autoeficacia emprendedora, capital psicologico, control del trabajo, empresarioResumen
Emprender implica identificar las oportunidades para crear y desarrollar proyectos o negocios, asumiendo riesgos y desafíos, y utilizando la creatividad y la innovación para alcanzar el éxito en un entorno empresarial. Los emprendedores son esenciales para impulsar la innovación, crear oportunidades laborales y estimular el crecimiento económico para promover y apoyar el espíritu empresarial. Este estudio tiene como objetivo investigar la relación entre el capital psicológico, la autoeficacia emprendedora y el efecto moderador del control en el trabajo en una muestra por disponibilidad de 110 empresarios en Puerto Rico entre las edades de 21 a 76 años. Los resultados indicaron una correlación positiva significativa entre la autoeficacia emprendedora y el capital psicológico, lo que sugiere que las personas con niveles más altos de autoeficacia empresarial tienen más probabilidades de tener un mayor capital psicológico. Los resultados mostraron que existe un efecto moderador significativo del control sobre la relación entre autoeficacia emprendedora y capital psicológico. Los efectos condicionales observados revelaron que el efecto moderador comienza a manifestarse cuando aumenta el control del trabajo. Cuando los empresarios tienen más control del trabajo, potencian su capacidad para alcanzar las metas, y refuerzan la resiliencia, el optimismo, la esperanza y la autoeficacia.
