Abstract


The field of entrepreneurship is progressing rapidly and is now assimilating considerable attention from several researchers, as it is considered the engine of economic growth. Entrepreneurs who constitute the hub of this phenomenon create wealth for themselves and others by creating jobs, and the intention to exercise entrepreneurship accompanied by a strong motivation to be an entrepreneur is necessary to achieve this goal. Young people, as they constitute the most active part of society, have a strong entrepreneurial potential and can contribute to the country's socio-economic development by developing innovative ideas and creating new projects. This article specifies the determinants of entrepreneurial intention and motivation among young people in Tetouan City, Morocco, by comparing men and women, especially regarding their internal and external motivating factors.

 

Le domaine de l'entrepreneuriat progresse rapidement et retient désormais l'attention de plusieurs chercheurs, car il est considéré comme le moteur de la croissance économique. Les entrepreneurs qui constituent le centre de ce phénomène créent de la richesse pour eux-mêmes et pour les autres en créant des emplois, et l'intention d'exercer l'entrepreneuriat accompagnée d'une forte motivation à être entrepreneur est nécessaire pour atteindre cet objectif. Les jeunes, qui constituent la partie la plus active de la société, ont un fort potentiel entrepreneurial et peuvent contribuer au développement socio-économique du pays en développant des idées innovantes et en créant de nouveaux projets. Cet article clarifie les déterminants de l'intention et de la motivation entrepreneuriales chez les jeunes de la ville de Tétouan, au Maroc, en comparant les hommes et les femmes, notamment en ce qui concerne leurs facteurs de motivation internes et externes.
