neutral  Margaret Schroeder: Query term is a noun; this is an adjective. It only works with rewording as George says. But why bother, when "entrepreneurs" fits perfectly?

the word is entrepreneur in English BUT you can\'t make a phrase with that in this context here

they are moved to action by a spirit of entrepreneurship

the gerund will not work here...

empuje= driven

vocaciön= ship, added to the end of entrepreneurs

that\'s the meaning

note to Manual

If you post ONE word for ANOTHER word, it does not show that you are rewriting sentence. Therefore, it looks wrong. If you plan to rewrite the sentence, which is often necessary, you have to explain. You can\'t just throw out a word without sentence context because it does not make any sense.

cheers
