Abstract:
In order to develop entrepreneurial strategies, having knowledge of the components that can affect and determine entrepreneurial income is critical. Using European social survey data, this paper examines the impact of education level of self-employed people on their entrepreneurial income in both direct and indirect way. In the indirect way, regarding to Schwartz' model, personal values play the role as a mediator in the relationship between education level and entrepreneurial income. The results show that conservation values, including security, conformity and tradition significantly and negatively affect entrepreneurial income. Meanwhile self-transcendence values, including benevolence and universalism positively and significantly affect entrepreneurial income. Finally, the results show no support for the association between openness to change and self-enhancement values and entrepreneurial income
