Abstract

This research aimed to determine the existence of a relationship between social skills and entrepreneurial
attitude in students in the last grade of secondary school of an educational institution in Peru. For this
purpose, a quantitative study of a correlational level was carried out between two variables in a sample of
199 students of an educational institution in the city of Lima (Peru). The results indicated that the students
presented a low level of entrepreneurial attitude and social skills (59.6%) and (42.4%) respectively. In
addition, a high correlation was found between entrepreneurial attitude and social skills (0.759), this being
a significant relationship (p=0.000). It was concluded that a student who shows social performance will be
able to develop an entrepreneurial spirit. This is how education plays a fundamental role for the
development of entrepreneurial behavior within his/her socialization process.
