The purpose of this study is to develop and validate the sub-dimensions of the learning experiences sources of self-efficacy and outcome expectations of social cognitive career theory (SCCT) in the domain of entrepreneurship. The validation process was done in three phases. The first phase was the item generation and expert reviews of the items. In the second phase (N = 335 students), we subjected the scale to exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and discovered 5-theory consistent factors. In the third phase (N = 376), we collected another independent sample to further validate the scale, using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and a whole spectrum of validity approaches. Overall, the results suggested that the scale is psychometrically sound and supported the theory consistent five-factor structure, with adequate reliability estimates. Our proposed instrument addresses the limitations of previous intention-based models by incorporating other theory that accounts for the achievement of entrepreneurial intention and behaviour outcomes. Finally, we highlight pedagogical, policy and practical implications.

本研究的目的是开发和验证社会认知职业理论（SCCT）在创业领域的自我效能和结果期望的学习经验来源的子维度。验证过程分三个阶段完成。第一阶段是项目生成和项目的专家评审。在第二阶段（N = 335 名学生），我们对量表进行了探索性因素分析 (EFA)，并发现了 5 个理论一致的因素。在第三阶段（N = 376），我们收集了另一个独立样本，以使用验证性因素分析 (CFA) 和一系列有效性方法进一步验证量表。总体而言，结果表明该量表在心理测量学上是合理的，并支持理论一致的五因素结构，并具有足够的可靠性估计。我们提出的工具通过结合其他解释创业意图和行为结果的理论来解决以前基于意图的模型的局限性。最后，我们强调教学、政策和实际意义。
