CORTEZ, Pedro Afonso  y  VEIGA, Heila Magali da Silva. Personal characteristics of entrepreneurs: clarifying concepts of recent literature (2010-2015). Est. Inter. Psicol. [online]. 2018, vol.9, n.3, pp. 58-79. ISSN 2236-6407.

The study of entrepreneurs’ personal characteristics has interdisciplinary influence. The diversity of contributions associates with literature’s confusion and conceptual overlap. In this sense, the goal of the study was clarifying the concepts related to entrepreneurs’ personal characteristics present in recent literature. Therefore, we analyzed six concepts used more than once in Portuguese and English articles retrieved through CAPES portal considering the publication period from 2010 to 2015. The results confirmed the theoretical and conceptual difficulties in the literature, specifically related to the constructs of entrepreneurial competencies, entrepreneur profile, entrepreneurial personality, entrepreneurial potential and entrepreneurial performance. Only the concept of entrepreneurial attitude is clearly distinguishable from the others. Thus, we suggest future studies involving other concepts about the phenomenon to improve the structure of knowledge about entrepreneurs’ personal characteristics.

Palabras clave : entrepreneurship; attitudes; personality traits; entrepreneurial profile; literature review.
