Entrepreneurship Studies and Influences Psychometric Methodologies and Testing Management and Organizational Practices

Abstract

The USA developed Corporate Entrepreneurship Assessment Instrument (CEAI) (Hornsby, Kuratko and \nZahra, 2002) is used to assess and implement a corporate entrepreneurial strategy. As psychometric \ninstruments cannot necessarily be transferred between different cultures, the main objective of this \nstudy is to investigate the construct validity of CEAI, for a South African sample. An exploratory \nprincipal factor analysis with oblique rotation investigated the five-factor 48-item CEAI using a South \nAfrican sample of 333 managers. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated an eight-factor 34-item solution \n(alphas in brackets): Work discretion (0.84), Management support and risk-taking (0.82), Rewards/ \nreinforcement (0.75), Innovative initiatives (0.84), Financial support (0.73), Sufficient time (0.76), \nOrganizational boundaries (0.81) and Inadequate time (0.67). The application of this eight-factor scale is \na powerful tool that allows management to investigate and communicate entrepreneurial expectations \nand facilitate entrepreneurial actions effectively.
