Abstract

In a communication entitled "Action plan "Entrepreneurship 2020' - To revive the entrepreneurship in Europe", the European Commission considers the possibility, for any student to be formed and undertake on its campus. It is also the issue of the action of the French Government clearly expressed on the national pact for the growth, the competitiveness and the employment of November 2012. Thus, we can affirm that if the creation of company is a personal and individual adventure, it is also the issue of the very whole society, because its benefit are collective. The creation of company is indeed the key of competitiveness, the economic growth and employment. However, to stimulate the spirit to undertake, it is important to include the psychological and social factors which determines the professional orientation of the young people. For that purpose, we made a study to check the impact of objective congruence between the opinions, the motivations of the parents and those of their children on the entrepreneurial intention of the young people in Italy. A sample of 235 families answered a questionnaire which measured the opinions and the motivotions of the parents and the children and the professional orientation of the children. We found out that that when there is congruence between the opinions and the motivations of the parents, the entrepreneurial choice is positively influenced. (English) [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
