Abstract

Abstract Objective: The objective of this study was to understand the personal and inter- personal pressures entrepreneurial individuals feel to pursue opportunities out- side their home country. Methodology: Entrepreneurs in Mexico were given a survey regarding personal and interpersonal pressures to out migrate. Findings: Exploratory factor analysis showed three valid factors for outmigration: personal preference, social pressure, and perception of opportunities. Value Added: The instrument developed offers an overall Outmigration Tendency (OT) score which can provide valuable insight into why entrepreneurs choose to emigrate. This appears to be the first instrument to measure outmigration pressure and to be validated internationally. Recommendations: The tendency score resulting from the survey can help researchers and policy makers understand the likelihood of a worker leaving his/her country to seek work opportunities elsewhere.
企业外迁意愿:一个有效的测度
摘要目的:本研究的目的是了解创业个体在追求国外机会时所感受到的个人压力和人际压力。方法:对墨西哥的企业家进行了一项关于移民的个人和人际压力的调查。结果:探索性因素分析显示,个人偏好、社会压力和对机会的感知是影响外迁的三个有效因素。附加值:开发的工具提供了一个整体的外迁倾向(OT)得分,可以为企业家选择移民的原因提供有价值的见解。这似乎是衡量外移压力并在国际上得到验证的第一个工具。建议:调查得出的趋势分数可以帮助研究人员和政策制定者了解工人离开他/她的国家到其他地方寻找工作机会的可能性。
