Sažetak
Entrepreneurship means much more than an increase in output and income per capita. It includes the initiation and establishment of a change in business and society as a whole. Therefore, the study of entrepreneurial activity and the role of the entrepreneur is of great importance for today's society. The environment in which we live today is characterized by ever-present change. Everything is fast and volatile, the way of life, creating and working. Business organizations operate in a very complex and dynamic environment. Because of the dynamics and uncertainty of the environment, managers of today's businesses are required to have a proactive, entrepreneurial way of thinking. In order to adopt it, first the proactive way of thinking should be clearly defined. The aim of this study is to determine the efficiency and accuracy of existing tools for measuring entrepreneurial and non-entrepreneurial thinking. On the basis of these findings to define the entrepreneurial with the goal of its more efficient adoption. Qualitative research methods were used - analysis of secondary databases, and overview and a critical review of recent theoretical discussions. There is a growing scientific interest of psychology in entrepreneurial thinking through analysis of behaviour of management in conditions of uncertainty and dynamism. It uses a variety of methods and tools. In this paper, through an analysis of the existing literature, we will present the analysis of the Entrepreneurial Predisposition Questionnaire (UPS) which was formed by combining the "General measure of Enterprising Tendency” (GET test) and Koh's questionnaire as well as questionnaires of Mike Haynie "General Measure of Adaptive Cognition". Critical analysis of the results of these questionnaires in the synthesis with the theoretical discussion in this paper may serve as an aid for vocational guidance or as an educational tool that can direct respondents to traits that are associated with entrepreneurship.
