A Emprendimiento social como estrategia de desarrollo: influencia escolar y familiar en iniciativa emprendedora en universitarios

Abstract

Social entrepreneurship has become an essential strategy for economic and social development, particularly in the university context where life projects, professional training, and values oriented toward social impact converge. Both family and educational institutions influence the development of entrepreneurial competencies; however, there are gaps in the literature regarding how these contexts interact. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the influence of school and family environments on the social entrepreneurial initiative of students at the Instituto Tecnológico de Sonora. The research adopted a mixed-methods approach, descriptive and exploratory in nature, applying a validated 32-item questionnaire to 383 students selected through non-probabilistic convenience sampling. Data analysis was conducted using statistical techniques with SPSS for the quantitative part and thematic categorization for qualitative information Results indicate that students consider success to be largely dependent on social and economic conditions; they identify institutional support such as scholarships, fairs, and contests, although with limited visibility; they recognize teachers’ guidance and the availability of infrastructure, although not all students access these resources. It is concluded that, although the institution promotes entrepreneurship, there are still areas for improvement in communication, accessibility, and systematic support to consolidate a true entrepreneurial culture.
