We constructed a questionnaire to collect data on various psychological factors from existing kiosk operators in two states: Assam and Uttar Pradesh (UP). We related these factors and questions to performance measured by log sales of the kiosk. A significant degree of performance variation can be explained by psychological characteristics, in particular, self efficacy, achievement motivation and average psychological aptitude for entrepreneurs in Assam. However, performance variation of UP’s entrepreneurs is explained by age and prior experience in borrowing in addition to the psychological characteristic of achievement motivation. We identify specific questions as well and find that performance is significantly related to the questions relating to selfefficacy and locus of control for both states. Finally, we employ these findings to build a model for the selection strategy of rural entrepreneurs. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini!
