Abstract

Zhao, Seibert and Hills (“ZSH”) developed an important framework in their 2005 article in the Journal of Applied Psychology. Using a sample of MBA students, ZSH found that entrepreneurial self-efficacy mediated the relationship between certain factors and entrepreneurial intentions. In this study, we conduct a “quasi replication” and extension of the ZSH results. Using a sample of adults in the U.S., we both replicate key findings but also find considerable heterogeneity in effect sizes across certain sample sub-groups. Our results offer important insights regarding entrepreneurial processes across different sectors of the population.
