Measuring the Entrepreneurship Characteristics and Its Impact on Entrepreneurial Intentions ()
ABSTRACT
Scientific progress, technology and industrial
development in addition to globalization have allowed for the flow of a large amount of
market information (capital information, investment information, labor, goods
and services information etc.), which has resulted in intense competition
increasing day by day because of the rapid technological developments,
communication technology, electronic commerce and economic blocs. This has led
to the industrial development of goods and services at an accelerated pace, and
the development of business organizations under the pressure of intense
competition and they must search for sophisticated strategies to stay in the
market and the performance of economic and social tasks entrusted to it, and be
able to compete and then expand in the markets locally and internationally.
Entrepreneurship is one of the main topics in the economies of both developed
and developing countries. Effective entrepreneurship contributes to economic
development and the information era has led to dramatic changes in the work
environment. Participation and technology have resulted in a faster pace the
competition between local and international institutions, which works in an
innovative way to disseminate information to produce products and provide new
services to customers. The information era is also an incentive to restore
successful traditional work patterns. As a result, innovation has become the
main factor in separating leading institutions at all local, regional, and
international levels. This paper aimed at measuring the characteristics of
Entrepreneurship among postgraduate students from different universities in the
Kingdom of Bahrain and its impact on entrepreneurship characteristics. A conceptual framework has been presented for a
better understanding of the entrepreneurship characteristics topic which formed
the basis for the topic under study. Using a quantitative method, 1000
questionnaires were distributed to target respondents comprising
of international and local graduate students studying/graduated from different
universities in the Kingdom of Bahrain. The responses collected were 930 completed questionnaires representing a 93%
percent response rate. The data were analyzed using Smart PLS version 3. The
findings indicate that entrepreneurship characteristics of the post-graduate
students are a valid construct in predicting entrepreneurial intentions.
