“…Evidence reported by Kreuger et al (2000), drawn from a sample of university business students, supports the entrepreneurial event model. The conclusion that there is little evidence for self-efficacy is also supported by the subsequent research (Gatewood et al 1995, Tkachev and Kolvereid 1999, Krueger et al 2000.…”

“…1 Blanchflower et al (2001) report high rates of response to the question in the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) 'would you prefer to be self-employed' (rather than an employee): Norway ¼ 27%; Sweden ¼ 39%; Great Britain ¼ 45%; USA ¼ 71%. Tkachev and Kolvereid (1999) report that 37% of Russian students sampled state a preference for self-employment. Such questions may identify broad aspiration towards entrepreneurship on an open time-scale.…”

This paper is about whether transitions into self-employment are preceded by well-formed entrepreneurial aspirations, and the extent to which aspiration and actual transition are associated with the same factors. It analyses data from a British general purpose longitudinal survey, allowing the tracking of stated entrepreneurial aspiration through to self-employment transition one or more years later. The majority of transitions are not preceded by a statement of aspiration a year earlier and therefore many new ventures may be hastily conceived. Studies which identify nascent entrepreneurs from a sample of the general population and subsequently trace new venture creation may therefore miss significant numbers of entrepreneurial transitions. Although first noted by Katz (1990), this issue has attracted relatively little research attention since. The paper adopts the novel approach of allowing unexplained heterogeneity in the formation of aspirations to be correlated with that in the self-employment transition choice. Aspirations are associated with displacement factors such as low job satisfaction, but this finding is not translated into an association with transitions. Aspirations are not found to be associated with intentional activity such as active saving, or with correlates of personal efficacy such as financial wealth and educational background. Aspirations display regional variation with some regions having higher levels of aspiration that do not translate into a higher start-up rate. These findings reinforce a strong conclusion that policy should address the level of preparedness for new business start-up amongst aspiring entrepreneurs.

“…Several models aim to explain entrepreneurial intentions such as the Shapero's Entrepreneurial Event Model (Shapero & Sokol, 1982), the Model of Implementing Entrepreneurial Ideas (Bird, 1988) or Maximization of the Expected Utility (Douglas & Shepherd, 2002). Although these models represent a step forward in entrepreneurial behavior research, they have not been as influential as the TPB (Autio et al, 2001;Krueger et al, 2000;van Gelderen et al, 2008;Tkachev & Kolvereid, 1999). Unlike other models, the TPB offers a coherent and generally applicable theoretical framework, which enables us to understand and predict entrepreneurial intention by taking into account not only personal but also social factors (Krueger et al, 2000).…”

“…The TPB integrates two lines of research on entrepreneurial intentions: research on the relationships between attitudes and entrepreneurial intention (Douglas & Shepherd, 2002), and research on the connections between self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention (Jung, Ehrlich, DeNoble & Baik, 2001). The TPB has been used successfully in the past to describe entrepreneurial intentions of students in the U.S. (Autio, et al, 2001;Krueger, et al, 2000), The Netherlands (van Gelderen, et al, 2008), Norway (Kolvereid, 1996), Russia (Tkachev & Kolvereid, 1999), Finland, Sweden (Autio, et al, 2001), Germany (Jacob & Richter, 2005), Spain and Taiwan (Liñán & Chen, 2009;Moriano, 2005), and South Africa (Gird & Bagraim, 2008).…”

Abstract:The aim of this empirical research is to verify the contribution of entrepreneurial tendencies and abilities, perceived entrepreneurial self-efficacy and desirability of entrepreneurship to the entrepreneurial intentions. This model was generated according to the framework of the Theory of planned behavior and Model of the entrepreneurial event. Data was collected from a sample of undergraduate students of economics and analyzed with SEM. The results show that the self-assessment of entrepreneurial tendencies and abilities is positively associated with the perceptions of entrepreneurial self-effica cy and desirability of entrepreneurship, which also contributes positively to explanation of entrepreneurial intentions. In addition, it was found that entrepreneurial tendencies and abilities influence entrepreneurial intentions only indirectly, through entrepreneurial self-efficacy and desirability of entrepreneurship. Finally, entrepreneurial tendencies and abilities, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and desirability of entrepreneurship together, explain most of the varia nce of the entrepreneurial intentions. Educational implications of obtained results are being discussed.
