Abstract

The focus of the study was based on time as a belief of mastery and as an integral value to entrepreneurial work. The temporality of the daily practices from the entrepreneurs was verified, showing that the daily work time does not have chronological barriers beyond the requirements of the clients. The methods of using time (appropriation) are faced according to what were called the sub-times of time. These sub-times determined the clusters, wich formed by family time; productive time; leisure time and non family social time, allowed to generate a time distribution model different from the continuous current of the third of the working day plus two thirds of free time. This time mastery was taken as a degree of freedom for these subjects, where it could be seen as a mastery dimension. Entrepreuners from Rancagua mold time according to their perception, independently their load of the schedule. Entrepreneurship means appropriating time and managing it as a resource. This is an idea of entrepreneurs, wich in practice corresponds to a belief rooted in the culture of entrepreneurship in Rancagua.
