    FLEXIBILIDADE COGNITIVA E AUTOEFICÁCIA EMPREENDEDORA: UM ESTUDO SOBRE SUA INFLUÊNCIA NO COMPORTAMENTO EMPREENDEDOR DOS LÍDERES INTERNACIONAIS

    DOI 10.14210/alcance.v29n1(Jan/Abr).p20-34
    Data de publicação: 24/02/2022
    Objetivo: Analisar a influência da Flexibilidade Cognitiva e Autoeficácia Empreendedora no comportamento empreendedor dos líderes internacionais representantes de jovens empreendedores da Aliança de Jovens Empreendedores (G20 YEA - Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance) e da Federação Ibero-americana de Jovens Empresários (FIJE). Metodologia: O estudo tem abordagem mista, com uso de técnicas qualitativas, com aplicação de Análise Qualitativa Comparativa de Conjuntos Difusos (fsQCA ) e quantitativas, com comparação de parâmetros em amostras diferentes. Foram estudados vinte e dois líderes mundiais representantes de jovens empreendedores da G20 YEA e FIJE. Principais resultados: Os resultados da análise comparativa apontaram que a presença de Flexibilidade Cognitiva (FC) e iniciativa de criação de negócios próprios é uma configuração necessária para a Autoeficácia Empreendedora (AE). Líderes que iniciaram seus próprios negócios possuiam escores mais altos de FC e AE quando comparados com líderes que assumiram negócios familiares. Originalidade e implicações teóricas do estudo: Apesar do empreendedorismo ser estudado em diversas áreas do conhecimento, desde a economia à psicologia (Baron, & Shane, 2005), existem lacunas no que diz respeito à compreensão dos processos cognitivos subjacentes ao comportamento empreendedor. Este estudo busca contribuir com a construção de uma nova compreensão para o desenvolvimento de um modelo teórico integrativo, que reconheça o impacto das funções executivas, nomeadamente a flexibilidade cognitiva, como essencial no comportamento empreendedor.
