1. Introduction
Entrepreneurial orientation (EO) is a cornerstone of the field of entrepreneurship and an important predictor of firm performance (Rauch et al., 2009). While EO is predominately viewed as a firm-level construct (Covin and Wales, 2012), it is often measured through the psychological filter of individual managers (Frese, 2009); in addition, scholarship has highlighted how the attitudes and dispositions of individuals influence firm-level strategy (Frese and Gielnik, 2014; Hambrick and Mason, 1984). Based upon conservation of resources theory (Hobfoll, 1989), individual entrepreneurs’ attitudes toward risk-taking appear particularly susceptible to influence from socioeconomic forces. Thus, entrepreneurs’ attitudes about risk taking and measures of EO tied to those attitudes are likely to include both construct-relevant and construct-irrelevant signals – potentially leading to misinterpretation. The present work explores whether individuals spread across socioeconomic gradients might differentially conceptualize items relating to risk-taking in comparison to their interpretations of items relating to innovativeness and proactivity. We pursue this line of investigation with two samples. First, we test for measurement equivalence (ME) in an individual-level assessment of entrepreneurial attitudes toward risk-taking, proactivity, and innovativeness in the United States among entrepreneurs of low and high socioeconomic status. Second, we test for ME in an assessment of firm-level EO, measured via manager self-report, among firms from Montenegro operating in regions of low and high socioeconomic development This article makes at least three contributions. First, we provide evidence that the self-report of a firm's EO across socioeconomic gradients might be misleading – even within a single nation. Second, we take a preliminary step to answering the call by Covin and Miller (2014) to consider the extent to which intra-national socioeconomic factors might be conceptually related to EO. Third, we extend research on the psychology of entrepreneurship by demonstrating the theoretical relevance of tests of ME to an understanding of EO (Frese and Gielnik, 2014).
