Abstract

This chapter investigates the employees' perception of entrepreneurial mindset factors affecting the development of entrepreneurship competence (EC). Empirical cross-sectional data were collected with an online survey from 754 employees in five countries: Estonia, Finland, Poland, Portugal, and Italy. The survey aimed to measure four areas of EC (self-management, managing social situations, creative thinking and finding solutions, and acting upon opportunities and ideas) and the related 14 sub-competencies. The main aim was to verify if country-specific differences exist in employees' perceptions of entrepreneurship sub-competencies, and which sub-competencies are the best predictors for the actualization of a specific EC. A linear regression model was used for this aim.
