Entrepreneurship Studies and Influences

This study aimed to test how entrepreneurial behavioural characteristics (EBC) develop in university students as described by McClelland (1963;1987). The methodological procedures tested McClelland’s perspective (1963;1987) with a sample of 137 university students. Data collection was carried out through a closed questionnaire with fifty-five questions using the 10-point Likert scale, applied by sending an email with the link to the form to respondents. As a result, it was verified that the entrepreneurial behavioural characteristics of the realization and planning categories are well developed and the entrepreneurial behavioural characteristics of the power category are still in development.
