Abstract

Purpose: to investigate the entrepreneurial motivations and individual beliefs of former convicts from prisons in Ceará regarding opening their own business, according to the theory of planned behavior (TPB). Method/Approach: a qualitative research was carried out with eleven former convicts from the Ceará prison system. The data collected through semi-structured interviews were analyzed by Atlas-ti software, using content analysis and pattern matching techniques. Results: the former convicts expressed their intention to open their own business based on three motivations: necessity, opportunity, and personal achievement. The entrepreneurial intention was influenced by behavioral and normative beliefs, and perceived control. Theoretical/Methodological contributions: this research promotes and expands the discussion on entrepreneurship after a period of deprivation of liberty, using the TPB to identify beliefs that precede the entrepreneurial intention. Relevance/Originality: the findings oppose the dichotomous classification of entrepreneurial motivation described by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. The study endorses the important influence of social reference in building normative beliefs, which were perceived as facilitators of behavioral intention, being often confused with beliefs of perceived control. Social contributions: to recognize the low employability of former convicts as a management problem, which can foster a debate on strategies that seek to minimize these negative impacts. This study invites a discuss on joint efforts between public authorities, the population and academia, to mitigate prejudice against former offenders by society.
