We develop and test an overarching model of entrepreneurial intention that includes profit, social impact, and innovation as the three main drivers of entrepreneurial behavior. A holistic model is developed to identify separately the generic intention to be a self-employed entrepreneur from the associated intention to be a specific type of entrepreneur. The latter is revealed by using a conjoint experiment to reveal the individual's relative preferences for profit, social impact, and innovation outcomes. Using fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis we provide insights into individuals' motivations for different types of entrepreneurial careers and for their multiple pathways to the same entrepreneurial type.

我们开发并测试了企业家意图的总体模型，其中包括利润，社会影响力和创新作为企业家行为的三个主要驱动力。建立了一个整体模型，以分别识别出作为个体经营者的一般意图与作为特定类型的企业家的相关意图。后者是通过联合实验揭示个人对利润，社会影响和创新成果的相对偏好而揭示的。使用模糊集定性比较分析，我们可以洞悉个人对不同类型的创业职业的动机以及他们通往同一类型的多种途径的动机。
