Abstract

The work analyzed the influence of entrepreneurial characteristics (entrepreneurial self-efficacy, entrepreneurial intention anda capacity for innovation) on the organizacional performance of incubated companies in Santa Catarina. The research was descriptive using a quantitative method. The data analysis adopted the structural equation modeling and the partial least squares adjustment technique (SEM/PLS). The four research hypotheses were accepted. The associations of entrepreneurial self-efficacy with entrepreneurial intent and with the capacity for innovation stood out, being in both cases positive and very significant. The links between entrepreneurial intent and the capacity for innovation with organizacional performance also proved to be significant. However, its significance was less. The results adhered to the model of Chell (2008), allowing to affirm that the psychological, sociological and economic components were interrelated when considering the entrepreneurial personality. It was concluded that the study of the actions of the entrepreneurs must be carried out from a multidimensional perspective.
