ENTREPRENEURIAL PERCEPTIONS AND INTENTIONS: THE COMPARATIVE STUDY BETWEEN POLAND AND THAILAND
Journal Title: Polish Journal of Management Studies - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 1
Abstract
The purposes of this study are to investigate a range of perceptions towards entrepreneurial intention (EI), and to compare those perceptions between Poland and Thailand. Poland and Thailand are chosen to analyze since both countries have similar aspects in term of entrepreneurial intentions rate, and are in efficiency-driven economy. EI is one of the most significant predictor of business creation. Based on Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) data in 2015, combined 5,000 samples from Poland (n=2,000) and Thailand (n=3,000) are analyzed by logistic regression to investigate the effect of perceptions on EI. Independent variables include individual’s perceived self-efficiency, the ability to recognize business opportunities, entrepreneurial network, fear of failure as well as a range of socio-cultural perceptions. The results show that perceptions of self efficacy, opportunity recognition, and entrepreneurial networking have significant effect on EI in both countries. Interestingly, the impact of fear of failure is found to influence on EI for Poland, but not for Thailand. On the one hand, high level of status and public media attention on successful entrepreneurs are found to influence on EI for Thailand, but not for Poland.<br/><br/>
