O entrincheiramento organizacional e a intenção empreendedora do indivíduo: estudo junto às startups e empresas de tecnologia de informação do estado do Rio Grande do Sul

Abstract

The aim of this dissertation is to investigate the relationships established between the entrepreneurial intentions of the individual and their level of organizational entrenchment with the startups and companies of Information Technology in the State of Rio Grande do Sul. The research also aims to understand how the connection of the individual and the organization in which he works, can influence the entrepreneurial intentions of these individuals. This study is characterized as explanatory, through the survey method, with a questionnaire as a research tool. The questionnaire uses two models already consolidated in the academic scope: the organizational entrenchment model of Rodrigues and Bastos (2015) and the entrepreneurial intention model of Kristiansen and Indarti (2004), besides collecting personal information and data about the current and occupational trajectory of the study participants. Thus, it was identified that the connection of the dimensions of the organizational entrenchment is related to 5.4% with the entrepreneurial intention, that is, part of the profile of entrepreneurial intention is affected by the fact that the individual is entrenched in the organization in which he works, especially regarding the individual's perception of the alternatives limitation, demonstrating that when perceiving a desired professional in the labor market, taking into account the disconnection of the current organization, the individual enhances his entrepreneurial capacity. As an overall, 61.45% of respondents say that they intend to undertake and present an organizational midfielder. It was also identified that individuals who are in charge of their family income and who have children, believe that their attitudes determine success in their executions, contrary to the other respondents. Respondents who have 11 to 20 years of work in the labor market say they have more structure to start their enterprise than the others. This means that family responsibility and professional experience are items that generate in individuals a difference in the perception about the opportunity to undertake and also in the relationship that they establish with the organization where they act. In addition to this, it was possible to verify that the organizational entrenchment levels present a higher average next to the cities outside the state capital. Having said that, it can be explained by the difference in the supply of employment between the metropolitan region and the rest of the state, much more because of population size and consequent development. This study brought a different perspective from the ones worked in the organizational line and the studies of entrepreneurial intention, since it indicates that the connection that the individual has with the company that he works, does not relate directly to those that intend to undertake. The results obtained here can be used as a basis for new studies with thematic ones, in which there is a deepening of interfering points.
