Contexto: La intención emprendedora en estudiantes universitarios constituye un objeto de análisis significativo por su relación con la fundación de compañías y el progreso territorial. Objetivo: determinar la relación predictiva de cada estilo de toma de decisiones con la intención emprendedora en estudiantes de Administración de una universidad de la Amazonía peruana. Método: Investigación cuantitativa y estrategia asociativa con diseño predictivo transversal; con muestra probabilística de 235 estudiantes seleccionados por muestreo aleatorio simple, a los que se les aplicaron los instrumentos General Decision-Making Style y escala de intención emprendedora; cinco regresiones lineales simples con errores robustos HC3, bootstrap y corrección de Holm. Resultados: Descriptivamente, el estilo racional alcanzó 80% en nivel alto, el intuitivo 63.8%, y la intención emprendedora 73.2% en alto, sin casos bajos en la variable criterio, dentro de la muestra. Solo el estilo racional predijo significativamente la intención emprendedora (β=.648, R²=.420, p<.001); los demás estilos no resultaron significativos. Conclusiones: El estilo racional es el único predictor individual de la intención emprendedora en los estudiantes participantes en el estudio.
Background: Entrepreneurial intention among university students is a significant subject of analysis due to its connection to the founding of companies and regional development. Objective: To determine the predictive relationship between various decision-making styles and entrepreneurial intention among business administration students at a university in the Peruvian Amazon. Method: A quantitative study using an associative strategy with a cross-sectional predictive design. The sample consisted of 235 students selected via simple random sampling, who were assessed using the General Decision-Making Style inventory and an entrepreneurial intention scale. Data analysis involved five simple linear regressions, incorporating HC3 robust standard errors, bootstrapping, and the Holm correction. Results: Descriptively, 80% of the sample scored at a high level for the rational decision-making style, 63.8% for the intuitive style, and 73.2% for entrepreneurial intention; no students scored at a low level for the criterion variable. Only the rational decision-making style was a significant predictor of entrepreneurial intention (β = .648, R² = .420, p < .001); the other styles were not statistically significant. Conclusions: The rational style is the only individual predictor of entrepreneurial intention among the students participating in the study.
