Abstract

The objective of the research was to determine the relationship between individual factors and the recognition of opportunities of entrepreneurs in the district of Villa el Salvador. A quantitative, correlational, non-experimental cross-sectional design was applied. The non-probabilistic and convenience sample consisted of 178 entrepreneurs. The instrument used was designed by Nikraftar & Hosseini, (2016) who applied it to entrepreneurs in Iran. The results present a Spearman's Rho of 0.696 and a p value of 0.000, which indicates a moderately positive and highly significant correlation between the variables, thus confirming all the proposed hypotheses. Likewise, it was found that the individual factors of the entrepreneurs of the Villa el Salvador district are at a developing level, who need to strengthen their self-efficacy, their prior knowledge, their social network and entrepreneurial alertness to improve the ability to recognize opportunities.
