Abstract
This article investigates entrepreneurial spin-offs as a significant managerial phenomenon and examines the influence of individual characteristics on the success of corporate spin-offs in the Tunisian context. Based on a questionnaire survey conducted among 50 spin-off entrepreneurs, the study operationalizes key personal variables and empirically tests their effects on spin-off performance. The findings aim to provide employees in both public and private organizations with a clear and structured understanding of the spin-off process, while identifying the individual factors that spin-off founders are required to develop in order to enhance the likelihood of entrepreneurial success.
Keywords: Spin offs, human capital, social capital
