34 <strong>RESPONSIBLE</strong> <strong>ENTREPRENEURSHIP</strong><br />

Figure 2: Difference in level of self-determination based on the status<br />

EA = Entrepreneur in activity, EP = Potential entrepreneur, EN = Students considering an entrepreneurial<br />

career, ET = Students who wish to pursue further studies in higher education, S = Students who prefer a paid<br />

professional career, IN = Undecided students.<br />

For the dimensions of resistance to uncertainty, we observed that entrepreneurs (active<br />

and potential) differed significantly from all groups of students. We also noted that students<br />

considering an entrepreneurial career (EN) differed significantly from the other groups of students.<br />

These data confirm our hypothesis, H2. The socio-economic context and uncertainties<br />

apply to all entrepreneurs, and in a lesser extent, students who wish to become entrepreneur<br />

used their determination in order to move forward. Then, the individual participates in a planning<br />

activity that mobilizes the knowledge, motivation, and opinions that he/she has in relation<br />

to the proposed activity. Thus, it entails feeling free to undertake the project and the<br />

knowledge that he/she will be able to go beyond the obstacles that may stand in the way of<br />

his/her projects. There was also a significant difference between students seeking an<br />

entrepreneurial career and other students. In other words, students who wished to become<br />

entrepreneurs saw their future with greater confidence than did other students. With reference<br />

to the ability to control the action, the results were similar, except for students who wished<br />

to pursue studies, who were more similar to the group of entrepreneurs in a broad sense (EP,<br />

EA and EN). Their decision to continue their education seemed to give the impression that<br />

they wished to control and improve their future.
