Coworking Spaces, Catalysts of Entrepreneurial Intention of Employees?
This article analyzes the influence of coworking spaces on the entrepreneurial intention of employees who work there. A quantitative study was carried out in France among 126 workers who frequent a coworking space. We test a conceptual model explaining entrepreneurial intention according to the spaces’ characteristics (contextual variables) and individual variables. Results show a significant effect of the presence of role models as well as the organization of workshops within coworking spaces, but also the importance of some individual variables on the entrepreneurial intention of employees.
