An Attitude Approach to the Prediction of Entrepreneurship

Abstract: Attitude is presented as a better approach to the description of entrepreneurs than either personality characteristics or demographics. The development and validation of the Entrepreneurial Attitude Orientation (EAO) scale are explained. Sixty-three undergraduates were used in developing and establishing the test-retest reliability of the EAO. Fifty-four entrepreneurs and fifty-seven non-entrepreneurs served as known groups in establishing the discriminant validity of the EAO. There was a significant differenc… Show more

“…Demographic factors are added in our scale because in the literature these variables have been used to define a profile of a typical entrepreneur (Robinson et al 1991).

“…Zur Erfassung der Innovationsorientierung mit den beiden Bereichen "kreative Ideen" und "innovatives Handeln" wurde eine entsprechende Skala aus der EAO (Robinson et al 1991) übersetzt und modifiziert. Zur Erfassung der intrapreneurspezifischen Sozialkompetenz mit den drei Bereichen "Teamfähigkeit", "Durchsetzungskompetenz" und "Führungsinteresse" wurde eine Skala aus aktuellen Studien (Frank/Korunka/Lueger 2002a, 2002b weiterentwickelt.…”
