Human-affective Dimensions, Entrepreneurial Intentions, and Entrepreneurial Behaviors in Entrepreneurship Training Programs for Vulnerable Populations

Abstract

This research investigated the entrepreneurial behaviors of vulnerable migrants who participated in an entrepreneurial education program and its management. By applying a structured questionnaire to the program participants, the variables that stood out most were: entrepreneurial intention, attitude towards the entrepreneur, social integration, and the usefulness of the entrepreneurial education program. In addition, the results also support the idea that variables such as role of family and migration process are relevant factors for training vulnerable migrant entrepreneurs. This research contributes to the organizational literature by understanding the role of factors related to the human-affective dimensions, entrepreneurial intention, and entrepreneurial behaviors in the development of entrepreneurial education program.
