Article Authors: Martin Mabunda Baluku, Richard Balikoowa, Edward Bantu, Kathleen Otto

Abstract

Based on self-determination theory, this study aims to examine the impact of satisfaction of basic psychological needs (BPNs) on the commitment to stay self- or salary-employed. Not only the entry of individuals but also their commitment to remain self-employed is important. Enterprises established by the self-employed can only survive longer if the owners are willing to continue in self-employment.
