Coworkings sociais como apoio ao empreendedorismo: proposição de definição do construto e abordagem de investigação

Abstract

The changes that have occurred in recent years have impacted various spheres of society and this includes work formats: the home office, telecommuting, intermittent work and Coworking can be taken as examples. Coworkings, shared work environments, are being introduced in Brazil through economically favored regions. Thus, mechanisms that manage to adhere to the existing gaps that support the underprivileged social strata and enter into unconquered spaces can open alternative conditions for entrepreneurship. In light of this, the objective of this paper is to specify the domain of the construct Social Coworking (CW Social) and its support for entrepreneurship, as well as to present an appropriate research approach. Through the foundation in concepts of Collaborative Economy, Networks, Entrepreneurship and geoprocessing techniques it was possible to present ten propositions that help in the development of a definition of Social Coworkings that dialogue with the traditional literature and interconnect to directions that solve the challenges encountered, especially in Brazil.
