ABSTRACT Based on qualitative research, this article aims to study the entrepreneurial motivation of 12 Moroccan engineers who resigned to start their own business. The results of the textual analysis of the case allow to identify a set of push and pull motivation factors. The most important result of this study is the emergence of a new factor, the "degree of utilization of skills" as an entrepreneurial motivation. Also, the results of our research show the importance of the "role model" and "entrepreneurial self efficacy" in the entrepreneurial decision. Given these results, several recommendations will be presented and the research track will be offered.
