Abstract

Despite an abundant literature on the subject of entrepreneurship, the determinants of entrepreneurship are not yet fully understood. A number of factors have been put forward, including the individual characteristics of the entrepreneur, as well as his social environment, in particular the family environment. This article is part of the research on the influence of the family environment on the perceptions and behaviours of individuals. It aims to know if and to what extent the family's business background (the family's experience in the field of entrepreneurship) plays a role in the entrepreneurial attitudes and capabilities of entrepreneurs in the Algerian context. To do this, we carried out a field survey (using the questionnaire technique) on a sample of entrepreneurs active in the Bejaia region (Algeria). The data obtained from the survey are analyzed using descriptive statistics including the Chi-square statistic (Chi-2). The results obtained show the existence of significant differences between entrepreneurs from families with an business background and those from families without an business background. Thess results lead us to conclude that the family's business background has an influence on the attitudes and capabilities of entrepreneurs.
