Modelling the Barriers to Creating Entrepreneurial Businesses Based on Structural Equations

Objective Using a quantitative approach and a systematic methodology, advanced structural equation modelling techniques were applied to test the research hypotheses. In a possible sample of 98 experts and activists of entrepreneurship in Sistan and Baluchistan province, the observations were collected using a standard 32-items tool based on Likert scale. After screening the raw data, covariance-based confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate the validity, reliability and fittingness of the research model, and the hypotheses were tested in the form of a structural model. The results of convergent and divergent validity tests showed that the two indicators of the research model has validity. Also, the reliability tests indicated the generalizability of the research results at 85%. Also, all the research hypotheses were confirmed.Objective Using a quantitative approach and a systematic methodology, advanced structural equation modelling techniques were applied to test the research hypotheses.
