Involvement in Entrepreneurial Training and Personality

The research aims to explore the relationship between the entrepreneurial traits and the involvement in the development of entrepreneurial competences by means of training courses offered by the university. Significant relationships were identified between entrepreneurial potential and the following personality variables: entrepreneurial skills, resources organization, internal locus of control, and creativity. No significant relationship between average risk propensity and entrepreneurial potential was identified. The participants with high entrepreneurial potential proved to be more aware of the discrepancy in this respect. (C) 2011 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
