dc.description.abstract | Extending the growing literature on the role of grit in different life domains, this research
explores the relationship between grit and involvement in entrepreneurship. The research
highlights the role of personal income and satisfaction with one’s current financial
situation as moderators of the relationship between grit and entrepreneurial behavior.
Using a large representative sample of Spanish young adults and controlling for a
number of potential confounding variables, we find that grit is modestly negatively
related to the probability of involvement in entrepreneurship. As predicted, however, this
relationship is qualified by both income and satisfaction with current financial situation,
though in opposite directions and more weakly for satisfaction with financial status.
Gritty individuals with higher levels of income are more prone to become entrepreneurs
than gritty individuals with lower levels of income. Gritty individuals with lower levels of
satisfaction with their financial situation are more likely to set up a business or become
self-employed. | es_ES |
