“…Economic consideration has been the major motive for people to become entrepreneurs. Research evidence confi rms that the economic considerations have been the major motivation for women to take up entrepreneurial careers (Das, 1999;Khanka, 1990).

This article presents the fi ndings of a study on entrepreneurial motivation based on a sample of 243 fi rst-generation entrepreneurs in Assam in North-East India. The results clearly showed that the entrepreneurs were primarily motivated by the need for economic achievement, personal growth, autonomy and recognition. The desire to contribute to the community was not found to be an important reason to become an entrepreneur. No signifi cant difference was found in the motivations of men and women entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurial motivation also changed in the light of entrepreneurial experience. The most interesting fi nding was dramatic changes in autonomy and power motives moving down from third rank to the last (sixth) rank pursuant to entrepreneurial experience over time, implying a change in the role of entrepreneurs from doers to implementers as their enterprises grew. S.S. Khanka is Professor (HRM) at the National Institute of Financial Management, Faridabad.

“…As empreendedoras de mercados de luxo se encaixaram, de forma geral, na classificação criada por Pastel (como citado em Das, 1999) que traz o conceito de "empreendedoras criadoras", que criam empresas a partir da própria motivação e coragem em busca da concretização de um ideal. Não foram mencionadas durante as entrevistas motivações ligadas a necessidades financeiras, necessidade de um trabalho com carga horária flexível para cuidar de filhos pequenos ou qualquer outra situação externa desfavorável.…”

Resumo: O número de mulheres empreendedoras brasileiras tem apresentado notável crescimento nas últimas décadas. Este artigo objetiva compreender alguns aspectos subjetivos do trabalho das mulheres empreendedoras do mercado de luxo. Foram realizadas entrevistas individuais com quatro empreendedoras do mercado de luxo escolhidas por meio da amostragem em bola de neve. Como instrumento de coleta de dados utilizou-se um roteiro semiestruturado elaborado com base em quatro categorias de análise definidas previamente, sendo elas: organização do trabalho, sentido do trabalho, vivências de prazer e vivências de sofrimento. As sessões foram gravadas, transcritas e analisadas utilizando como técnica a análise de conteúdo de Bardin (1977). O sentido do trabalho realizado pelas empreendedoras de mercado de luxo está diretamente relacionado aos sentimentos de prazer, gratidão, realização e paixão pelo que fazem. O trabalho destas empreendedoras envolve criar condições para proporcionar plena satisfação aos seus clientes e a necessidade de sustentar relacionamentos saudáveis e rentáveis.

“…Vijaya and Kamalanabhan (1998) found the values placed on innovativeness, independence, outstanding performance and respect for work as significant motivational characteristics in entrepreneurs. Research evidence confirms that economic consideration is a major motive for people to become entrepreneurs (Das, 1999;Khanka, 1990Khanka, , 2009; and entrepreneurial motivation changes from economic to noneconomic pursuant to entrepreneurial experience (Khanka, 2009). Earlier research (for example, Brockhaus, 1982;Cooper, 1973Cooper, , 1986Shapero, 1972;Susbauer, 1972) indicates that a push (or negative pushes) from their place of previous employment often forces potential entrepreneurs into becoming entrepreneurs.…”

Despite numerous research studies the theme of ‘Why, when and how some people (entrepreneurs) and not others discover, evaluate and exploit entrepreneurial opportunities?’ still needs intensive inquiry. Entrepreneurial performance is influenced by both intrinsic individual and extrinsic environment factors. Earlier research indicates that a wide range of motives, personal traits, psychological characteristics and self-efficacy components influence the attitudes, intentions and behaviours of entrepreneurs. However, despite existence of favourable factors, a potential entrepreneur might decide not to exploit entrepreneurial opportunity; certain people act differently from others in exactly the same situation. Earlier researchers, while using a variety of lenses, suggested a variety of frameworks and countless propositions. Despite, the unified, comprehensive, and largely acceptable conceptualizations could not be evolved so far. In such a situation, more efforts in the direction of making an extensive review or meta-analysis and developing a more unified conceptualization are required. Here, a genuine attempt has been made to synthesize the outcomes of the surfeit of earlier researches so as to present the emerging hypothesized propositions and a simple framework of entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial competencies. The outcomes of such an attempt provide a concrete base for more meaningful and useful further research as well as for setting up an agenda of entrepreneurial training for the future.
