Resumo: Objective: This study aims to investigate the effects of personality traits on the entrepreneurial intentions of students concluding Accounting courses at two private higher education institutions and a public one, located in the Midwest region of Brazil. Methodology: Descriptive study, carried out from a survey, with the sample consisting of 173 students, 86 from a public university and 87 from two private universities. The survey instrument was applied in person to the respondents and for data analysis, the structural equation modeling technique was adopted. Results: Among the results, it was found that attitudes affect students’ entrepreneurial intentions in a statistically significant way, allowing inferring that it is one of the strongest principles to start an entrepreneurial career due to the evaluation of the pros and cons. It was also confirmed that personality traits (proactive personality and locus of control) are very relevant to understanding an individual’s entrepreneurial interests. The proactive personality is a characteristic that positively affects the attitude, the subjective norm, the perceived behavioral control and also the entrepreneur’s intentions. The locus of control in turn affects both the subjective norms and the perceived behavioral control of the individual. Contributions of the study: Its results allow inferring that the personality traits and the variables of the Theory of Planned Behavior are in good parts predictors of the behavioral intentions.

Metodología: Estudio descriptivo, realizado a partir de una encuesta, con una muestra de 173 estudiantes, 86 de una universidad pública y 87 de dos universidades privadas. El instrumento de la encuesta se aplicó en persona a los encuestados y para el análisis de datos, se adoptó la técnica de modelado de ecuaciones estructurales. Resultados: Entre los resultados, se encontró que las actitudes afectan las intenciones empresariales de los estudiantes de una manera estadísticamente significativa, lo que les permite inferir que es uno de los principios más fuertes para comenzar una carrera empresarial debido al hecho de evaluar los pros y los contras. También se confirmó que los rasgos de personalidad (personalidad proactiva y locus de control) son muy relevantes para comprender los intereses empresariales de un individuo. La personalidad proactiva es una característica que afecta positivamente la actitud, la norma subjetiva, el control conductual percibido y también las intenciones del emprendedor. El locus de control a su vez afecta tanto a las normas subjetivas como al control conductual percibido del individuo. Contribuciones del estudio: Sus resultados permiten inferir que los rasgos de personalidad y las variables de la Teoría del comportamiento planificado son, en buena parte, predictores de intenciones conductuales.Objetivo: Este estudo tem como objetivo investigar quais os efeitos dos traços de personalidade sobre as intenções empreendedoras dos alunos concluintes dos cursos de Ciências Contábeis de duas instituições de ensino superior privadas e uma pública, localizadas na região centro-oeste do Brasil. Metodologia: Estudo descritivo, realizado a partir de uma pesquisa de levantamento, com a amostra constituída por 173 alunos sendo 86 de uma universidade pública e 87 de duas universidades privadas. O instrumento de pesquisa foi aplicado presencialmente aos respondentes e para a análise dos dados adotou-se a técnica de modelagem de equações estruturais. Resultados: Dentre os resultados constatou-se que as atitudes afetam as intenções empreendedoras dos alunos de maneira estatisticamente significante permitindo inferir que ela é um dos princípios mais forte para se iniciar uma carreira empreendedora pelo fato da avaliação dos prós e contras. Também confirmou-se que os traços de personalidade (personalidade proativa e lócus de controle) são muito relevantes para se entender os interesses empreendedores de um indivíduo. A personalidade proativa é uma característica que afeta positivamente a atitude, a norma subjetiva, o controle comportamental percebido e também as intenções empreendedoras do indivíduo. O lócus de controle por sua vez afeta tanto nas normas subjetivas quanto no controle comportamental percebido do indivíduo. Contribuições do estudo: Seus resultados permitem inferir que os traços de personalidade e as variáveis da Teoria do Comportamento Planejado são em partes boas preditoras das intenções comportamentais.Portal de Periódicos Eletrônicos da UFRN2021-01-02info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufrn.br/ambiente/article/view/2365010.21680/2176-9036.2021v13n1ID23650REVISTA AMBIENTE CONTÁBIL - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte; Vol. 13 No. 1 (2021): Jan./Jun.REVISTA AMBIENTE CONTÁBIL - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte; Vol. 13 Núm. 1 (2021): Jan./Jun.REVISTA AMBIENTE CONTÁBIL - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte - ISSN 2176-9036; v. 13 n. 1 (2021): Jan./Jun.2176-903610.21680/2176-9036.2021v13n1reponame:Revista Ambiente Contábilinstname:Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN)instacron:UFRNenghttps://periodicos.ufrn.br/ambiente/article/view/23650/13671Copyright (c) 2021 REVISTA AMBIENTE CONTÁBIL - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte - ISSN 2176-9036http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessEdicreia Andrade dos SantosGabriel Lourenço XavierCristiane Alves da Silva MouraLuiz Miguel Renda dos Santos2023-01-18T20:00:29Zoai:periodicos.ufrn.br:article/23650Revistahttps://periodicos.ufrn.br/ambientePUBhttps://periodicos.ufrn.br/ambiente/oai||prof.mauriciocsilva@gmail.com2176-90362176-9036opendoar:2023-01-18T20:00:29Revista Ambiente Contábil - Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN)false
