Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the reliability and validity of a new scale for measuring vocational knowledge towards entrepreneurship. The reliability will be examined using the Cronbach alpha. A fixed Cronbach alpha scale of 0.7 was used as the standard scale. The study also examined constructive validity, convergent validity and the divergent validity using the exploratory factor analysis. The study consisted of 631 participants from five colleges in Northern Saudi Arabia. The study indicated that the new scale for vocational knowledge have a convergent validity as it was able to examine the degree to which the operationalization is similar to other operationalization that it theoretically should be similar. The study also indicated that the questionnaire is reliable and is able to give reliable and consistent results to the study.
