Resumo: Entrepreneurial parents are important agents for transmitting entrepreneurial intentions to their children. Recent studies have highlighted that parental influence on children’s entrepreneurial careers can increase when peers are of the same gender (gender homophily) – the effects become greater in father-son or mother-daughter dyads. However, exposure to entrepreneurial parents alone is insufficient to explain their children’s entrepreneurial intentions, as dimensions such as the nature of communication/interaction and financial incentives can impact this relationship. However, these transmission factors/channels have received little attention in the literature. Thus, this study examines whether having entrepreneurial parents affects their children’s propensity to become entrepreneurs, analyzing the main transmission factors/channels and whether gender homophily moderates this effect. The sample consisted of 20,623 university students who participated in the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students’ Survey -GUESSS Brazil 2018. Data were analyzed using Multiple Linear Regression and Probit Regression Models. The results suggest that having an entrepreneurial father or entrepreneurial parents (father and mother) is associated with an increase in the probability of an individual becoming an entrepreneur. This effect is greater in the case of males in the father-son dyad. In addition, with regard to transmission channels, it was found that parental influence on the entrepreneurial career is exerted, above all, by the professional models that parents represent (career-related modeling), comments/compliments from parents (verbal encouragement), and financial/material incentive (instrumental assistance).

Estudios recientes han destacado que la influencia de los padres en las carreras emprendedoras de los hijos puede aumentar cuando los pares son del mismo género (homofilia de género), es decir, los efectos son mayores en las díadas padre-hijo o madre-hija. Sin embargo, la exposición a padres emprendedores por sí sola es insuficiente para explicar las intenciones emprendedoras de los hijos, ya que dimensiones como la naturaleza de la comunicación/interacción e incluso los incentivos financieros pueden afectar esta relación. Sin embargo, estos factores/canales de transmisión han recibido poca atención en la literatura. Así, el objetivo de este estudio es examinar si tener padres emprendedores afecta a la propensión a emprender de sus hijos, analizando los principales factores/canales de transmisión, así como si la homofilia de género juega un papel moderador de este efecto. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 20.623 estudiantes universitarios que participaron en la encuesta Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students’ Survey -GUESSS Brasil 2018. Los datos se analizaron mediante modelos de regresión lineal múltiple y regresión probit. Los resultados sugieren que tener un padre emprendedor o padres emprendedores (padre y madre) está asociado con un aumento en la probabilidad de emprender de un individuo y este efecto es mayor en el caso de los varones, en la díada padre-hijo. Además, en cuanto a los canales de transmisión, se encontró que la influencia de los padres en la carrera emprendedora la ejercen, sobre todo, los modelos profesionales que representan los padres (modelado relacionado con la carrera), los comentarios/elogios de los padres (estímulos verbales), así como el incentivo económico/material (asistencia instrumental).Pais empreendedores são importantes agentes para transmitir intenções empreendedoras aos filhos. Estudos recentes têm destacado que a influência parental sobre a carreira empreendedora dos filhos pode aumentar quando os pares forem do mesmo gênero (homofilia de gênero), ou seja, os efeitos tornam-se maiores nas díades pai-filho ou mãe-filha. No entanto, apenas a exposição a pais empreendedores é insuficiente para explicar as intenções empreendedoras dos filhos, visto que dimensões como a natureza da comunicação/interação e até mesmo os incentivos financeiros podem impactar esse relacionamento. Todavia, esses canais de transmissão têm recebido pouca atenção na literatura. Assim, o objetivo deste estudo é examinar se ter pais empreendedores afeta a propensão a empreender dos filhos, analisando quais os principais fatores/canais de transmissão, bem como se a homofilia de gênero exerce papel moderador de tal efeito. A amostra foi composta por 20.623 estudantes universitários que participaram do Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students’ Survey (GUESSS) Brasil 2018. Os dados foram analisados por meio de Modelos de Regressão Linear Múltipla e Regressão Probit. Os resultados sugerem que possuir pai empreendedor ou pais (pai e mãe) empreendedores está associado a um aumento na probabilidade de o indivíduo empreender e tal efeito é maior no caso do gênero masculino na díade pai-filho. Ademais, no tocante aos canais de transmissão, constatou-se que a influência parental na carreira empreendedora é exercida, sobretudo, pelos modelos de profissionais que os pais representam (modelagem relacionada com a carreira), comentários/elogios dos pais (encorajamento verbal), bem como pelo incentivo financeiro/material (assistência instrumental).Escola Brasileira de Administração Pública e de Empresas da Fundação Getulio Vargas2023-04-05info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/8859810.1590/1679-395120220121Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 21 No. 2 (2023); e2022-0121Cadernos EBAPE.BR; Vol. 21 Núm. 2 (2023); e2022-0121Cadernos EBAPE.BR; v. 21 n. 2 (2023); e2022-01211679-3951reponame:Cadernos EBAPE.BRinstname:Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)instacron:FGVporenghttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/88598/83341https://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/article/view/88598/83658Soares, Ana Maria JerônimoMelo, Felipe Luiz Neves Bezerra deSampaio, Luciano Menezes Bezerrainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2023-05-23T05:22:13Zoai:ojs.periodicos.fgv.br:article/88598Revistahttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebapehttps://periodicos.fgv.br/cadernosebape/oaicadernosebape@fgv.br||cadernosebape@fgv.br1679-39511679-3951opendoar:2024-05-13T10:00:31.903024Cadernos EBAPE.BR - Fundação Getulio Vargas (FGV)true
