This exploratory study examined the impact of values on commercial and social entrepreneurial intent. Previous studies that have investigated individual variables related to tendencies to engage in entrepreneurship have primarily focused on demographic, personality trait, and contextual variables. However, these studies have added little predictive value to the field; therefore, researchers have begun studying the antecedents of entrepreneurial intentions through the lens of the theory of planned behavior. This study, with a cross-sectional sample of adults (N = 461), adds incremental understanding to individual differences in entrepreneurial intentions beyond the theory of planned behavior by exploring the relationships between values and entrepreneurial intentions. Regression analysis indicated little support that values have a significant direct effect on commercial entrepreneurial intent. Results of regression analysis indicated that self-transcendence and conservatism have a significant direct effect on social entrepreneurial intent. This study examined a competing model where attitudes mediated the relationship between the two higher-order values of self-enhancement and openness to change and the two types of entrepreneurial intent---commercial and social. Results of this study found that the effects of self-enhancement and openness to change were greater than the other values related to commercial entrepreneurial intent; whereas, the effects of self-transcendence on social entrepreneurial intent were significantly greater than self-enhancement. These results support the assertions by Ascigil (2012) that those with social entrepreneurial intentions have different values than their commercial counterparts. Results of data analyses provide a more robust view of the impact that personal values have on an individual's intentions to launch commercial and social ventures. Theoretical and practical implications of these results are presented, and suggestions for future research are discussed.
