The Impact

Although entrepreneurial intention has been widely studied using cognitive models, we still lack entrepreneurial vocation and, therefore, lack disruptive innovations. Entrepreneurship scholars have some understanding of the reasons underlying this weakness, although there is much room for improvement in our learning concerning how to promote entrepreneurship among university students, especially in the transformed context of digital technologies. This paper focuses on the early stages of start-up, and in particular seeks to evaluate what role social and psychological factors play in the development of entrepreneurial intentions. Drawing on network theory, we consider the impact of social networks on entrepreneurial intention. Specifically, we analyze the influence of two types of social networks: face-to-face and online social networks, with the latter proving especially important in digital transformations. In addition, based on affective congruency theory, we relate affect with entrepreneurial intention. Particularly, we evaluate the influence of positive and negative dispositional affectivity on the formation of entrepreneurial intentions. Finally, since affect and emotions can also be related with social relationships, we analyze whether dispositional affectivities influence entrepreneurial intention through the mediation effect of social networks. Using structural equation modeling, we confirm the impact of both online and face-to-face social networks, as well as positive dispositional affectivity on entrepreneurial intention for 589 higher education students in Spain. However, negative dispositional affectivity is not seen to influence entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, both face-to-face and online social networks are influenced by positive dispositional affectivity. Moreover, these two types of networks can even partially mediate the relationship between positive dispositional affectivity and entrepreneurial intention. Positive dispositional affectivity can thus influence entrepreneurial intention in two different ways: directly and indirectly through both face-to-face and online social networks. This study provides further insights and adds to the literature on affect, social networks, and entrepreneurial intention. From a broader perspective, we also contribute to the literature on disruptive innovations by explaining how the development of entrepreneurial intentions would have positive consequences for university students vis-à-vis achieving these disruptive innovations.

The aim of the article was to outline the function of social networks as a communication platform, demonstrates the real level of information impact in social networks on Ukrainians. The following aim based on such kind of resources: the analysis of scientific literature, the coexistence of existing points of view, questionnaires (to study the point of view of Ukrainians regarding the impact of social networks). Attention is paid to studying the functions of social networks from the point of view of expanding the spectrum of influence to the audience, the possibility of creating a page of leadership opinion (for example was used the «Facebook» which is very popular network in Ukraine). As a result, 1500 Ukrainians questionnaires were conducted during the survey, demonstrated the level of users’ trust in information resources. We have seen that this level is quite high and sometimes exceeds the trust of traditional media.

<p><strong>Resumen</strong></p><p>En Chile, la legislación solo tipifica el acoso sexual —tipo particular de violencia sexual— en el ámbito laboral. Por lo mismo, las agresiones suscitadas en espacios académicos aún son vagamente visibilizadas. En este contexto, aquí se presenta un estudio cualitativo realizado en la Región de Valparaíso, tras las movilizaciones feministas lideradas por estudiantes universitarias en mayo de 2018. En él, se examinan los discursos orales de víctimas de actos de acoso sexual perpetrados en las principales universidades de la zona. A partir de entrevistas, se analiza el impacto que estos hechos tienen en las víctimas, las dificultades legales que enfrentan las potenciales denunciantes y el papel que desempeñan las redes de apoyo como mecanismos de resistencia ante este tipo de agresiones.</p><p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>In Chile, current legislation doesn’t refer to sexual harassment in higher education contexts. Consequently, sexual assaults occurred in the academic sphere become a vaguely visible phenomenon. In this scenario, the researchers present a qualitative case studio developed in the Valparaíso Region, before the feminist mobilizations from 2018 —a series of student demonstrations led by young women college students. Specifically, in this studio, the researchers analyze oral discourses by women who had been victims of sexual harassment episodes perpetrated by students and scholars at the main universities of the region. Through several interviews, the researchers examine the impact of sexual harassment in the lives of the victims, the main obstacles that these victims find in their search of justice, and the role that social networks play as safety zones for women resistance.</p><p> </p>
