Role Model Performance Effects on Development of Entrepreneurial Career Preference
基于社会学习理论，研究父母创业角色榜样如何通过提升教育培训意愿、任务自我效能感和创业预期，影响个体创业职业偏好的形成。
Critics of the trait approach to the study of entrepreneurship have called for adaptation of theory from other disciplines to explain entrepreneurial behavior. This study responds by focusing on the first step in the process by which entrepreneurial career preference is developed. Social Learning Theory was used to investigate the link between a parent role model and development of preference for an entrepreneurial career. Results indicated that presence of a parent entrepreneurial role model was associated with increased education and training aspirations, task self-efficacy, and expectancy for an entrepreneurial career. Two dimensions of entrepreneurial career preference, entrepreneurial preparedness and expectancy, were identified.
