Resumen

Este estudio investiga y evalúa los factores que influyen en la motivación de las personas emprendedoras y explora los programas de apoyo del gobierno. Se utiliza un enfoque cuantitativo para este propósito, recopilando datos de personas empresarias posibles
de miembros de la familia. En el estudio se utilizan dos factores influyentes que afectan la motivación de las personas emprendedoras, que son la mentoría y el apoyo financiero. Este estudio se basa en la teoría de las expectativas para investigar el impacto en la motivación de las personas emprendedoras. Se utilizó un enfoque de muestreo aleatorio simple en la población objetivo y se probaron los resultados del estudio para determinar su validez. Los hallazgos muestran que la existencia de mentoría y apoyo financiero accesible tienen una relación favorable y un impacto notable en la motivación de las personas emprendedoras, especialmente en las primeras etapas del proyecto. El estudio indica que las ideas y los objetivos de las personas emprendedoras no se lograrían sin la financiación adecuada. Las personas emprendedoras posibles pueden no ser capaces de iniciar su propio negocio y enfrentar riesgos en ausencia de apoyo financiero. Es fundamental mejorar la comprensión de las personas emprendedoras potenciales, especialmente en las primeras etapas, sobre cómo esos esfuerzos sustanciales podrían beneficiar sus trayectorias empresariales. El estudio sugiere centrarse en los programas de mentoría y apoyo financiero para estimular a las personas emprendedoras potenciales en contextos similares al de Bahréin. Esta medida puede atraer y aumentar la inversión en el mercado y contribuir al crecimiento económico del país.
