“…It is not the only point of view. Some other authors [55,56] consider that the propensity towards risk taking acts as a mediator between the tolerance of ambiguity, the locus of control, the need for achievement and entrepreneurial intentions.…”

Developing people's interest towards starting a business plays a vital role in the former socialist countries in which, for a very long time, private property and free initiative were almost completely annihilated. Therefore, countries like Romania cannot design a sustainable growth model without taking into account the necessary improvements in the human capital factor, through the entrepreneurial education specific to the market economy, and in the social capital, which leads to stability and enhances the economic activity. The main objectives of this paper are to analyze how much the entrepreneurial intentions are influenced by certain psycho-behavioral traits of the individual (creativity, locus of control, need for achievement and risk taking propensity) and to evaluate the influence of different types of education on these intentions, in order to see if the entrepreneurial education significantly influences the entrepreneurial intentions of Romanian young people. By analyzing the specialized literature, we have developed six research hypothesis that were tested on a sample of 600 students from the undergraduate (bachelor) and master programs within the large state universities of Romania who have entrepreneurship courses in the content of their curricula, with the help of a questionnaire-based survey. Depending on the research hypothesis, several data analysis approaches were used, including Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and General Linear Models (GLM). The main results of this study clearly illustrate that the need for achievement and the propensity towards taking risks play an important role in determining the entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, graduates of the high schools with an entrepreneurial field are less inclined to engage in businesses compared to the graduates of the high schools that offer general education.

“…A inovatividade se refere à busca pela empresa em inovar, por meio de novas ideias, processos, produtos e serviços (Lumpkin & Dess, 1996;Freitas, Martens, Boissin, & Behr, 2012). Em outras palavras, a inovatividade representa a atitude inovadora das empresas (Altinay et al, 2012). A aceitação ao risco tende a ser inerente ao modelo capitalista.…”

“…No entanto, as empresas podem variar quanto ao nível de aceitação ao risco que elas estão dispostas a enfrentar (Lumpkin & Dess, 1996). Nesse sentido, ela representa o quanto uma empresa está inclinada a arriscar por meio de investimentos a fim de obter os resultados esperados (Freitas et al, 2012;Altinay et al, 2012). Já a proatividade se refere ao quanto essa empresa busca ser líder ao invés de ser seguidora, descobrindo e explorando novas oportunidades (Lumpkin & Dess, 1996), identificando e antecipando tendências (Freitas et al, 2012).…”
