“…The principal tenet of the TPB is that any behaviour demands a certain amount of planning and thus can be predicted by intentions to adopt that behaviour (Alferaih 2017) and in the matter of remaining factors, they affect intentions indirectly, through these three antecedents (Rueda et al 2015). Consequently, according to this theory and in the entrepreneurial context, EI can be defined as the individual's effort to accomplish an entrepreneurial behaviour, besides intentions can be affected directly by motivational antecedents (e.g., SN) and indirectly by situational factors (e.g., time constraints), by human capital and other demographic aspects (Naia et al 2017).…”

“…PA is characterised as a robust phenomenon with social, economic, cultural and educational fields (Naia et al 2017), besides one of the most diffused social activities in Europe (González-Serrano et al 2018). Furthermore, it turned out to be a social phenomenon with implications on performance, education and social intervention (González-Serrano et al 2018), mainly through practising sport.…”

“…In summary, previous studies analysing EI have been applied within a different context, although a lack of studies investigating the link between EI and engagement in PA exists as the list of such studies is scarce (e.g., Naia et al 2017;Marques et al 2011a) and therefore, more research is needed.…”

“…In the context of entrepreneurship, Marques et al (2011a) argued that engaging in yoga enhances psychological and cognitive attributes commonly linked to entrepreneurial profile. Nonetheless, there is a gap in the literature concerning investigations about the link between the engagement in PA and EI, once there are limited studies (e.g., Naia et al 2017;Marques et al 2011a) and more research would be useful.…”

This study aims to investigate if engaging in physical activity (PA) and gender influences people's entrepreneurial intention (EI). A survey for measuring EI and PA was developed and administered to the general population. The data were collected with a questionnaire distributed across all continental Portuguese regions. A two-way analysis of variance was used to test the influence of PA level and gender in EI. The results highlight that PA and gender have an impact on EI. This study's main practical implication is that evidence was found that people need to be involved in more PA, especially in high PA level, because the results show that there is an association with increased levels of EI. This paper contributes to filling a gap in the literature by identifying the importance of PA for the increase of EI. This relationship may be a consequence of skills promoted by the practice of PA and also the development of some personal psychological and cognitive characteristics such as autonomy, risk tolerance, and leadership. The main implication resulting from this study is that it is essential to develop and booster PA into society, namely through PA programmes in organisations, not only for improving persons' health condition but also as a social benefit, that can promote social innovation and entrepreneurship.

“…En general, el ambiente universitario influye sobre los estudiantes (Arquero y Tejero, 2006) en particular sobre la intención emprendedora desarrollando capacidades como la de asumir riesgo, la predisposición a la acción y la valoración de la propia auto eficacia (Salati et al, 2018), sin embargo, de acuerdo con el trabajo de Soria et al (2016), un curso universitario de emprendimiento puede afectar negativamente la intención emprendedora (IE) de los estudiantes. En principio, porque el emprendimiento puede ser comprendido como parte de una herencia familiar (Klein, 2016) así como derivar de la red familiar y social de padres y parientes que motivan el espíritu emprendedor y son fuentes principales de relación con el mundo de los negocios (Contreras et al, 2017) La intención emprendedora de los estudiantes se observa en la capacidad de asumir riesgos (Dastourian, et al, 2017), sin embargo, las normas subjetivas de presión social juegan un rol inverso aunque de magnitud pequeña sobre la conducta emprendedora (Naia et al, 2017). Por otra parte, la experiencia y formación previa de un emprendedor resulta ser un factor importante en la conducta (Caro-Gon-zález et al, 2016), que en el caso de las universidades colombianas, es más bien teórica y sin la suficiente consideración a la práctica, aunque con esporádicos contactos con empresarios a través de conferencias .…”

El presente artículo analiza la actitud de emprendimiento de estudiantes universitarios de una institución de educación superior en Ecuador. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal a una muestra de estudiantes universitarios regulares de una Universidad del Estado que cursan el último año de la carrera de ingeniería en negocios. Se aplicó un cuestionario estructurado con preguntas en escala tipo Likert de 5 puntos. Se realizó análisis de clúster jerárquico, además se realizó un análisis de regresión para determinar incidencias entre las variables. No se aprecia una mayor predisposición emprendedora entre los estudiantes y no se muestran convencidos de perseverar en dicha competencia. Además, quienes cuentan con familiares emprendedores, son más adversos al riesgo. Se verifica también un aceptable nivel de control interno y conciencia de que las acciones generan resultados consecuentes. En el grupo entrevistado más joven existe una ligera predisposición a la idea del negocio propio. Aunque existe temor a la inversión de sus ahorros, sin embargo, se aprecia que todos los grupos estarían dispuestos a dar todo de si por un negocio propio, sin embargo, la variable más significativa e inductora del emprendimiento es la familia.

Some jobs have a higher level of challenges and adversities. Individuals pursuing these jobs learn how to react to challenges and build up resilience. Within this study, we concentrated on the potential career path of top athletes as entrepreneurs, who are both expected to have a higher level of resilience than non-athletes. The purpose of this research was to examine if resilience is a determining factor on entrepreneurial intention and if the model based on the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) can be applied in general and for specific groups with a high level of resilience. To address the research questions, we collected data from a sample of 195 top athletes and 142 non-athletes. First, the level of resilience and entrepreneurial intention were compared with an analysis of variance (ANOVA). Subsequently, the structural equation model tested the influence of resilience on entrepreneurial intention, mediated by the TPB, first for the whole sample and then as a multigroup comparison for both groups. Resilience had an indirect influence on entrepreneurial intention, mediated by the explaining factors of the TPB (personal attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control). The multigroup comparison revealed a difference in the influence of perceived behavioral control on entrepreneurial intention between top athletes and non-athletes. Based on these results, this research added further knowledge to the field of entrepreneurial intention by examining the specific role of resilience necessary for careers as top athletes and entrepreneurs. It also contributes by researching the specific group of top athletes compared to non-athletes and extrapolating recommendations in entrepreneurship education for both groups, as creating athletes' awareness of potential overconfidence or implementing resilience training in education for non-athletes.
