Abstract

Abstract The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is a young, oil-rich country, where national youth display a clear preference for public sector employment. Growing youth unemployment reinforces the importance of non-government employment, including entrepreneurship. This study investigates UAE national youth intentions toward entrepreneurship through the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Entrepreneurial Intention Questionnaire (EIQ). Analysis (N = 544) identifies the direct influence of attitude and perceived behavioral control and indirect influence of subjective norms on entrepreneurship intention. Results also examine several demographic variables and highlight the potential importance of family and social groups in promoting entrepreneurial intentions in this emerging country context.
创业意向与阿联酋青年:新兴国家背景下创业意向的独特影响因素
阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)是一个年轻的,石油资源丰富的国家,在那里,全国青年表现出对公共部门就业的明显偏好。不断增长的青年失业凸显了包括创业在内的非政府就业的重要性。本研究透过计划行为理论与创业意向问卷(EIQ)来调查阿联酋国家青年的创业意向。分析(N = 544)发现态度和感知行为控制对创业意向有直接影响,主观规范对创业意向有间接影响。结果还审查了几个人口变量,并强调了家庭和社会团体在促进这个新兴国家背景下的创业意图方面的潜在重要性。
