Organizational Employment versus Self-Employment: Reasons for Career Choice Intentions

Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 1996, vol. 20, issue 3, 23-31

Abstract: This research developed a classification scheme of reasons given for preferring self-employment versus organizational employment. Using an open-ended approach, data were collected from persons who had obtained a master's degree in business from a Norwegian business school during the 1987–1994 period. The classification scheme that emerged questions the relevance of earlier models, which have been used to explain and predict occupational status choice.
