Abstract

Des motivations par nécessité et par opportunité aux comportements des entrepreneurs ZOUMBA Nongainéba Benjamin Université Paris-Est, IRG (EA 2354) nongaineba-benjamin.zoumba@u-pec.fr Résumé : Cet article propose une analyse dynamique des motivations et comportements des entrepreneurs dits de nécessité et d'opportunité. L'objectif est de comprendre la pertinence des motivations (nécessité et opportunité) pour rendre compte des comportements. La littérature sur les motivations et les comportements des entrepreneurs de nécessité et d'opportunité est alors mobilisée sans chercher pour autant à élaborer un cadre théorique stabilisé eu égard à l'objectif du papier. Nous nous appuyons sur une étude longitudinale qualitative de deux cas d'entrepreneurs en phase de démarrage. Les données collectées mensuellement pendant une année ont été codées sur NVivo 11 puis analysées selon le contenu thématique. Les résultats montrent d'abord que l'état et la nature des motivations sont dynamiques. Ils montrent ensuite que les comportements sont aussi dynamiques. La recherche remet donc en cause les recherches prédisant les comportements des entrepreneurs de nécessité et d'opportunité en se basant sur les motivations initiales. Elle indique la nécessité d'une délimitation temporelle des recherches sur les processus entrepreneuriaux en général et celles sur les motivations et les comportements en particulier. Ainsi, nous proposons des pistes, notamment conceptuelles et empiriques, en vue de rendre pertinemment compte de l'entrepreneuriat.
