Resumen
Artículo de publicación SCOPUS - WOS The research aims to examine the relationships between the constructs of entrepreneurial
intention according to the theory of planned behavior (TPB) model and subjective well-being (SW).
The model used considers the works proposed by Liñán and Chen and Oyanedel, Vargas, and
Paez, and a questionnaire was applied to 1043 people in an urban population of the three main
regions of Chile using multivariate statistical methods for its analysis (structural equation models).
The proposed hypotheses are that subjective well-being towards entrepreneurship has a direct and
positive effect on entrepreneurial intention (H1), personal attitude towards entrepreneurship has a
direct and positive effect on entrepreneurial intention (H2), perceived behavioral control towards
entrepreneurship has a direct and positive effect on entrepreneurial intention (H3), and subjective
norm towards entrepreneurship has a direct and positive effect on entrepreneurial intention (H4).
The results indicate that subjective well-being on entrepreneurial intention shows indirect effects
mediated by subjective norm, contributing to the theoretical development concerning well-being
incidence on entrepreneurial behavior, providing theoretical elements that can serve as a basis for
further strengthening the understanding of the relationships between personal well-being, economic
growth, and the harmonious relationship with the environment.
