Abstract

This study was aimed at examining simple and multiple relationships of creativity, achievement motivation and self- esteem (as potential antecedents of entrepreneurship) with entrepreneurship in students of Shahid Chamran University (Ahvaz, Iran). Two samples including 600 subjects were randomly selected for this study: 400 subjects for testing the hypotheses, and 200 subjects for the scale validation phase. Subjects completed five scales: Measuring Your Entrepreneurial Traits (MET), Entrepreneurial Attitude Orientation (EAO), a creativity questionnaire, an achievement motivation questionnaire, and Eysenck’s Self-esteem Test. Data were analyzed using pearson correlation coefficient and multiple regression statistical methods. The overall results indicate that, indeed, all examined antecedent variables correlate highly and positively with students’ entrepreneurship.
