“…Other researchers developed an instrument to measure sustainable corporate entrepreneurship in the Zambian context in order to enhance the performance of Zambian organizations (Mungule & Van Vuuren, ). Finally, an assessment of the impact of trust on health system performance in Zambia found that a combination of poor working conditions, perceptions of low pay, and inefficient health center management undermined patients’ trust in health workers’ service values and professionalism, which led to a negative impact on service quality (Topp & Chipukuma, ).…”

In its quest to become a prosperous middle-income nation by 2030, Zambia has realized the need to create a strong economy and increase its gross domestic product. One way to achieve that goal is to create high-performance organizations. The application of a five-part high-performance organization framework to Zambia's Competition and Consumer Protection Commission helped the government agency significantly improve its financial and operational performance in two years, while enhancing two-way communications, employee morale, customer service, and its reputation for efficiency and integrity.

“…Thus, entrepreneurship perceptions of students might have effect on their performance in science courses and are important from this angle of view. Also, literature shows that there are several studies towards entrepreneurship perceptions in science education with various groups (Deveci, 2018;Köybaşı & Dönmez, 2017;Mungule & Van Vuuren, 2016) but not enough number of studies towards secondary school students' entrepreneurship perceptions exist.…”

Aim of this research is to examine the effect of the use of the socioscientific argumentation method on students' entrepreneurial perceptions in the middle school science course. In the study, quasiexperimental design with pretest-posttest control group, as one of the quantitative research, was used. Experiment and control groups were formed from students who were studying in four classes in a determined middle school in the 2017-2018 academic year. In this study, lessons were taught with the socio-scientific argumentation method in the experiment group while Turkish Science Education Program activities and application continued to be used in the control group. The Entrepreneurship Perception in Science Education Scale was used as the data collection tool in the study. The scale was developed in order to determine secondary school students' entrepreneurship perceptions. The scale consists of 5 factors and 28 items. Findings of research indicated a significant score difference in favor of the experiment group. In addition, findings of sub-factor scores also indicated significant score differences in favor of the experiment group According to the results of the study, socio-scientific argumentation method positively affected the students' entrepreneurship perception. Furthermore, results show that socio-scientific argumentation method positively affected the students' self-esteem, innovation perception and creativity, leadership and tendency to stand out, social skills and group work, and risk taking tendency. Socioscientific argumentation method might also have influenced the entrepreneurship characteristics which is a learning outcome for students according to the 2013 and 2018 Turkish Science Education Program.

“…More research could be developed if reliable and valid instruments are made available. Many of the instruments developed around entrepreneurship are still focused on the business and management areas, with the creation of a business as the main indicator of entrepreneurship (e.g., Hansen, Deitz, Tokman, Marino, & Weaver, 2011;Kraus, Niemand, Halberstadt, Shaw, & Syrjä, 2017;McGee, Peterson, Mueller, & Sequeira, 2009;Mungule & Van Vuuren, 2016). However, these instruments do not reflect the elements of entrepreneurship needed to drive change and innovation in public school classrooms.…”

This study has two purposes. First, we assessed the reliability and factor structure of the English-language version of the Entrepreneurial Behavior Scale. Second, we measured its convergent validity. We used two data sets from previous studies exploring entrepreneurial behavior among public school teachers in the United States. Data set #1 consisted of 311 participants and data set #2 had 367. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis indicated adequate fit indexes. Results indicated a good Cronbach’s alpha score (0.84). Results also showed evidence of convergent validity between Entrepreneurial Behavior and Career Adaptability.
