Intrapersonal Factors Effects on Professional Orientation and Environmen-tal Representations

Intrapersonal factor significantly affected the representation of own environment, in line with literature findings. Relational fluidity showed a positive impact on the representation of the Territory of belonging. With regard to the relationship between actual project and territory support we found that if context analysis had a negative effect on perception of territory as supportive, project involvement showed instead a positive effect. Intrapersonal factor significantly predicted personal goals too. Project involvement showed a significant positive effect on preference for a permanent employment and on intention to contribute to territory development whereas negatively predict entrepreneur intentions. Coping efficacy instead significantly predicted a selfemployment orientation. If commitment to a specific project showed to perform its motivational function with regard to territory development on the other end coping efficacy predicted a self-employment orientation.
