【 摘 要 】

Tasks undertaken by nascent entrepreneurs are oftentimes distant from their main scope of interest and skills. The question emerges whether the perception of those tasks infl uences the motivational processes of entrepreneurs and their work satisfaction. In this empirical study of nascent Polish entrepreneurs, we were able to observe that indeed in some cases the perception of the performed tasks moderates the relation between entrepreneurs’ motivation and work satisfaction. For example, among those entrepreneurs who assessed the educational value of performed tasks highly, the relation between intrinsic motivation and work satisfaction was positive. Those fi ndings are of signifi cant importance when it comes to supporting entrepreneurship activity. It is advised to be aware of factors infl uencing entrepreneurs’ motivation to work in order to sustain their productivity and engagement.
