Abstract
This study tested the thesis of the “jack of all trades”— whether individuals with a variety of skills are more likely to pursue entrepreneurship—on early stage formation of ventures. It also studied if entrepreneurial passion would heighten the effect of variety of skills to make would-be entrepreneurs keener to pursue the startup process. Taking advantage of a longitudinal entrepreneurship training project, we tested our propositions with a sample of 215 participated waged employees. The findings show that skill variety positively influenced participants to form teams towards new venturing in the program, and such effect was stronger among passionate participants.
