dc.description.abstract | Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine under-researched psychological and environmental
factors related to entrepreneurial motivation and intention. This helps us to explore the links between
risk perception (risk as opportunity and risk as threat), economic context (in a recession), entrepreneurial
motivation (personal attitudes and perceived behavioral control) and intention for new venture creation.
Design/methodology/approach – A sample of 619 individuals from two European countries, Spain
and Great Britain, is studied. A range of control variables have been considered, including demographics,
human/social capital and country effects. Structural equation modeling is used to analyze the relationships
among the model constructs.
Findings – The structural model broadly holds and adequately fits the data. Entrepreneurial risk
perception is strongly linked with entrepreneurial motivation. Entrepreneurial motivation, in turn, is
strongly linked with entrepreneurial intention. It suggests, therefore, an indirect effect of risk perception
on intentions. Economic context is also linked with risk perception and entrepreneurial intentions.
Research limitations/implications – Results from this exploratory study suggest a role of risk
perception in establishing the entrepreneurial intention of individuals. Therefore, greater attention
should be paid to this element in entrepreneurship education programs. Similarly, perceptions about
the economic (recessionary) environment and its relationship with risk perception also have to be
taken into account, with the purpose of letting students understand the possibilities that are present in
a recessionary situation.
Originality/value – This is the first time that perceptions about risk and the economic context are
tested within the theory of planned behavior | es |
