Entrepreneurial behavior scale: a validation study

Abstract

This study has two purposes. First, we assessed the reliability and factor structure of the English-language version of the Entrepreneurial Behavior Scale. Second, we measured its convergent validity. We used two data sets from previous studies exploring entrepreneurial behavior among public school teachers in the United States. Data set #1 consisted of 311 participants and data set #2 had 367. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis indicated adequate fit indexes. Results indicated a good Cronbach’s alpha score (0.84). Results also showed evidence of convergent validity between Entrepreneurial Behavior and Career Adaptability.
