Entrepreneurial Self–Efficacy: Refining the Measure
针对创业自我效能感（ESE）定义和测量不一致的问题，本研究在新创企业创建过程框架下开发并测试了多维度的ESE测量工具，对创业理论和教育有启示。
A growing number of studies on entrepreneurial motivation, intentions, and behavior include entrepreneurial self–efficacy (ESE) as an explanatory variable. While there is broad consensus among researchers on the importance of including ESE in an intentionality model, there remain inconsistencies in the definition, dimensionality, and measurement of ESE. This study takes an important step toward refinement and standardization of ESE measurement. Within a new venture creation process framework, a multi–dimensional ESE instrument is developed and tested on a diverse sample that includes nascent entrepreneurs. Implications for entrepreneurship theory and entrepreneurship education are discussed.
