Abstract

This article analyzes motivation as one of the components of the formation of human capital. In this work we analyze the cultural and historical, psychological, economic foundations, factors of the formation of motivation for rural (including Siberian) entrepreneurship, on the basis of an interdisciplinary approach. The authors proceed from the assumption that farming, as an entrepreneurial activity, is a way of agricultural life and thought. The farm lifestyle, due to the historical traditions of agriculture and the people mentality, largely determines the stereotypes of economic behavior in the modern period of time. The study examined the mentality of the Russian people, affecting their labor motivation and entrepreneurial activity. The historical material demonstrates the prevailing motives of rural entrepreneurship in Siberia. A comparative description of the role and motives of rural entrepreneurs at the turn of the 20th-21st centuries is given. Some psychological components of the structure of motivation and their impact on entrepreneurial activity are identified. Conclusions obtained by the authors of the study can be useful in making managerial decisions related to the formation and development of human capital in rural areas, stimulating agricultural entrepreneurship.
