AN ASSESSMENT OF INTENTIONS AND ATTITUDES AMONG ENTREPRENEURS OF GENERATION ALPHA

Abstract

This article presents the results of an analysis of entrepreneurial intentions and attitudes among children of Generation Alpha (born after 2010). The study is based on a diagnostic survey of 252 primary school students in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship. The results show that even though students, as a rule, have business ideas and positively assess the creation of their own business, they do not often think about creating their own business in the future and are less likely to associate their future with entrepreneurship. The analysis shows that there is a connection between entrepreneurial intentions and attitudes and the socio-demographic profile of respondents. The results can be used to develop new approaches to the organization of entrepreneurial education in primary schools, and to raise children’s awareness of the prospects of running their own businesses.
