本研究綜觀社會交換理論觀點與人力資本理論觀點，試圖探討華人社會除了仰賴與生俱來的人格特質外，透過與他人的人際互動，與提升自我的技能，對於創業精神的影響。本研究假設內外控人格特質可以透過提升人際網絡的社會資本，進而促進創業精神影響，亦可透過人力資本的提升，進而有助於創業精神之發展。為此本研究以SEM結構化方程模式分析探討社會資本、人力資本在內外控人格特質對創業精神影響關係中具有關鍵中介機制之重要性，並以中國大陸14間企業主管為研究對象，有效回收問卷為1002份。研究結果發現，社會資本、人力資本皆在內控人格特質對創業精神影響關係中具有中介效果。本研究貢獻如下：首先本研究綜觀社會交換理論觀點與人力資本理論觀點，在同一研究架構下結合了人際觀點與本身觀點，進而影響創業精神。並且建立內外控人格特質對創業精神的關鍵中介機制，彌補過去研究以人格特質單方面對創業精神之影響關係。;This paper proposes the research framework that locus of control enhances entrepreneurship through the mediating mechanisms of increased social capital in interpersonal networks and improved human capital in personal development. We adopted structural equation modeling to examine the research hypothesis. The research participants comprised managers from 14 enterprises in China; a total of 1002 valid questionnaires were collected. The results revealed that social and human capital mediate the effect that internal locus of control exerts on entrepreneurship. This study provides the following research contributions: first, the findings address the gaps in previous studies regarding the effect that a single dimension (i.e. personality traits) produces on entrepreneurship. Second, by employing the social exchange and human capital theories, we integrated interpersonal and individual perspectives into the research framework to explore factors affecting entrepreneurship, identifying that social and human capital are key-mediating mechanisms through which locus of control influences entrepreneurship.
