| Abstract (ENG): |
In response to growing interest in what drives entrepreneurial
behaviour, this study explores the role of individual beliefs, attitudes, and
cognitive processes. It mainly focuses on the interaction between meaningful
work (MW) and entrepreneurial passion (EP), examined through behavioural
reasoning theory. Using a quantitative methodology, data from a survey of
322 entrepreneurs were analysed with confirmatory factor analysis, exploring
the connection between MW and EP and their subconstructs. The results show
a significant interrelation between MW and EP, both broadly and in more
detailed subconstruct levels. This research contributes to understanding how
these factors synergistically influence entrepreneurial behaviour. The study
suggests that MW and EP’s interconnectedness allows them to potentially act
as proxies for each other, offering new perspectives for future entrepreneurial
research. This novel understanding may enhance entrepreneurial success by
reinterpreting existing research within this context. |
