Resumo: Objective: To investigate entrepreneurial expectations towards the COVID-19 pandemic through empirical evidence of business practices in Brazil during the beginning of the social distancing period. Also, we sought to test cognitive adaptability and human values as predictors of the decision-making process and to test whether infection with COVID-19 or proximity to the disease related to these constructs. Method: A cross-sectional study was developed with a non-probabilistic sample of 313 Brazilian entrepreneurs, in which four instruments were applied. Descriptive and multivariate analyses were carried out (e. g., exploratory factor analysis and multiple linear regressions). Originality/Relevance: The study contributes to understanding the business decision-making processes through constructs associated with human values and cognitive adaptability. Results: Human and social conditions of survival and the commitment to personal and business financial obligations guide entrepreneurial behaviour. In cases where there was contagion or proximity to the disease, entrepreneurs started to show thoughtful decisions, affective support for employees, flexibility in organizational control, and more empathic values. Theoretical/methodological contributions: This study points out the possible impacts that the COVID-19 pandemic has brought to entrepreneurs and how psychological variables explain their behaviour. Social/managerial contributions: Additionally, it sheds light on entrepreneurship from the needs and desires experienced at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and on the broader dimension directed to the serious problems experienced today.

Además, buscamos probar la adaptabilidad cognitiva y los valores humanos como predictores del proceso de toma de decisiones y probar si el contagio con COVID-19 o la proximidad a la enfermedad influyeron en estos constructos. Metodología: Se realizó un estudio transversal con una muestra no probabilística de 313 empresarios brasileños, en el que se aplicaron cuatro instrumentos. Se realizaron análisis descriptivos y multivariados (p.ej., análisis factorial exploratorio y regresión lineal múltiple). Relevancia/originalidad: El estudio contribuye a comprender los procesos de toma de decisiones empresariales a través de constructos asociados a los valores humanos y la adaptabilidad cognitiva. Resultados: Las condiciones humanas y sociales de supervivencia y el compromiso con las obligaciones financieras personales y empresariales orientaron el comportamiento de los emprendedores investigados. En los casos en que hubo contagio o proximidad de la enfermedad, los empresarios comenzaron a demostrar decisiones meditadas, apoyo afectivo a los empleados, flexibilidad en el control organizacional y valores más empáticos. Aportes teórico-metodológicos: Este estudio señala los posibles impactos que la pandemia del COVID-19 ha traído a los emprendedores y cómo las variables psicológicas explican su comportamiento. Aportes sociales: Adicionalmente, se arroja luz sobre el emprendimiento a partir de las necesidades y anhelos vividos al inicio de la pandemia del COVID-19.Objetivo: Investigar expectativas empresariais frente à pandemia da COVID-19, por meio de evidências empíricas de práticas comerciais no Brasil durante o início do período de distanciamento social. Também, buscou-se testar a adaptabilidade cognitiva e os valores humanos como preditores do processo de tomada de decisão e testar se o contágio com COVID-19 ou a proximidade com a doença influenciou esses constructos. Metodologia: Realizou-se um estudo transversal com uma amostra não probabilística de 313 empreendedores brasileiros, em que foram aplicados quatro instrumentos de pesquisa. Procederam-se análises descritivas e multivariadas (p.ex., análise fatorial exploratória e regressão linear múltipla). Relevância/originalidade: O estudo contribui para compreender os processos de tomada de decisão empresarial por meio de constructos associados aos valores humanos e à adaptabilidade cognitiva. Resultados: As condições humanas e sociais de sobrevivência e o compromisso com obrigações financeiras pessoais e empresariais foram norteadoras do comportamento dos empreendedores investigados. Nos casos em que houve o contágio ou proximidade com a doença, os empreendedores passaram a demonstrar decisões ponderadas, suporte afetivo aos colaboradores, flexibilidade no controle organizacional e valores mais empáticos. Contribuições teórico-metodológicas: Este estudo aponta os possíveis impactos que a pandemia da COVID-19 trouxe para empreendedores e como variáveis psicológicas explicam o comportamento destes. Contribuições sociais: Adicionalmente, lança-se luz sobre o empreendedorismo a partir de necessidades e anseios vivenciados no início da pandemia da COVID-19.ANEGEPE - Associação Nacional de Estudos em Empreendedorismo e Gestão de Pequenas Empresas2023-06-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdftext/htmltext/htmltext/htmltext/htmlhttps://www.regepe.org.br/regepe/article/view/224010.14211/regepe.esbj.e2240REGEPE Entrepreneurship and Small Business Journal; Vol. 12 No. 2 (2023): May-Aug.
