Sumario:This study follows the theoretical framework put forward by Robichaudon entrepreneurial motivation. The objective was to adapt the original French scale of 17 items into Spanish and to analyze its psychometric properties. The participants in the present study were 981 Spanishemployees (46.5 % men and 53.5 % women). After carrying out exploratory factor analyses and ESEM (RMSEA = .06; CFI = .95 and TLI = .95), revealed a structure comprised of three factors: Family security (α=.82), Independence and autonomy(α=.83), and Intrinsic motivations(α=.77). These three factors displayed adequate reliability. We also found evidenceof validity with regard to a series of external correlates and various scales that have to do with workaholism, irritation and burnout. The present scale may prove useful for adequately identifying entrepreneurial motivation
