Abstract(s)
A presente investigação trata de averiguar o impacto das atitudes empreendedoras no contexto associativo. O Capital Empreendedor é considerado na literatura como um impulsionador tanto do Desempenho Individual como Organizacional; e como o Desempenho Individual é considerado como um antecedente do Desempenho Organizacional, cria-se assim um triângulo de interacções que até à data ainda não foi estudado; muito menos no contexto associativo, um universo com bastante território fértil para os investigadores na área. Utilizou-se uma abordagem quantitativa, com design correlacional, abrangendo uma amostra de 108 participantes de diversas associações de estudantes do ensino superior. Utilizou-se a técnica de Análise de Equações Estruturais, da qual se criou um modelo de medida com um ajustamento bom, e do qual foi possível verificar que o CE tem um impacto positivo tanto no Desempenho Individual como no Desempenho Organizacional, apesar de não se ter verificado qualquer ligação entre estas duas últimas variáveis. Assim, este estudo apresenta-se com profundas implicações teóricas, visto fazer a ponte entre o universo das empresas e o universo das associações, mas também práticas, ao demonstrar a importância do desenvolvimento e treino de empreendedorismo no mundo associativo.
ABSTRACT: The present investigation aims to investigate the impact of entrepreneurship in the midst of associations. Corporate Entrepreneurship (CE) is considered a catalyst for the development of both Individual and Organizational Performance; and since Individual Performance is considered an antecedent for Organizational Performance, it is possible to draw a triangle of interactions which hasn’t been studied so far – even less so in associations, an universe with much to be explored. A quantitative perspective with correlational design was used, with a sample of 108 subjects from multiple student’s associations. Analysis of Structural Equations was used, from which was created a measurement model with good adjustement. The relationship between CE and both types of Performance was confirmed, even though no significant effect was found for the Individual – Organizational Performance relationship. Therefore, the present study has significant theoretical implications since it bridges the gap between companies and associations, and also practical implications as it reveals the importance of entrepreneurship training and development in associations.
