Abstract

The article provides a substantiation of a model for diagnosing a propensity and aptitude for doing business, which is based on the functional theory of entrepreneurship. The content of any entrepreneur’s activity is based on an entrepreneurial resource, with the help of which business owners gain competitive advantages. By becoming effective participants in business processes, they must ensure and maintain the effectiveness and competitiveness of their business; be able to establish business communications for the organization of production and sale of goods; provide services and perform the necessary work related to labor functions. However, the uniqueness of an entrepreneur’s activity lies in the fact that in this profession, an entrepreneurial resource is combined with natural entrepreneurship, which, under equal conditions for doing business, will allow a person not only to be financially successful, but also to use his personal potential as efficiently as possible. The authors proceed from the hypothesis of natural entrepreneurship, which underlies any business. A diagnostic test has been developed that allows at the early stages of career guidance to determine the integral meaning of entrepreneurship, including cognitive, motivational and emotional-volitional prerequisites for doing business. The authors, using the method of expert assessment, identified parameters that are professionally significant characteristics and satisfy the functions of business, reflect the personal qualities and tendencies of people to engage in entrepreneurship differentiate schoolchildren by the parameter “entrepreneurship” in the early stages of career guidance. And also, they allow diagnosing the most important personal characteristics, that determining the entrepreneurial professionalization of schoolchildren in the process of teaching entrepreneurship.
