Abstract

The study establishes the psychometric evidences of the Entrepreneurial Behavior Scale (EBS) in a sample of university students (N = 865) where 526 (60.8%) were women and 339 (39.2%) were men. Evidences of Aiken's content validity (p<.01 or p<.05) were found, indicating that the items are clear, coherent and relevant; as well as of internal structure, verifying the three-dimensional model, with adequate fit indices (RMR = .05, AGFI = .94, NFI = .92, RFI = .91, PNFI = .84). Finally, reliability by internal consistency was found with the Omega coefficient (? > .70). It is concluded that the Entrepreneurial Behavior Scale (EBS) presents adequate evidences of validity and reliability.
