Abstract:	摘要： 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. 出版者： London: Routledge 出版日期： 2016-06-16 出處： International journal of human resource management, 2016-06, Vol.27 (11), p.1158-1172 資源來源： Taylor & Francis Journals Auto-Holdings Collection 版權： 2015 Taylor & Francis 2015 版權： Copyright Taylor & Francis Group 2016 識別號： ISSN: 0958-5192 識別號： EISSN: 1466-4399 識別號： DOI: 10.1080/09585192.2015.1060511
