There is a significant gap in employment between people with and without disabilities, despite the importance of work in achieving their independence, autonomy, and integration into society. There are several reasons that cause this gap to exist, such as: people with disabilities feel less prepared, there is a stigma or discrimination to hire people with disabilities and the incompatibility of schedules due to medical issues, among others. That is why entrepreneurship emerges as a good option for the integration of people with disabilities in our society, improves their confidence and promotes some of the Sustainable Development Goals set out in the 2030 Agenda. According to existing literature, people with disabilities have certain virtues such as resilience and motivation that favor entrepreneurship. Thus, the purpose of this study is to provide new insights into the variables that determine the entrepreneurial intention of people with disabilities. In order to respond to this objective, an online questionnaire was given to people with disabilities between the ages of 16 and 65 years, residing in diverse regions of Spain. To analyze the results, this study uses Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) in a sample of 235 people with disabilities in Spain using as a framework Krueger´s improved model, adding resilience as a new variable. The results reflect the importance of resilience, the subjective norm, and perceived collective efficacy in the entrepreneurial processes of people with disabilities. This study contributes to the underdeveloped literature on entrepreneurship in people with disabilities; it provides insights that can have a practical effect on the reduction of the inequality gap between people with and without disabilities making recommendations to clinicians, vocational psychologists, and policymakers; also, this study would advance the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals 8 and 10.
尽管工作对于实现残疾人的独立、自主和融入社会至关重要，但残疾人和非残疾人之间的就业差距仍然存在。造成这种差距的原因有很多，例如：残疾人感到准备不足，存在对雇佣残疾人的污名化或歧视，以及由于医疗问题导致的工作时间不兼容等。这就是为什么创业对于残疾人融入我们的社会来说是一个很好的选择，它可以提高他们的信心，并促进 2030 年议程中设定的一些可持续发展目标的实现。根据现有文献，残疾人具有韧性和动力等美德，这有利于创业。因此，本研究的目的是提供新的见解，了解决定残疾人创业意图的变量。为了回应这一目标，本研究向年龄在 16 至 65 岁之间、居住在西班牙不同地区的残疾人发放了在线问卷。为了分析结果，本研究在西班牙的 235 名残疾人样本中使用偏最小二乘结构方程建模（PLS-SEM），以 Krueger 改进的模型为框架，增加韧性作为新变量。结果反映了韧性、主观规范和感知集体效能在残疾人创业过程中的重要性。本研究有助于补充残疾人创业领域的文献不足，为减少残疾人和非残疾人之间的不平等差距提供了有实际影响的见解，为临床医生、职业心理学家和政策制定者提供建议；此外，本研究还将推进可持续发展目标 8 和 10 的实现。
