Abstract: The changes triggered by the economic crisis did not spare our country either since 2009. Its effects, with impact on the social, economic, ecological, technological and political level, reflected also on each and every individual. Less working places, available qualified staff, the diminishing purchasing power, wiser expenses, etc, were perceived by some people as luck of keeping a job beyond any compromise, while others considered them as opportunities. Some researchers associated this fact with personality (Covin & Slevin, 1989; Cromie, 2000; Johnson, 1990; Davidsson, 2000; Cromie & Johns; 1983; Brockhaus, 1980; Caird, 1991), others with personal values (Combs, Richards & Richards, 1976, apud Beukman, 2005; Hofmeister-Tóth & Simanyi, 2005), while others with the level of knowledge in the chosen entrepreneurial field or with the perception of opportunities. The present work aims at identifying options for the residents of the Western region of the country, under the effect of the economic crisis, for entrepreneurship as an opportunity or for maintaining the employee status from the perspective of their personality or their values, bearing in mind at the same time the reduced experience, of less than 25 years, that our country's residents have on the business market.
