“…Some employees are "pushed" towards entrepreneurship due to their frustration at working in a certain organisation, to job dissatisfaction, to the lack of promotion, to the non-existence of challenges and opportunities, to the need for more job flexibility, to the imbalance between work and leisure, and to the need to earn a better income (Minniti, Bygrave, & Autio, 2006). Some studies have used the Robichaud et al (2001Robichaud et al ( , 2008Robichaud et al ( , 2010 scale to evaluate the entrepreneurial motivation, in particular those carried out by Barba-Sánchez and Atienza-Sahuquillo (2012) in Spain on a sample of entrepreneurs and by Cachon, Codina, EcciusWellmann, McGraw and Myers (2013) on a transcultural sample from the USA, Canada and Mexico. None of these studies adapted the Robichaud et al (2001Robichaud et al ( , 2008Robichaud et al ( , 2010 scale because their objectives meant that this was unnecessary.…”

Título: Adaptación al español de una escala de motivación emprendedora. Resumen: Este estudio sigue el marco teórico propuesto por Robichaud sobre motivación emprendedora. El objetivo fue adaptar la escala original francesa de 17 ítems al español y analizar sus propiedades psicométricas. Los participantes del presente estudio fueron 981 empleados españoles (46.5% hombres y 53.5% mujeres). Después de llevar a cabo el análisis factorial exploratorio y el ESEM (RMSEA = .06; CFI = .95 y TLI = .95), se determinó una estructura compuesta de tres factores: Seguridad de la familia (α =.82), Independencia y autonomía (α =.83) y Motivaciones intrínse-cas (α =.77). Los tres factores muestran una fiabilidad adecuada. También se encuentran evidencias de validez respecto a una serie de correlatos externos y varias escalas que hacen alusión a la adicción al trabajo, la irritación y el burnout. La presente escala puede resultar adecuada para identificar adecuadamente la motivación emprendedora. Palabras clave: motivación emprendedora; escalas; validez; empleo.Abstract: This study follows the theoretical framework put forward by Robichaud on entrepreneurial motivation. The objective was to adapt the original French scale of 17 items into Spanish and to analyze its psychometric properties. The participants in the present study were 981 Spanish employees (46.5 % men and 53.5 % women). After carrying out exploratory factor analyses and ESEM (RMSEA = .06; CFI = .95 and TLI = .95), revealed a structure comprised of three factors: Family security (α =.82), Independence and autonomy (α =.83), and Intrinsic motivations (α =.77). These three factors displayed adequate reliability. We also found evidence of validity with regard to a series of external correlates and various scales that have to do with workaholism, irritation and burnout. The present scale may prove useful for adequately identifying entrepreneurial motivation.

“…The rate is considered higher particularly for graduates. It reaches 30.2% 4 . According to Léger-Jarniou, changing the behavior and attitudes of young engineers require a whole new pedagogical approach to provide the necessary knowledge and to facilitate the learning situation in order to enable them to hold the necessary experience and to solve any training problem that may arise later.…”

“…More than opening a business, the entrepreneurial action is directly related to aspects of personality [cognitive development, adaptation, traits, interests, impulses, self-concept, capacity and emotional patterns (see, Schultz & Schultz, 2006)] and human values [guide for actions and cognitive expression of basic needs (see, Gouveia et al, 2014)] (Littunen, 2000;Miner, 2000;Kristiansen & Indarti, 2004;Santos, 2008;Alves & Bornia, 2011;Brandstätter, 2011;Abebe, 2012;Barba-Sánchez & Atienza-Sahuquillo, 2012;Karabey, 2012;Minello & Scherer, 2012;Mathieu & St-Jean, 2013).…”

Resumo: Pesquisas no mundo vêm mostrando que indivíduos empreendedores compartilham características Palavras-chave: Potencial empreendedor; Escala; Validação fatorial confirmatória; Validade de critério.Abstract: Researches worldwide show that entrepreneurs share idiosyncratic characteristics compared with the rest of the population, which have stimulated specific studies on measurement of this behaviour. Among the most relevant and recent measurement approaches to the area of entrepreneurship in Brazil, there was the Entrepreneurial Potential Scale. Nevertheless, the original presentation of this instrument failed to find psychometric properties of stricter validation, and the related studies are not yet sufficient. This article aimed to check evidence of confirmatory factor validity, parameters of dimensional structure and criterion validity (predictive efficacy) of the Entrepreneurial Potential Scale. Two studies were conducted for this purpose. Study 1 (one) included the participation of 455 university students to carry out the construct validity through confirmatory factor analysis and multidimensional scaling (MDS). In turn, study 2 (two) included the participation of 654 college students and 148 entrepreneurs to perform the criterion validity by Student's t test and effect size (Cohen's d). Results show that the Entrepreneurial Potential Scale presents a factorial design with good quality adjustment and high levels of precision, indicating that it is a tool which converges reliably to predict the entrepreneurial behaviour.
