Abstract

The data comes from a survey applied to 1027 scientists working in Chile. The survey was originally distributed to 5571 scientists. The research was carried out with the purpose of explaining the Entrepreneurial intention of the scientists. The survey consisted of 35 items in total, structured in five sections: (a) academic background and previous entrepreneurship (14 items), (b) Entrepreneurial intention (6 items), (c) Attitude towards entrepreneurship (5 items), (d) subjective social perception of support towards Entrepreneurship (3 items) and Control of Perceived Behavior towards Entrepreneurship (6 items). The data are linked to the theoretical model proposed in Acuña_Duran, Oyanedel y Pradenas-Wilson (2021).
