Abstract

Entrepreneurial environment is a key factor to promote entrepreneurial activities. Through four studies, implicit research methods and SEM were applied to construct and verify the six-factor implicit evaluation model of the entrepreneurial environment in Dongguan. In Study 1, from 11 unstructured interviews, 118 unstructured questionnaires and literature, 49 items were extracted to describe characteristics of an ideal entrepreneurial environment. In Study 2, from 217 semi-structured questionnaires, 6 factors including 28 items were obtained by EFA. In study 3, from 249 structured questionnaires, 6 factors including 21 items were revised by CFA. In study 4, the revised scale was applied to investigate feelings of Dongguan citizens on its entrepreneurial environment. it showed that the overall satisfaction score was at a relatively good level: 3.713. Among the six factors, satisfaction scores from high to low were: humanistic atmosphere: 3.927, life support: 3.870, market environment: 3.784, entrepreneurial resources: 3.704, professional services: 3.665 and support network: 3.359.
