20.500.12556/DKUM-95551 Can Machiavellianism and money intentions influence entrepreneurial intention? Ali lahko makiavelizem in denarne namere vplivajo na podjetniške namere? Background and purpose: The purpose of this research is to examine how Machiavellianism and the desire for money can influence entrepreneurial intentions. It could be assumed that the desire for money and Machiavellian tendencies can develop the desire for success in people and eventually entrepreneurial intention. Methodology: Respondents were surveyed using a questionnaire. Four hundred students were from three faculties at two universities in Serbia responded the questionnaire. The study utilized Smart PLS software. Results: It was shown that there is a statistically significant positive impact of Machiavellianism and money intention on entrepreneurial intentions. Money intention is also a mediator in the relationship between Machiavellianism and entrepreneurial intentions. The theoretical contribution of the research is that these influences on entrepreneurial intentions have not been sufficiently examined so far, especially the influence of money intention. The practical significance of the research is the observation of the possibility that people who have a high level of Machiavellianism and money intention can be identified, understood, and systematically directed towards entrepreneurship. Conclusion: Although the observed characteristics can be considered negative, people who possess them also possess entrepreneurial potential, and can create social good. These motives are not desirable, but such people can be useful for society: it is certainly better to spend energy on entrepreneurial ventures and further development of their own company, than on something else, less useful, or even destructive. Ozadje in namen: Namen naše raziskave je preučiti, kako lahko makiavelizem in želja po denarju vplivata na podjetniške namere. Lahko bi domnevali, da lahko želja po denarju in makiavelistična nagnjenja pri ljudeh razvijejo željo po uspehu in sčasoma podjetniško namero. Metodologija: Zbiranje podatkov je potekalo z anketnim vprašalnikom. Anketiranih je bilo štiristo študentov na treh fakultetah dveh univerz v Srbiji. Študija je uporabila programsko opremo Smart PLS. Rezultati: Pokazalo se je, da obstaja statistično značilen pozitiven vpliv makiavelizma in denarne namere na podjetniške namere. Denarni namen je tudi posrednik v razmerju med makiavelizmom in podjetniškimi nameni. Teoretični prispevek raziskave je, da ti vplivi na podjetniške namere doslej še niso bili dovolj raziskani, še posebej vpliv denarne namere. Praktični pomen raziskave je opazovanje možnosti, da se osebe z visoko stopnjo makiavelizma in denarne namere prepoznajo, razumejo in načrtno usmerjajo v podjetništvo. Zaključek: Čeprav opazovane lastnosti lahko štejemo za negativne, imajo ljudje, ki le-te posedujejo, tudi podjetniški potencial in lahko ustvarjajo družbeno dobro. Obravnavani motivi niso zaželeni, so pa takšni ljudje lahko koristni za družbo: vsekakor je bolje energijo porabiti za podjetniške podvige in nadaljnji razvoj lastnega podjetja, kot za kaj drugega, manj koristnega ali celo uničujočega.
