The Unseen Hand: How Preferences and Traits Shape an Entrepreneur's Decisions
Keywords:
Entrepreneurial traits, experimental economics, decision-making, positional preferences, equitable sharing, profit maximization, TunisiaAbstract
This study used an experimental economics methodology with 176 students to link entrepreneurial personality traits, such as positional preferences, equitable sharing, and profit maximization, to their resource allocation decisions. The results of a multinomial logistic regression showed that variables like gender and education level significantly influence participants' choices. Furthermore, entrepreneurial traits, including coaching, decision-making, and risk aversion, had a statistically significant effect on the participants' entrepreneurial profile. The study thus fills a gap by linking these traits to decision-making processes while illustrating the complexity of this phenomenon.
