L'estudi de les intencions empresarials dels estudiants i els seus factors determinants és especialment rellevant per al desenvolupament dels programes d'educació, com també per al control d'aquests programes ja que permeten comprovar-ne l’efectivitat i l’impacte. Basant-nos en els arguments de la teoria de la conducta planificada d'Ajzen, s'ha usat un disseny longitudinal amb un grup de control per investigar l'impacte de la participació en el programa «Emprenedors», ofert per una la uUniversitat de Castella-la Manxa, amb el patrocini de les institucions regionals. La metodologia ha consistit que els participants han emplenat un qüestionari al final del curs i un qüestionari de seguiment sis mesos després a fi d’establir si l'efecte del curs s'havia mantingut o no després d'aquest període. Els resultats de l'estudi mostren que els participants en el programa, en finalitzar-lo, tenen nivells d'autoeficàcia empresarial superiors als dels individus del grup de control i que aquests nivells s'han mantingut en el temps. En el moment posterior també tenen més intenció emprenedora que els individus del grup de control. No obstant això, al cap de sis mesos, els participants han percebut més dificultats en l'entorn, cosa que ha reduït la factibilitat percebuda de l'emprenedoria com a opció professional. Malgrat això, la intenció emprenedora era superior que en el grup de control i s’incrementava en el temps pel que fa a la creativitat. Les conclusions i implicacions d'aquests resultats es plantegen en la secció final de l'article., The study of students’ entrepreneurial intentions and the influencing factors is especially relevant for the development of education programmes, as is the monitoring of those programmes to assess whether they are effective and what their impact has been. Building upon insights from Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behaviour, a control-group longitudinal design was used to investigate the impact of participation in the “Entrepreneurs” programme, offered by the University of Castilla-La Mancha, in Spain, with the sponsorship of regional institutions. The methodology involved the completion of a questionnaire at the end of the course and a follow-up questionnaire six months later to establish if the effect of the course had been maintained or not after this period. The study found that participants in the programme had higher levels of self-efficacy at the end of it, and that these levels had been maintained over time. They also displayed greater entrepreneurial intention after a period of time than non-participants. However, after six months, the participants perceived greater difficulties in the environment, thus reducing the feasibility of entrepreneurship as a career option. Despite this, entrepreneurial intention was higher than for the control group and increased over time with regard to creativity. The conclusions and implications of these results are discussed in the final section of this paper., El estudio de las intenciones empresariales de los estudiantes y sus factores determinantes es especialmente relevante para el desarrollo de los programas de educación, así como para el control de estos programas pues permiten comprobar su efectividad e impacto.

También tienen mayor intención emprendedora en el momento posterior que los individuos del grupo de control. Sin embargo, después de seis meses, los participantes perciben mayores dificultades en el entorno y reducen la factibilidad percibida del emprendimiento como opción profesional. A pesar de ello, la intención emprendedora era mayor que para el grupo de control y se incrementaba en el tiempo con respecto a la creatividad.

O presente artigo tem como objetivo identificar as associações existentes entre as dimensões da atitude empreendedora no contexto dos empreendedores sociais. Caracterizou-se como um estudo descritivo com uma abordagem quantitativa. A população foi composta por 36 gestores das organizações sociais cadastradas na Organização Parceiros Voluntários. Utilizou-se como instrumento para a coleta de dados, um questionário estruturado, aplicado aos gestores das organizações participantes. Para análise dos dados, foram realizadas análises estatísticas descritivas e a matriz de correlação de pearson. Os principais resultados apontaram um predomínio do sexo feminino e como principal motivo para a escolha da atividade empreendedora, verificou-se a necessidade de promover a comunidade/pessoas necessitadas e a convivência com outro empreendedor. Os resultados evidenciaram correlações positivas, de moderadas a altas, entre a atitude empreendedora e suas dimensões, com destaque para a dimensão social, onde os resultados foram expressivos em praticamente todos os indicadores.

International audience; The study was motivated by the realities of climate change and its effect on the human life. The study argues that environmental problems are caused by human attitude toward environment and such attitude affects environmental behavior. In order to support such theory, the literature and studies were reviewed. The data gathered through questionnaires and 400 students were given the questionnaires. The descriptive correlational study was utilized to determine the extent of the correlation between environmental attitude and environmental behavior of the Senior High School Students of Divine Word Colleges in Region I, Philippines. The study revealed that anthropocentric attitude and eco-centric attitude were found to be dominant among students. However, the correlation was found only between eco-centric attitude and environmental behavior along environmental movement activism and personal conservation behavior, while anthropocentric and human dominance over nature attitude do not correlate to the environmental behavior. Keywords: Environmental behavior, environmental attitude, anthropocentric, eco-centric, human dominance over nature, environmental movement activism, personal conservation behavior. Chapter I: The Problem Rationale Environmental problems have become a serious concern of all human being on the planet. Why is it becoming serious concern? People have seen the connection between the environmental disaster and quality of human life. Quality of life has been affected by climate change. EPA (2016) mentions several impacts of climate change such as the increase of warming temperatures, changes in precipitation, and increases in the frequency of extreme weather events and the rising of sea levels. As a result, these affect the food that we eat, water we drink, the air we breathe, and the weather we experience. WHO (2016) estimated and predicted that between 2030 and 2050, the climate change is expected to cause approximately 250,000 additional deaths per year from malnutrition, diarrhea and heat stress. Such prediction causes alarm and immediate action. It cannot be ignored but it has to be solved but the question here is how can we solve it
