The objective of this study was to analyze the evolution of the entrepreneurial characteristics parting from Kuratko and Hodgetts (1995) studies over these characteristics, from 1848 to 1982, seeking to respond to questions about how they evolved over time? which characteristics remained? which disappeared? and which emerged? To this end, a bibliographic and bibliometric research from 1983 to 2014 was carried, complementing, amplifying and comparing the findings of the original research. The bibliographic survey was made based on the keywords Entrepreneur, Entrepreneurship, Entrepreneurial Characteristics, Entrepreneurial Attitudes and Entrepreneur Profile, and from the selection of articles published in the highest rated national journals according to the Qualis system, composed by Revista de Administração de Empresas - RAE, the Revista de Administração Contemporânea – RAC, the scientific events ENANPAD and EGEPE, and the EBSCO data base in order to access international scientific journals, namely: Applied Financial Economics; Applied Economics Letters; Management Research Review; Journal of Product Innovation Management; European Management Journal; Service Industries Journal; International Journal of Entrepreneurship Innovation Management; Entrepreneurship: Theory Practice; Journal of International Entrepreneurship; Management Decision; International Small Business Journal. This study characterized as bibliometrics, reviewed 288 articles published by 341 authors and points on their results to a lot more relational entrepreneurial profile, based on interpersonal and social skills and focused more on the demands of the external environment than on the self-centered, sovereign, autonomous and independent entrepreneur profile of the first phase of the twentieth century.
RESUMOCom base na proposição de que os indivíduos valorizam organizações que apresentam um bom desempenho socioambiental, este estudo teve como objetivo avaliar a influência dos valores pessoais na escolha de uma organização para se trabalhar. Trata-se de uma pesquisa quantitativa e descritiva, utilizando-se o método survey analítico e considerando uma amostra não-probabilística, por conveniência. A coleta dos dados se deu por meio de questionário estruturado em três partes, considerando cenários de empresas, que foram avaliadas pelos respondentes em razão da disposição ou não de se trabalhar nelas, estrutura universal de valores da Teoria de Schwartz (1992) e perguntas sobre o perfil dos respondentes. Por meio da análise dos dados foi possível identificar que há indícios de que quanto maior a presença da dimensão autotranscedência -que compreende os valores universalismo e benevolência do indivíduo, segundo Teoria de Schwartz (1992) -maior a importância dada ao desempenho socioambiental da empresa, e, portanto, à sustentabilidade, uma vez que o desempenho econômico das empresas é avaliado independentemente da presença ou ausência de qualquer grupo de valores. Também foi observado que indivíduos com baixa presença de valores autotranscendentes dão menos importância à remuneração. Os principais limites desse estudo foram a amostra homogênea e não estatisticamente representativa, bem como algumas limitações intrínsecas ao instrumento de coleta de dados utilizado.

THE INFLUENCE OF SUSTAINABLE VALUE FOR CHOOSING AN ORGANIZATION TO WORK ABSTRACTThe following study aims to evaluate the influence of personal values on job choice based on the proposition that individuals value organizations with good environmental and social performances. It consists of quantitative and descriptive research, using the analytical survey method, and considers a non-probabilistic convenience sample. Data collection was done through a questionnaire structured in three parts, which included scenarios of companies that were evaluated considering the intention to work or not to work in them by respondents; the universal structure of values from the Schwartz Theory (1992) and questions in relation to the profile of the respondents. Through data analysis it was possible to identify evidence that a higher presence of self-transcendence dimension -which comprehends the values of universalism and benevolence of the individual, according to Schwartz Theory (1992) -is related to a higher importance given to the environmental and social performance of the company, and, therefore, to sustainability, once companies' economical performance is evaluated regardless of the presence or absence of any group of values. It was also observed that individuals with low presence of auto-transcendent values give less attention to remuneration. The main limitations of the study were the homogeneous and not statistically representative sample, as well a...
