Resumo: | Entrepreneurship and its drivers analysis has been a hot topic in recent economic literature. Using theoretical concepts of the individual factors impacting the probability of individual’s occupational choice decision, this study aims to examine whether the type of education impacts the probability of an individual to be willing to pursue self-employment. Through the development of a comprehensive survey, this study uses its own data set to understand whether entrepreneurial training and experience influence individual’s entrepreneurial intentions. A Survey inspired in the Flash Barometer 2000/2004 was constructed to develop our data set including 521 students from all four schools within ISCTE-IUL (Instituto Superior de Ciências do Trabalho e da Empresa – Instíuto Universitário de Lisboa). The data set is used to test three models under three different hypothesis. The first model is generated under the hypothesis of whether students from different schools have different entrepreneurial intentions. The second and third, under the hypothesis of whether previous entrepreneurial subjects and entrepreneurial experience impacts student’s entrepreneurial intentions, respectively. Binary logistic regressions are used to perform the analysis of these models. The study does not find support for any of the hypotheses. Such results highlight the need to further develop the literature on this topic, complementing it with different variables and testing it with innovative econometric methods. In addition, to remove possible biases giving our narrow sample and its characteristics, one must suggest the need to test these findings for a more broad data with cross-country analysis. |

Através do uso de conceitos teóricos sobre os fatores individuais que afetam a probabilidade da decisão na escolha ocupacional, este estudo pretende analisar se o tipo de educação terá influência na probabilidade de um indivíduo estar disposto a trabalhar por conta própria. Através da criação de um questionário, este estudo faz uso da sua própria base de dados para compreender se as disciplinas assim como a experiência em empreendedorismo influenciam as escolhas ocupacionais dos indivíduos. Um questionário inspirado no "Flash Barometer" 2000/2004 foi construído para desenvolver uma base de dados, incluindo 521 alunos das quatro escolas do ISCTE-IUL. A base de dados é usada para testar três modelos que assumem três hipóteses distintas. A primeira hipótese é se os estudantes das diferentes escolas têm diferentes intenções no que diz respeito ao autoemprego. A segunda e a terceira são se os alunos que tiveram disciplinas e experiência profissional em empreendedorismo têm diferentes intenções no que diz respeito ao autoemprego, respetivamente. Estes modelos são analisados através de regressões logísticas binárias. Este estudo não evidencia suporte para nenhuma das hipóteses. Tais resultados destacam a necessidade de desenvolver a literatura sobre este tema, complementando-a com diferentes variáveis e testando-as, posteriormente, com métodos econométricos inovadores. Por fim, de forma a remover possíveis imparcialidades resultantes de uma amostra limitada e com características restritas, sugere-se o teste destes resultados para bases de dados mais amplas, comparando os resultados para diversos países.2018-05-04T11:54:36Z2017-12-19T00:00:00Z2017-12-192017-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/masterThesisapplication/pdfapplication/octet-streamhttp://hdl.handle.net/10071/15744TID:201791404engCaria, Ana Margarida Proençainfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-11-09T17:57:20Zoai:repositorio.iscte-iul.pt:10071/15744Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T22:29:34.509229Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse |
