Индивидуальный социальный капитал предпринимателя
In a paper of N.A. Trifonova and S.A. Bryushkov an estimation of entrepreneur individual social capital based on the theoretical
analysis and usage of regression analysis is given.The current research hypothesized that individual social capital facilitates the implementation of one’s intention to start a business. The research samples were drawn from a sample of 2061 adult respondents: a sub-sample of 269 adults who stated their intention to start their own business during the next two years (‘intenders’) and a matching sub-sample of 270 who said they did not intend to do so (‘non-intenders’). The study shows that the ‘intenders’ possessed greater individual social capital. These resources had a positive indirect impact (through increased perceived behavioural control and attitude) on their intention to start their own business.
