Education Ph.D. May 2011 Dissertation: Major: Organizational Behavior Minor: Entrepreneurship Kelley School of Business, Indiana University-Bloomington, IN The Impact of Personality on Entrepreneurial Intention and Performance: Competing Models and Theory Pruning The dissertation addresses an issue at the intersection of the fields of entrepreneurship, human resource management and organizational behavior. Specifically, the goal is to understand the relationship among entrepreneurs Big Five personality traits and their intention to behavior entrepreneurially, and entrepreneurial performance. The dissertation integrates meta-analysis and structural equation modeling and uses a comprehensive database extracted from more than 200 independent studies including approximately 150,000 individuals. Results indicate that a model in which the Big Five personality traits predict the mediator intention, which in turn, predicts entrepreneurial performance provides the best fit for the relationship.
