“…Thus, individuals with higher tolerance for ambiguity are more likely to be entrepreneurial and have developed other skills associated with the entrepreneurial mindset (Hvide & Panos, 2014). Further, Teoh and Foo (1997) report that individuals with high levels of ambiguity tolerance actually perform better as entrepreneurs.…”

The purpose of our project was to explore the explicit or implicit engagement of faculty members across the curriculum in teaching the entrepreneurial mindset. We begin by defining entrepreneurship on a spectrum, recognizing the contextual nature and psychological development associated with entrepreneurial thinking. We developed a self-report survey containing a combination of quantitative and qualitative items to determine faculty member knowledge of entrepreneurship and their engagement in teaching elements of the entrepreneurial mindset. We surveyed the faculty at a primarily teaching university in the western United States. Sixty-four faculty members (~20%) with representation from across the disciplines completed our survey. We found constrained knowledge of entrepreneurship, indications of teaching elements of the entrepreneurial mindset, and approaches to assignments that were limited in scope for fostering entrepreneurial thinking. The implications of our research are a need for professional development to enhance faculty members’ knowledge of entrepreneurial thinking and support for instructional and content choices that could enhance student development of an entrepreneurial mindset.

“…Tolerance for ambiguity is said to facilitate creativity, entrepreneurship, and flexibility (Dollinger et al , 1995; Ghosh, 1994). In a literature review by Furnham and Marks (2013), high tolerance for ambiguity has been correlated with a number of organizational performance drivers, including entrepreneurial performance (Teoh and Foo, 1997), managerial performance (Chong, 1998), a firm’s financial and market performance (Westerberg et al , 1997). High tolerance for ambiguity has also been correlated with mindfulness (Ie et al , 2012), though it has not yet been correlated as an outcome of mindfulness practice.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of regular mindfulness meditation practice on five personal qualities that an extensive literature review deems critical for successful leadership in an age of rapid organizational change and uncertainty. Design/methodology/approach In this eight-week study, the authors investigated whether a weekly, 45-minute mindfulness practice routine (n=20) would significantly improve five leadership qualities when compared with a weekly, three hour graduate level leadership course (n=21), which in contrast incorporated theoretical instruction, skills practice, and experiential learning. Both samples included organizational leaders throughout the Minneapolis/St Paul area. Findings Results of a pre-post survey confirmed that when compared with participants in the leadership course condition, participants in the mindfulness practice condition demonstrated a significant increase in promotional regulatory focus and a significant reduction in trait anxiety and stress. No significant changes were seen for resilience or tolerance for ambiguity. This study also uncovered significant inter-correlations between scores on trait anxiety and a number of variables, most notably promotional regulatory focus. Implications exist for numerous bodies of research concerning leadership, well-being and the leadership development programs they influence, which include leadership psychology, organization development, and mindfulness-based stress reduction. Originality/value This is the first study of its kind (to date) to investigate the impact of mindfulness practice on leadership qualities, which according to research, are critical to leadership performance.

“…Budner (1962) defined ambiguity tolerance as “the tendency to perceive ambiguous situations as desirable.” It influences reactions to a spectrum of situational features suitable in various life contexts (Furnham and Marks, 2013). Empirical research showed that ambiguity tolerance is related to better performance, willingness to violate ethical norms, and consumers' willingness to pay for remanufactured products (Teoh and Foo, 1997; Weisbrod, 2009; Hazen et al, 2012). On the other hand, intolerance of ambiguity is associated with challenge appraisal, life satisfaction, and positive affect (Bardi et al, 2009).…”

This study aimed to validate career decision ambiguity tolerance scale-Korean form applicable to a Korean sample. In study 1, 17-items from the original 18-item career decision ambiguity tolerance scale were valid based on IRT. In study 2, using the confirmatory factor analysis, we showed that excluding item 4 from the original scale is better than including it in the three factors model. Given the results of study 1 and 2, the constructs in the 17-item career decision ambiguity tolerance scale-Korean form were valid. In study 3, career decision ambiguity tolerance positively predicted career decision-making self-efficacy, career indecision, and career adaptability, respectively, after controlling for calling and career search self-efficacy. Thus, the incremental validity of the career decision ambiguity tolerance scale-Korean form was ensured. In study 4, the reliability of the scale was retained as the test-retest (conducted over a 4-week period) demonstrated adequate results.
