Motivational profiles, sociodemographic and conditioning factors in the professional careers of entrepreneurs
Abstract The aim of this paper is to analyze the motives which are present in the decision to be an entrepreneur, in order to obtain motivational profiles according to diverse socio-demographic circumstances, paying attention to the previous experience of the subjects taking part. It has been carried out in the Spanish context from a quantitative approach via the survey technique (n=965), through a questionnaire elaborated “ad hoc”. The analyzes reveal that an important group of entrepreneurs started their businesses driven by vocation, motivated to achieve greater independence and better personal and professional development, thanks to putting their creativity into play and betting on innovation. The analyses reveal that a significant group of entrepreneurs started their businesses driven by vocation, motivated to achieve greater independence and better personal and professional development, thanks to putting into play their creativity and backing innovation. For those entrepreneurs who have started their businesses driven by necessity, their primordial aim is to get out of unemployment and achieve incomes in the framework of a context plagued by the lack of opportunities and job insecurity. These results offer a critical analysis of the influence of certain conditioning factors on the career.
