Entrepreneurial Personality (EP) is a collection of personality traits that broadly and strongly relate to entrepreneurial outcomes across most contexts. The goal of the current article is to address present uncertainties surrounding EP by identifying its dimensions and assessing their relations with entrepreneurial outcomes. Our systematic literature review demonstrates that seven dimensions are commonly used to represent EP: innovativeness, risk-taking, achievement orientation, locus of control, proactiveness, self-efficacy, and autonomy orientation. Via meta-analytic structural equation modeling, we find support for a one-factor model composed of these seven dimensions, suggesting that they indeed represent a unitary construct. Our meta-analysis also supports that EP and its dimensions consistently produce significant relations with entrepreneurial attitudes, intent, status, and performance. EP is thereby supported as an important component of successful entrepreneurial endeavors, and our meta-analytic results provide clear criteria for determining the inclusion of dimensions within the construct of EP – which our seven identified dimensions satisfy.

企业家人格的系统文献回顾和荟萃分析

创业人格 (EP) 是一组人格特质，与大多数情况下的创业成果有着广泛而密切的关系。当前文章的目标是通过确定其维度并评估其与创业成果的关系来解决当前围绕 EP 的不确定性。我们的系统文献回顾表明，七个维度通常用于表示 EP：创新、冒险、成就导向、控制点、主动性、自我效能和自主导向。通过元分析结构方程建模，我们发现了对由这七个维度组成的单因素模型的支持，这表明它们确实代表了一个单一的结构。我们的荟萃分析还支持 EP 及其维度始终与企业家态度、意图、地位和绩效产生重要关系。因此，EP 被支持为成功的创业努力的重要组成部分，我们的元分析结果为确定在 EP 结构中包含维度提供了明确的标准——我们确定的七个维度都满足了这些标准。
