Abstract

The purpose of this article is to derive a content adequate five-dimensional Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) scale. Content adequacy is the most basic psychometric property that should be assessed of any measurement instrument. However, none of the few, extant five-dimensional EO scales have ever been assessed for content adequacy. Utilizing the methods developed by Schriesheim and colleagues, a two-stage study is undertaken first to explore and then confirm the content adequacy of a five-dimensional EO scale. The resultant scale shows excellent agreement with theory and would be instrumental in advancing research in the sparsely studied five-dimensional EO research domain.
