Self-Leadership and Professionalism as The Predictors of Entrepreneurial Propensity: The Role of Locus of Control and Learned Resourcefulness as Moderators

Öz

The purpose of this study is to examine the structural relationships among the potential antecedents of entrepreneurial propensity (self-leadership and professionalism) and to test the role of locus of control and learned resourcefulness in this relationship. To achieve this end, a survey comprising of Self-Leadership questionnaire, Occupational Professionalism scale, Entrepreneurial Propensity scale, Rosenbaum’s Learned Resourcefulness scale and Rotter’s Locus of Control scale was undertaken with a sample of two hundred and twenty-nine teachers (160 women, 69 men) working in various public and private schools in Istanbul. The data was analyzed using AMOS 21 and SPSS 19. The results indicated that the proposed model significantly explains 65% of the entrepreneurship. Yet, the learned resourcefulness and locus of control would not moderate the relationship in the proposed model.
