Abstract
This paper presents the adaptation and validation of the Entrepreneurial Self-efficacy (ESE) scale in a sample of more than one thousand Spanish university students. This scale was originally developed by De Noble, Jung and Ehrlich (1999) in order to evaluate person's beliefs about his or her own capability to create and successfully manage a new business. The Spanish version of the scale is made of the following subscales: 1) Developing a new product, 2) Managing Human Resources, 3) Initiating investor relationships, 4) Building an innovative environment, and 5) Working under stress. The results show that the scale obtains high reliability and predicts students' intention of developing their career through self-employment
