeadamente:
política, social e sobretudo na económica, o que exige e exigirá cada vez mais
a necessidade de fazer muitas ações que promovam o empreendedorismo e o
surgimento de novos empreendedores e empresários. É reconhecido que o
empreendedorismo trata-se de uma temática bastante importante, que diz
respeito à criação de um novo ambiente de negócios e multiplicidade de
empregos, criação de novas empresas que possam gerar riqueza, nas mais
vastas regiões planetárias, ou mesmo, dentro de um determinado país. A
presente investigação identifica e avalia o impacto do empreendedorismo na
intenção empreendedora dos estudantes de ensino superior angolano e, ao
mesmo tempo, procura, através da revisão de literatura, fazer uma explanação
sobre os aspectos inerentes ao empreendedorismo. A intenção de abordar o
empreendedorismo ligado ao ensino do empreendedorismo na escola e os
fatores comportamentais dos empreendedores também são realçados neste
trabalho. Com base na fundamentação teórica, as hipóteses formuladas são
testadas quando se fez a análise dos resultados, tendo ficado vincado que as
variáveis “necessidade de realização” e “ensino do empreendedorismo”
não exercem influência sobre a variável independente “intenção
empreendedora”. Perante os resultados obtidos constatou-se que a variável
“auto-eficácia” afeta negativamente a “intenção empreendedora” ao passo
que a variável “desejo de independência” influencia positivamente na
“intenção empreendedora”. Os resultados obtidos divergem do esperado
segundo a revisão de literatura, proporcionando uma visão diferente do padrão
observado em outros estudos, contribuindo para o entendimento da relação
entre as características empreendedoras, o ensino do empreendedorismo e a
intençao empreendedora.
The world we live in is currently characterized as the era of globalization, entrepreneurship and high business competition. On the other, there is a strong shift marked by a significant climate transformations in many different spheres of human life, namely: political, social and especially in economic, requiring and increasingly require the need to do many activities that promote entrepreneurship and the emergence of new entrepreneurs and businessmen. It is recognized that entrepreneurship is a very important issue, concerning the creation of a new business environment and multiplicity of jobs, creation of new businesses that can generate wealth, in the broader planetary regions, or even within a given country. This research identifies and assesses the impact of entrepreneurship in the entrepreneurial intention of the Angolan higher education students and at the same time, looking through the literature review, make an explanation of the circumstances relevant to entrepreneurship. The intention of addressing entrepreneurship combined with entrepreneurship education at school and behavioral factors of entrepreneurs are also highlighted in this work. Based on the theoretical foundation, the hypotheses are tested when it made the analysis of the results, having been creased the variables "need for achievement" and "entrepreneurship education" have no influence on the independent variable "entrepreneurial intention." In view of the results it was found that the variable "self-efficacy" adversely affects "entrepreneurial intention" while the variable "desire for independence" influences positively the "entrepreneurial intention." The results differ from expected according to the literature review, providing a different view of the pattern observed in other studies, contributing to the understanding of the relationship between entrepreneurial characteristics, entrepreneurship education and the intention entrepreneurial.
