Abstract

This quantitative study explores how locus of control and psychological entitlement relate to individual entrepreneurial orientation. Survey data show weak associations involving LOC, but a moderate positive relationship between entitlement and entrepreneurial orientation. The findings underscore entitlement’s nuanced role in entrepreneurial behaviour and challenge traditional assumptions about locus of control.
