Abstract
The Mini-Kolverid’s (1996) entrepreneurial attitude scale is an alternative measure that grants researchers’ interest to translate approximately 7 languages validating in worldwide university students. This study aims to make psychometric validation of the Thai version of this measure. The translation method applied the translation technique. Then it was analyzed by the confirmatory factor analysis and structural network analysis, respectively. The samples were 1,237 university students from Bangkok and Nakorn Pathom Province selected by convenience sampling, through an online platform. The results revealed that the three-factor model with workload, autonomy and creativity components was good-to-excellent (χ2/df = 1.75, p = .06, CFI = .99 TLI = .98, RMSEA = .02) The structural network analysis confirmed that those three factors were in their question clusters. However, there were about 2 questions which researchers can improve in the future study. This study purposes that this scale could be used alternatively to measure entrepreneurial attitude and other related variables from Thai researchers.
