Summary:In a society increasingly with more everyday stress and mental illnesses, the study of well-being becomes also increasingly relevant, and after Covid19 pandemic, in which people stayed for long periods indoors, also stimulate these studies in association with the real estate market. This work aims to study real estate agents and whether two entrepreneurs traits, such as Locus of Control and Individual Entrepreneurial Orientation are predictors and somehow are related to well-being. A quantitative methodology was adopted, with 213 answered surveys, of which 118 were Portuguese and 95 Brazilians. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 27 for Windows and Andrew F. Hayes' Macro for Windows called PROCESS, v 4.0. The study revealed that among the real estate agents, those who became part of the market by force of opportunity possess more internal Locus of Control in comparison to those who entered the market by force of necessity. Still on the first-mentioned, the study verified that they had higher levels of well-being, opportunity recognition and individual entrepreneurial orientation. It was also observed that Internal Locus of Control is a predictor to the other constructs, individual entrepreneurial orientation, capability to recognize opportunities and wellbeing, and Individual Entrepreneurial Orientation is also a predictor to Opportunity Recognition, but does not affect well-being and does not demonstrate any influence through moderation in the relation between Locus of Control and Well-Being or Locus of Control with Opportunity Recognition.
