Resumen

Trabajo de revisión crítica

Los rasgos de personalidad, los factores organizacionales y los factores ambientales han sido estudiados por los investigadores como causas de la nueva empresa de éxito. Sin embargo, desde 1961 hasta 1990, la investigación sobre tales rasgos de los emprendedores encontró sólo efectos débiles (Ald ri ch y Wiedenma ye r, 1993 ) . Recientemente, un grupo creciente de investigadores, basados en la psicología, ha renovado el interés en las características de personalidad de los emprendedores como predictores de éxito al superar la anterior predilección en el estudio de rasgos tales como las competencias, la motivación, los conocimientos y la conducta. El objetivo principal de este trabajo es proporcionar una revisión y ofrecer una extensión teórica de la investigación sobre los factores sociales y psicológicos que influyen en la propensión individual a la creación de nuevas presas, y ofrecer sugerencias sobre la orientación futura de este tema.
