| description | Entrepreneurship has contributed to the social, economic development. A wave of entrepreneurship has been witnessed in emerging countries, including Vietnam. It is considered as one of the most important concerns of the Government to boost the economy. The aims of this thesis are to understand the motivations for Vietnamese to become entrepreneurs, the relationship between entrepreneurship with self-employment as a career choice, and the contribution to job creation. The study is based on the push and pull effects theory and entrepreneurship and its relationship with self-employment and job creation. The main method in the study is a qualitative approach through conducting four semi-structured interviews with Vietnamese entrepreneurs from different business areas. The key finding is that Vietnamese take into consideration both push and pull effects to become entrepreneurs. However, pull effects are more considerable than the push effects. Entrepreneurs own a high work effort, and independent attitudes, whereas the attitudes to risks are varied from different entrepreneurs. Furthermore, they are all aware of the role of entrepreneurial activities in job creation. |

A wave of entrepreneurship has been witnessed in emerging countries, including Vietnam. It is considered as one of the most important concerns of the Government to boost the economy. The aims of this thesis are to understand the motivations for Vietnamese to become entrepreneurs, the relationship between entrepreneurship with self-employment as a career choice, and the contribution to job creation.

Furthermore, they are all aware of the role of entrepreneurial activities in job creation. Entreprenörskap bidrar till såväl social- som ekonomisk utveckling och en våg av entreprenörskap har iakttagits i utvecklingsländer – bland annat i Vietnam. Att uppmuntra och stödja entreprenörskap ses av den vietnamesiska staten som avgörande för en positiv utveckling av samhällsekonomin. Målen med föreliggande studie är att analysera de motivationsfaktorer som gör att vietnameser väljer att bli entreprenörer, varför de väljer att bli entreprenörer, samt hur detta bidrar till skapandet av arbetstillfällen. Studien baseras på teori rörande ’push and pull’effekter, entreprenörskap och dess samband med egenföretagande och skapande av arbetstillfällen. Den kvalitativa studien genomfördes genom fyra semistrukturerade intervjuer med vietnamesiska entreprenörer från olika samhällssektorer. Den huvudsakliga slutsatsen är att de vietnamesiska entreprenörerna tar hänsyn både till ’push-’ och ’pull’-effekter då de strävar efter att bli entreprenörer. Av dessa effekter utgör den senare en större påverkansfaktor än den förra. Entreprenörerna kännetecknas av en vilja att arbeta hårt och därmed vara oberoende, men inställningen till risktagande skiljer sig mellan de olika entreprenörerna. Slutligen framkom att de studerade entreprenörerna var väl medvetna om sambandet mellan entreprenöriella aktiviteter och skapande av arbetstillfällen.
