Abstract
The development and evaluation of an entrepreneurship orientation questionnaire. The principal aim of the study was to construct a measuring instrument based on a contextual theory of entrepreneurship to measure entrepreneurship orientation. A secondary aim of the study was to determine whether a correlation exists between entrepreneurship orientation and psychological flow. An adapted Psychological Flow Questionnaire was used to measure the respondents’ experience of activities in their daily lives. The questionnaires were applied to 276 respondents consisting of a group of
students taking courses in entrepreneurship on the one hand and a group of students taking no such courses, on the other
hand. Both instruments were subjected to factor analysis and item analysis. From the study a statistically significant
difference in terms of entrepreneurship orientation was found to exist between the entrepreneurship students and the
non-entrepreneurship students. A statistically significant positive correlation was found to exist between
entrepreneurship orientation and psychological flow. The implications of the findings are discussed.
