Abstract

In this article an extended version of the Bird model is investigated in a prospective approach. The model is tested on a cohort of 62 final semester MBAs in the UK. Boyd and Vozikis' (1994) theoretical propositions represent the base model. Antecedents of the extended model are empirically tested using exogenous variables such as mastery experience, vicarious experience and social influences against entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The present study supports the proposition that social influence affects entrepreneurial self-efficacy and that self-efficacy goal setting and goal commitment affect entrepreneurial career choice intentions.
