Previous issue date: 2010-09-10 / Entrepreneurs are individuals who can transform economic and social realities by promoting
development, so it became important tools in generating externalities in regions where they
operate. In Brazil, 59.9% of new ventures do not reach the fourth year of life, the mortality
rate of new ventures is high. The causes of mortality are numerous, and within the behavioral
aspects, one is the locus of control. This study determines the degree of association between
internal locus of control and achieving business success of entrepreneurs in Rio Grande do
Norte who participated in the workshop EMPRETEC. The approach that studies the behavior
entrepreneurs agreed that there are psychological characteristics associated with a set of
values, attitudes and needs that determine the behavior and induce the entrepreneur to achieve
success. Among these features is the locus of control, a skill that individuals must identify in
their actions, or lack of them, the causes of their successes and failures. The locus is external
when the individual attributes to factors outside themselves as causes of their results, and is
built in when you can identify the actions that led to success. We surveyed 223 entrepreneurs
statewide who answered the questionnaire for assessing the scale of locus of control, selfassessment
questionnaire of entrepreneurial characteristics of EMPRETEC and a
questionnaire assessing the business success. 71.9% were identified as having success.
Among the behavioral characteristics strongest in the group of entrepreneurs are setting goals
and commitment. Was found for locus of control mean value of 7.35, confidence interval
between 7.05 and 7.66. Showing that the locus of control group is predominantly internal. We
also found a correlation between the locus and commitment, between setting goals and
commitment; calculated risks and information search; search of information and commitment,
and between commitment and independence and self confidence. Dependence was not
identified among the set of features and business success, determining the absence of an ideal
profile. However, logistic regression significant association was found indicating that the
smaller the individual's locus of control increased the likelihood of it achieving business
success / Os empreendedores s?o indiv?duos que podem transformar realidades econ?micas e sociais
promovendo desenvolvimento, por isto tornaram-se pe?as importantes na gera??o de
externalidades nas regi?es onde atuam. No Brasil 59,9% dos novos empreendimentos n?o
chegam ao quarto ano de vida, esta taxa de mortalidade de novos empreendimentos ? alta. As
causas a mortalidade s?o in?meras, e dentro dos aspectos comportamentais, uma delas ? o
locus de controle. Este estudo determina o grau de associa??o entre o locus de controle
interno e a obten??o de efetividade empresarial em empreendedores do Rio Grande do Norte
que participaram do workshop EMPRETEC. A abordagem que estuda os comportamentos
empreendedores preconiza que existem caracter?sticas psicol?gicas associadas a um conjunto
de valores, atitudes e necessidades que determinam o comportamento e induzem o
empreendedor ? obten??o de efetividade. Dentre estas caracter?sticas est? o locus de controle,
capacidade que os indiv?duos t?m de identificar em suas a??es, ou na aus?ncia delas, as
causas de seus sucessos e fracassos. O locus ? externo quando o indiv?duo atribui a fatores
fora de si como causas de seus resultados, e ? interno quando consegue identificar dentro si as
a??es que o conduziram ao sucesso. Foram pesquisados 223 empreendedores em todo estado
que responderam o question?rio de avalia??o da escala do locus de controle, o question?rio de
autoavalia??o das caracter?sticas empreendedoras do EMPRETEC e um question?rio de
avalia??o da efetividade empresarial. 71,9% deles foram identificados como tendo
efetividade. Dentre as caracter?sticas comportamentais mais fortes no grupo de
empreendedores est?o o estabelecimento de metas e o comprometimento. Foi encontrado para
o locus de controle o valor m?dio de 7,35, com intervalo de confian?a entre 7,05 e 7,66.
Mostrando que o locus de controle do grupo ? predominantemente interno. Tamb?m foi
encontrada correla??o entre o locus e comprometimento; entre estabelecimento de metas e
comprometimento; correr riscos calculados e busca de informa??es; busca de informa??es e
comprometimento; e entre o comprometimento e independ?ncia e autoconfian?a. N?o foi
identificada depend?ncia entre o conjunto das caracter?sticas e a efetividade empresarial,
determinando assim a n?o exist?ncia de um perfil ideal. No entanto, atrav?s de regress?o
log?stica significante foi encontrada associa??o que indica que quanto menor o locus de
controle do individuo maior a probabilidade dele alcan?ar a efetividade empresarial
