| dc.description.abstract | This master thesis, as a part of a project on business trainings in Tanzania, investigates the
effects of these trainings on change in mindset and soft skills of microentrepreneurs in Dar
es Salaam. It focuses on following dimensions: Creativity, Individualism, Locus of Control,
Need for Achievement, Dispositional Optimism and Trust/Relationship. The significant
differences are found on the number of dimensions. Entrepreneurs who took part in the
training have more internal locus of control, are more creative and have greater need for
achievement. There are also significant differences in some psychological variables between
genders. All dimensions except for individualism show predicted direction of relation
between groups with and without training. | en |
