Resumo

Purpose: This work aims to apply the General measure of Enterprising Tendency test of Health Units managers in Primary Care and assess possible correlations between the entrepreneurial characteristics and the collective activities conducted by the units. Methodology: Utilizing a primary, cross-sectional, and exploratory approach, the General Measure of Enterprising Tendency test was employed, evaluating five entrepreneurial attributes: need for achievement, need for autonomy, creative tendency, calculated risk-taking, and locus of control. Results: Managers exhibited intrapreneurial strengths but showed reduced autonomy and creativity. A significant number have a nursing background. There's a marked positive correlation between entrepreneurial tendencies and community services of-fered. Practical/managerial implications: This pioneering study delves into the entrepreneurial traits of HU managers, highlighting the importance of promoting entrepreneurship for better healthcare outcomes. Social implications: Managers' entrepreneurial tendencies have a positive effect on community services. These managers in-novatively reshape healthcare, benefiting broader society. Recognizing their aptitude can spur creativity, culminating in spe-cialized community solutions and elevated healthcare standards.
