Summary/Abstract: It has been established that entrepreneurial knowledge and job stress are related to entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial intentions. However, the effects of job stress and knowledge about establishing a business on the willingness to be an entrepreneur are under-researched. The aim of this research is to examine both of these effects and to determine whether job stress moderates the relationship between knowledge about establishing a business and the willingness to be an entrepreneur. Data from 472 whitecollar employees is used in hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The results show that both knowledge about establishing a business and job stress are positively related to the willingness to be an entrepreneur. Moreover, job stress negatively moderates the relationship between knowledge about establishing a business and the willingness to be an entrepreneur.
