Learning Objectives
The study of entrepreneurial behavior has become one of the fastest growing fields in Social Sciences in general and Work & Organizational Psychology, in particular. Τhis course offers a comprehensive overview of current theories and research findings in the field of psychology of entrepreneurial behavior. In the context of this this seminar, entrepreneurial behavior is approached as a competence that is, as the capacity to act upon opportunities and ideas to create value for others. The value created can be social, cultural, or financial. As competence, entrepreneurial behavior applies to all spheres of life: from nurturing personal development, to actively participating in society, to (re)entering the job market as an employee or as a self-employed person, and also to starting up ventures (cultural, social or commercial). The seminar will place emphasis on the role of character strengths such as Creativity, Curiosity, Perseverance, Hope, Self-regulation etc, from the field of Positive Psychology.
This seminar is designed to achieve the following goals:
• To introduce major topics and subspecialties including critical theory and research finding that have defined the field of the psychology of entrepreneurial behavior
• To increase the understanding that entrepreneurial behavior creates value (not necessarily in economic terms)
• Help students increase the awareness of their hidden “entrepreneurial” potential through self-evaluation exercises
• Help students understand the importance of entrepreneurial behavior in the organizational context.
