Should I Stay or Should I Go? Career Choice Intentions of Students with Family Business Background

Personal and motivational patterns of intentional founders have been researched in great depth; however, antecedents to career choices of intentional successors have been conspicuously missing in entrepreneurship research. By drawing on theory of planned behavior, we investigate how intentional founders, successors, and employees differ in terms of locus of control and entrepreneurial self-efficacy as well as independence and innovation motives. We find that transitive likelihood of career intent depends on degree of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and the independence motive. Unexpectedly, we see that high levels of internal locus of control lead to a preference of employment, which challenges traditional entrepreneurship research and suggests that the feasibility of an entrepreneurial career path does not automatically make it desirable. Our findings suggest that students with family business background are pessimistic about being in control in an entrepreneurial career, but optimistic about their efficacy to pursue an entrepreneurial career.

A report to the Illinois General Assembly pursuant to the Illinois Energy Assistance Act 305 ILCS 20 : Supplemental Low-Income Energy Assistance Fund expenditures : January 1998 through June 2003.

The Supplemental Low Income Energy Assistance Fund is the depository for energy assistance charges collected by utilities and participating municipal utilities and electric cooperatives authorized by the Electric Customer Choice and Rate Relief Act of 1997 (220 ILCS 5). The energy assistance charges provided a nonfederal funding stream to the Department for use in providing energy related assistance to low-income households under the Illinois Low Income Home Energy Assistance and Illinois Home Weatherization (LIHEAP) Programs. Since the changes were imposed in January of 1998, $406,683,769 has been deposited into the Fund through December 2003. Of this amount, the Department has spent $326,137,510 to provide energy assistance to 802,091 households; $33,845,784 to weatherize 6,584 homes; and $32,570,739 to cover administrative expenses.

In the fall of 2003, Governor Blagojevich unveiled Opportunity Returns, a regional economic development plan that is the most aggressive, comprehensive approach to creating jobs in Illinois' history. The Governor divided the state into 10 economic development regions -- finding areas with common economic strengths and needs, and is developing plans for each region that include specific actions to make these regions more accessible and more attractive to business. This grassroots effort is a product of significant outreach with economic development leaders, local elected officials and business and community leaders. Each Opportunity Returns economic development plan is designed to be flexible and effective and tailored to deliver real results that local businesses will see, feel, and hopefully profit from.
