Abstract:
Assessment of the leadership traits of college students is important, especially since the enhancement of these traits has been known to lead to success in college and the workplace. This study determined the significance of factors influencing the leadership potential of both business and non-business students at three universities, including one in midland China. The survey (N = 714) in this study measured the attitudinal construct of perceived personal control from Robinson and Hunt’s 1991 entrepreneurial attitude orientation model. Results indicated that student characteristics and entrepreneurial experience were found to be significantly related to the perceived personal control attitude variable.
