Entrepreneurship has undoubted social value as it contributes to socio-economic development of the context where entrepreneurship takes place. When the entrepreneurial activity is undertaken among especially vulnerable groups in the labor market, the multiplying effect of this value is made explicit in society, in general, and in the collective of people with disabilities (PWDs), in particular. The objective of this research study is to explore under which conditions this happens through the analysis not only of the relationship between the competencies that PWDs attribute to themselves and their development of the entrepreneurial activity but also of that between entrepreneurship and certain conditions that potentially create value by increasing the autonomy among this collective. A quantitative methodology based on the analysis of the survey carried out on a sample of 224 entrepreneurs with physical, sensory, or organic disabilities throughout Spain has been used. According to the results, entrepreneurs with disabilities (EWDs) have a higher self-evaluation competency. Furthermore, significant results concerning the link between the form of autonomous cohabitation of this collective and entrepreneurship have been obtained.

El análisis del clima laboral responde a una visión multivariante en la que, desde la década de los años 60 del pasado siglo, diferentes investigadores lo han modelizado evidenciando diferentes dimensiones explicativas de la realidad socio-organizativa. En este sentido, y desde nuestra particular percepción del fenómeno-la correspondencia existente entre clima laboral y la redefinición de un modelo de gestión por competencias-se aporta un nuevo enfoque de análisis que confiamos ayude a explicar el comportamiento esperado de las organizaciones.
