Entrepreneurial intention modeling using hierarchical multiple regression

Abstract

Abstract. The goal of this study is to identify the contribution of effectuation dimensions to the predictive power of the entrepreneurial intention model over and above that which can be accounted for by other predictors selected and confirmed in previous studies. As is often the case in social and behavioral studies, some variables are likely to be highly correlated with each other. Therefore, the relative amount of variance in the criterion variable explained by each of the predictors depends on several factors such as the order of variable entry and sample specifics. The results show the modest predictive power of two dimensions of effectuation prior to the introduction of the theory of planned behavior elements. The article highlights the main advantages of applying hierarchical regression in social sciences as well as in the specific context of entrepreneurial intention formation, and addresses some of the potential pitfalls that this type of analysis entails.

How effectual will you be? Development and validation of a scale in higher education

“…Another future line of research that would also fill a gap in the literature on entrepreneurship is the study of the moderating role of "effectual propensity" and "causal propensity" in entrepreneurial intentions (Arranz, Arroyabe, & Fdez. de Arroyabe, 2019;Dutta et al, 2015;Jeger, Sušanj, & Mijoč, 2014;Nowiński et al, 2019;Padilla-Angulo, 2019;Valliere, , 2015.…”

Factors Influencing Entrepreneurial Intention among Foreigners in Kazakhstan

“…This study followed the process-oriented approach and applied the well-established TPB model [57] for two reasons: (1) many researchers believe that the focal point of entrepreneurial intention (EI) research should shift from content-oriented or the psychological profile of entrepreneurs to the entrepreneurial process or event as it takes place within a multidimensional social context [59,154]; and (2) the intention-based models predict behavior better than single variables [90]; therefore, they yield more predictive power and improve post hoc explanations of entrepreneurial behavior [60,73,155].…”

Attitudes towards work, organizational values, and students’ sociodemographic characteristics as predictors of entrepreneurial orientation

“…In researching entrepreneurial intentions, the greatest priority has been put on explaining the construct itself and examining the factors of its development (Ajzen, 1991;Bird, 1988;Jakopec et al, 2013;Jeger et al, 2014;Liñ an et al, 2008;Shapero & Sokol, 1982;Su sanj et al, 2015). The authors, implicitly or explicitly, have advocated the importance of studying predictive factors of entrepreneurial intentions, with scientific knowledge as the basis for the development of entrepreneurial socialization of young people -through formal education and informal social influences.…”
