Abstract

Increasingly, researchers and policy makers across the globe explore the transformative role of entrepreneurship in the development process. What remains relatively under interrogated in this process is the issue of entrepreneurial intentions within the Caribbean region. Where entrepreneurial intentions play a pivotal role in future entrepreneurial activity, this area of research can provide useful insights for development policy and practice. Considering the above, three main objectives guide this paper. Firstly, we comparatively examine the entrepreneurial intentions drawn from adult populations across Barbados, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago. Secondly, we assess the relative importance of entrepreneurial skills, knowledge, and opportunity to entrepreneurial intentions. Thirdly, we also explore for possible socio[1]demographic variations (specifically based on sex, age, level of educational attainment, and type of current profession or career) in the levels of entrepreneurial intentions. To do this, we utilize available raw data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) survey for the Caribbean countries. We use this data set to test for the relative significance of key antecedent variables for understanding entrepreneurial intentions. Point to variability in the relationship between attitudinal factors, socio-demographic backgrounds, and entrepreneurial intentions between countries in the study. Implications for a more contextualized theorizations of entrepreneurial intentions are discussed.

加勒比地区的创业意向:前因与变异
全球各地的研究人员和决策者越来越多地探讨创业在发展进程中的变革作用。在这一过程中,加勒比地区的创业意向问题相对来说仍未得到充分探讨。创业意向对未来的创业活动起着举足轻重的作用,因此这一研究领域可以为发展政策和实践提供有益的启示。综上所述,本文有三个主要目标。首先,我们比较研究了巴巴多斯、牙买加和特立尼达和多巴哥成年人口的创业意愿。其次,我们评估了创业技能、知识和机会对创业意向的相对重要性。第三,我们还探讨了创业意愿水平可能存在的社会[1]人口差异(特别是基于性别、年龄、教育程度和当前专业或职业类型的差异)。为此,我们利用了《全球创业观察》(GEM)调查中有关加勒比海国家的原始数据。我们利用这组数据来检验关键先决变量对理解创业意向的相对重要性。指出研究中不同国家的态度因素、社会人口背景与创业意向之间的关系存在差异。我们还讨论了对创业意向进行更符合国情的理论分析的意义。
