Abstract
This paper reference to the domestic and foreign scholars similar study, using factor analysis to identify the determinants of regional entrepreneurial culture of the six dimensions include: internal locus of control, hardworking, proactiveness, innovativeness, acceptance of risk and mercantilism. Than we use this model to compare the regional entrepreneurial cultural between Jiangxi and Zhejiang, the statistical results is as follow: compared of means, the Zhejiang´s non entrepreneurs are higher than Jiangxi´s in all six dimensions. There are significant differences in four aspects: acceptance of risk, mercantilism, innovativeness and proactiveness. On the other hand, we find Jiangxi entrepreneurs do better than Zhejiang entrepreneurs in acceptance of risk, perhaps this is because of the atmosphere of Jiangxi that need more adventurous. In addition, There are significant differences in mercantilism between entrepreneurs from Zhejiang and Jiangxi (T =-3.133, Sig: 0.002). ZheGan entrepreneurs have no significant differences in internal locus of control-innovativeness, proactiveness and hardworking, perhaps this just shows that most entrepreneurs have these four qualities.
