OverviewThe study of entrepreneurship is important because small and medium-sized enterprises are the major agents of economic growth and employment (99 percent of European companies are small or medium-sized and provide 66 percent of the working places). From a psychological point of view, this study is interesting because small-scale entrepreneurs have to work on a complex set of tasks, such as development of the organization, leadership, and organizational issues. The common theme of this special issue is to look at personality predictors of success and entrepreneurial behaviour. All the articles in this issue take as a starting point a sophisticated personality concept that was traditionally done. Thus, it is hoped that this approach to personality will be seen as much more fruitful within entrepreneurship research than it has been in the one used until now.
