The role of training based on entrepreneurial action in agro-entrepreneurial acculturation: Case of the training courses of the National Office of Agricultural Council.

Abstract

The ultimate purpose of this article is the highlighting of contributions offered by agricultural training based on entrepreneurial action to promote a basic point which is the development of the entrepreneurial spirit of traditional farmers. We will be interested in assessing whether action-entrepreneurial training has a positive impact on agro-entrepreneurial acculturation. To do this, we began our theoretical part by defining the key terms of our theme: entrepreneurial acculturation, entrepreneurial training and finally entrepreneurial action. Then, and after defining our research methodology, we began our empirical phase which is divided into two parts: a first part which focuses on our qualitative study which is in the form of a non-participant observation to evaluate existence of foundations of entrepreneurial action in training through the establishment of an evaluation sheet of agricultural training conducted by the National Office of Agricultural Council of the Marrakech-Safi region in Morocco and a second part in which we presented our study organization namely the National Office of the Council Agricultural of this same Moroccan region on the one hand, and administered a questionnaire to farmers benefiting from said training on the other hand. The next phase is the analysis of the results. These were analyzed using SPSS software according to a student's T-test for a single sample. The results of our study show that training based on the mechanisms and foundations of entrepreneurial action allows a stronger and meaningful impact on agro-entrepreneurial acculturation.
