Abstract:Background: Entrepreneurship and entrepreneurs become more and more interesting fields for a scientific research. This paper addresses the relationship between optimism, pre-entrepreneurial curiosity and entrepreneurial curiosity as three determinants of entrepreneurial psychology. Literature review showed optimism is important for entrepreneurs and influence them mostly in a positive way. Although entrepreneurial curiosity is important determinant for entrepreneurs and it was connected with entrepreneurial self-efficacy, openness, and company's growth the connection with optimism remained unexplored until this research. Methods: A multi-country empirical validation was conducted on a sample of entrepreneurs from Slovenia and USA. A structural equation modelling, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to develop a model, which complement theoretical predisposition and fit the data. Results: The results of the study show that higher levels of optimism lead to higher levels of pre-entrepreneurial curiosity and higher levels of pre-entrepreneurial curiosity lead to higher levels of entrepreneurial curiosity. Conclusions: The contribution of this study is manifold. From the theoretical view, a literature gap on the field of optimism and entrepreneurial curiosity combined is fulfilled and a structural equation model with optimism and entrepreneurial curiosity was established. Since openness, pre-entrepreneurial curiosity and entrepreneurial curiosity are related policy makers can test individuals according to their level of researched determinants and motivate more entrepreneurial perspective ones to become active in the entrepreneurship process. Thus, entrepreneurs can use these results to recruit more entrepreneurial oriented employees.

Title:Relacije med optimizmom, pre-podjetniško radovednostjo in podjetniško radovednostjo
Abstract:Ozadje: Proučevanje podjetništva in podjetnikov postajata vedno bolj zanimivi področji v znanstveni literaturi. Tako ta članek obravnava relacije med optimizmom, pre-podjetniško radovednostjo in podjetniško radovednostjo kot tremi dejavniki podjetniške psihologije. Pregled literature je pokazal, da je optimizem pomemben za podjetnike in vpliva ​​nanje večinoma v pozitivni smeri. Čeprav je podjetniška radovednost pomemben dejavnik, ki vpliva na podjetnike in je bila v preteklosti povezana s podjetniško samo učinkovitostjo, odprtostjo in rastjo podjetja, je bila povezava z optimizmom neraziskana do te raziskave. Metode: Meddržavna empirična validacija je bila izvedena na vzorcu podjetnikov iz Slovenije in ZDA. Za razvoj modela, ki dopolnjuje teoretične predispozicije in potrjuje ustreznost podatkov so bili uporabljeni strukturno modeliranje enačb, raziskovalna faktorska analiza (EFA) in konfirmatorna faktorska analiza (CFA). Rezultati: Rezultati raziskave kažejo, da višje ravni optimizma vplivajo na višje ravni pre-podjetniške radovednosti in da višje ravni pre-podjetniške radovednosti vplivajo na višje ravni podjetniške radovednosti. Sklep: Prispevek te študije je večplasten. S teoretičnega vidika, je bila zapolnjena vrzel literature na področju povezave optimizma in podjetniške radovednosti ter ustvarjen strukturni model enačb z optimizmom in podjetniško radovednostjo. Glede na dejstvo, da so odprtost, pre-podjetniška radovednost in podjetniška radovednost povezani, lahko oblikovalci politike identificirajo posameznike glede na njihovo stopnjo, v tem članku raziskanih dejavnikov in motivirajo bolj podjetniško perspektivne, da postanejo aktivni v procesu podjetništva. Nadalje lahko podjetniki uporabijo te rezultate kot pomoč pri zaposlovanju bolj podjetniško usmerjenih zaposlenih.
