The Expectancies in Public Sector Venture Assistance

Elizabeth Gatewood

Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 1993, vol. 17, issue 2, 91-95

Abstract: This article uses expectancy theory as a framework for explaining how public sector venture assistance organizations affect venture creation. Public sector venture assistance organizations can positively Influence venture creation through improving the entrepreneur's skills, abilities, and access to required resources. But they can also have a negative relationship to venture creation by denying services or access to resources or through affecting the entrepreneur's expectancies for venture success.
