COVID-19 lockdown measures have largely been effective in curtailing the spread of the disease. Yet, its other effects have been profound and pervasive, exposing gender inequalities, reducing psychological sustainability, and causing economic hardship. Entrepreneurship, with its potential for effecting social good and sustainable economic development, has too been changed with studies finding a drop in entrepreneurship during the crisis. Yet, it is unknown how entrepreneurship may change after COVID-19 and lockdown measures are eased. We study changes in attitudes toward entrepreneurship by testing two samples of Singaporean undergraduates before the implementation (N = 242) and after the easing (N = 280) of lockdown measures. In doing so, we contribute to research about attitudes toward entrepreneurship, often side-lined in Theory of Planned Behaviour entrepreneurship studies which tend to focus instead on entrepreneurship intentions. Our findings indicate that opportunity-motivated, or pull, entrepreneurship may have become more positive after lockdown measures are eased. Next, women hold stronger beliefs in entrepreneurship’s capacity to fulfil agentic-type goals (e.g., power, achievement). For both genders, the extent to which entrepreneurship can achieve prosocial, communal-type goals is a key post-lockdown determinant of positive attitudes to entrepreneurship. Our findings provide clues into what to expect regarding post-lockdown entrepreneurship, and bears practical implications for entrepreneurship educators and policymakers.

Research over the last 10 years on Latin square tasks (LST) suggests a significant potential for their use in assessing fluid cognition. In the current work, we outline the LST and the more complex Greco-Latin square task (GLST). The objectives were (1) to validate the appropriateness of LST as measures of fluid cognition in business managers and (2) to demonstrate the separation of the LST into working memory and deductive reasoning components. Participants were 264 midlevel managers from four large international companies. Consistent with expectations, SEM analyses indicated that the GLST and the LST are highly correlated with fluid intelligence (Gf), and that working memory load could be differentiated from reasoning load in the LST and provided incremental predictive validity of Gf. Results are supportive of our expectations and provide evidence that LST are appropriate for psychological assessment as they are based on a strong theory of fluid cognition, have sound psychometric properties, and have substantial pragmatic utility in terms of the capacity for rapid item generation.
