Valores personales y comportamiento planificado en la intención de emprendimiento: Un análisis en estudiantes universitarios

Palabras clave: Comportamiento planificado, valores personales, intención de emprendimiento, actitudes, normas subjetivas, control percibido

Resumen

El presente estudio analiza la influencia conjunta de los componentes de la Teoría del Comportamiento Planificado (TPB) —actitud, normas subjetivas y autoeficacia percibida— y los valores personales sobre la intención de emprendimiento en estudiantes universitarios de una universidad pública en la región amazónica del Ecuador. A través de un enfoque cuantitativo, con un diseño transversal y la aplicación de modelos de ecuaciones estructurales (PLS-SEM), se recopilaron datos de 297 estudiantes. Los resultados evidencian que la actitud y la autoeficacia percibida tienen una influencia positiva y significativa sobre la intención emprendedora, mientras que las normas subjetivas y los valores personales no presentan una relación significativa. Estos hallazgos aportan a la literatura al cuestionar la universalidad de la TPB en contextos emergentes y ponen en evidencia la necesidad de revisar el rol contextual de los valores. A nivel práctico, se sugiere que los programas de fomento al emprendimiento universitario prioricen el fortalecimiento de la autoeficacia y las actitudes emprendedoras mediante experiencias vivenciales y formación aplicada.
