Résumé
À partir d’une modélisation structurelle, cette recherche expérimentale menée sur 276 étudiants permet de mesurer l’impact des modèles de rôles entrepreneuriaux sur leur auto-efficacité et leur intention de créer une entreprise. Nos résultats confirment que l’exposition des participants au message d’un ancien étudiant ayant réussi dans sa carrière entrepreneuriale engendre un éveil émotionnel positif et une attitude favorable envers le message, améliorant l’auto-efficacité et l’intention entrepreneuriale des participants. Pour certains participants, les modèles d’échec sont également efficaces d’un point de vue persuasif, renforçant la relation entre auto-efficacité et intention entrepreneuriale. Par ailleurs, cette recherche démontre que le cadrage du message et l’encouragement verbal d’un membre de l’équipe pédagogique avant l’exposition au message exercent un effet modérateur et parfois paradoxal sur ces résultats selon le sexe de l’étudiant. Nous discutons ces effets en relativisant l’intervention des membres de l’équipe pédagogique dans l’impact des modèles de rôles entrepreneuriaux.

Abstract
Building on structural modeling, this experimental research conducted on 276 students measures the impact of entrepreneurial role models on self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Our findings indicate that students’ exposure to a message presenting a role model testimonial generates a positive emotional arousal and a favorable attitude towards the message, which consequently strengthens the relationship between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Our results demonstrate that for some participants negative models also generate a positive impact, reinforcing self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, our research highlight the fact that message framing and oral encouragement of one of the members of the pedagogical team before message exposure exerts a somehow paradoxical moderating effect on these results, which varies according to the participants’ gender. We discuss these outcomes and we highlight the limited role of pedagogical staff in the impact of entrepreneurial role models.
Keywords:

Resumen
A partir de un modelo estructural, hicimos una investigación experimental con 276 estudiantes para medir el impacto de los modelos de conducta en la autoeficacia y la intención de crear un negocio. Nuestros resultados confirman que la exposición de los participantes a un mensaje de un ex estudiante que tuvo éxito en su carrera empresarial mejora la autoeficacia percibida y la intención emprendedora de los participantes gracias a un desvelo emocional positivo y una actitud favorable hacia el mensaje. Para algunos participantes, los modelos de fracaso son también eficaces dentro de una perspectiva persuasiva, el fortalecimiento de la relación entre la autoeficacia percibida y la intención emprendedora. Además, esta investigación muestra que la formulación del mensaje y el estímulo verbal de un miembro del personal docente antes de la exposición del mensaje y, a veces ejercen un efecto moderador y a veces paradójico sobre estos resultados según el sexo del estudiante. Se discuten estos efectos relativizando la intervención de los miembros del equipo docente en el impacto de modelos de conducta empresariales.
Palabras clave:
