Predicting entrepreneurial, professional and leader career intentions by values and attitudes.

This study examines the relationship of life values and career attitudes with entrepreneurial, professional and leader career intentions based on the Career Active System Traid (CAST) model (Baruch, 2004a). Through developed measures of Schwartz (1992) life values, protean and boundaryless career a...

Through developed measures of Schwartz (1992) life values, protean and boundaryless career attitudes (Briscoe & Hall, 2002), this study attempted to determine which dimensions of these variables can predict Entrepreneurial, Professional and Leadership (EPL) career intentions (Chan, Chernyshenko, Ho & Chew, 2011). Two hundred and seventy-two Singapore university students participated in the present study.

Results suggest that a different combination of values and protean and boundaryless career attitudes are relevant in predicting E, P or L career intentions. Self-directedness, boundaryless mindset, organisational mobility and traditional values positively predicted entrepreneurial career intention. Conservation values positively predicted professional career intention while self directedness attitudes and power negatively predicted it. Boundaryless mindset positively predicted leadership career intention while organisational mobility and universalism negatively predicted it.
