falhas, empreendedor, superação, afetividade, cogniçãoResumo
Objetivo do estudo: Essa pesquisa tem como objetivo investigar quais são as estratégias utilizadas pelos empreendedores para enfrentar as falhas e quais são as motivações para superá-las.
Metodologia/abordagem: O método utilizado é o qualitativo de natureza descritiva e exploratória. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de entrevistas com 15 empreendedores brasileiros de diferentes setores da economia. Para a análise dos dados, adotou-se o método da análise de conteúdo, considerando a perspectiva de Bardin (2016).
Originalidade/Relevância: Não obstante a literatura sobre empreendedorismo ainda apresentar escassez de estudos que exploram as estratégias de enfrentamento das falhas, também não se observa aspectos comportamentais afetivos e cognitivos relacionados ao tema (Eager et al., 2019; Srinivasan et al., 2023).
Principais resultados: Os resultados demonstraram que os empreendedores se apoiam em comportamentos afetivos e cognitivos como estratégias de enfrentamento e superação das falhas.
Contribuições teóricas/metodológicas: O propósito desta pesquisa é contribuir para a literatura, enriquecendo o entendimento sobre como a afetividade e a cognição influenciam o comportamento empreendedor nas estratégias de enfrentamento de falhas, além de sugerir as razões, motivações e comportamentos que os ajudam a superá-las.
Contribuições sociais: Identificar estratégias de superação das falhas dos empreendedores, promovendo resiliência e aprendizado contínuo, fortalecendo a sustentabilidade dos negócios e o bem-estar familiar.
