MARTINEZ-GREGORIO, Sara et al. Psychometric properties of the Entrepreneurial Intention Questionnaire (EIQ) in Dominican Republic adolescents. rev.latinoam.psicol. [online]. 2023, vol.55, pp.120-129. Epub 12-Jan-2024. ISSN 0120-0534. https://doi.org/10.14349/rlp.2023.v55.14.
Introduction:
This work represents the first attempt to obtain evidence of the validity of an entrepreneurial intention questionnaire in the adolescent population of a Latin American or Caribbean country. The objectives are to study the factor structure, the reliability, the external validity and to test the gender invariance of the Entrepreneurial Intention Questionnaire, in its adaptation for adolescents.
Method:
The sample consisted of 708 adolescents from the Dominican Republic with a mean age of 15.49, 65.2% of whom were women and 35.8% were men. Analyses included confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach’s Alpha and Omega scores for reliability, correlations, and a gender invariance routine. Finally, latent means of females and males are compared.
Results:
The confirmatory factor analysis showed a good fit to the data and the reliability results were adequate. In addition, the correlations with the Entrepreneurial Attitudes Scale for Students were positive and statistically significant. Also, strict gender invariance was successfully verified. Although males presented a higher subjective norm, females showed higher entrepreneurial intentions.
Conclusions:
The Entrepreneurial Intention Questionnaire shows adequate psychometric properties and proves useful in conducting research on the promotion of entrepreneurship in early stages.
