Abstract

GARCIA-CABRERA, Antonia Mercedes; DENIZ-DENIZ, María de la Cruz  and  CUELLAR-MOLINA, Deybbi G. Emotional intelligence and entrepreneurship: possible enquiry lines. Cuad. Adm. [online]. 2015, vol.28, n.51, pp.65-101. ISSN 0120-3592.  https://doi.org/10.11144/Javeriana.cao28-51.ieep.

Many research studies have attempted to identify the antecedents of entrepreneurial behavior and have tried to find them on the basis of rational criteria -Economic theory and resource-based view- that have overlooked the existence of non-rational criteria which are also behind this behavior. This work studies literature on emotional intelligence (EI) to explain why some individuals take entrepreneurial decisions and finds that research in this field is scarce, scattered, fragmented, and, in some cases, mixed or contradictory. In order to make progress in this line of research, empirical research supported on linear designs and based on more reliable triangular EI measuring techniques must be carried out.

Keywords : emotional intelligence; entrepreneurship; personality traits.
