Entrepreneurship will influence the economic development of countries (Acs & Szerb, 2007；Wennekers & Thurik, 1999). This study tries to investigate the Self-efficacy, Career Commitment, Scientific Literacy, Happiness, Life Satisfaction and Personality Traits of entrepreneurs. This study uses the viewpoint of scientific literacy to explain the entrepreneurship and to choose the entrepreneurs who are older than 18 years old in Taiwan as samples. This study comprehends the process of starting up through the interview with 6 experts and the relevant some literatures. The questionnaires recovered 215 valid samples.

This study uses the dimensions of the research in Niu and Yang(2012) to confer entrepreneurship. The Cronbach’s α values are all above 0.781, it shows the scale has great validity and reliability. The result shows the scientific literacy of entrepreneurs will mediate effects the self-efficacy to career commitment, and the entrepreneurs whose personality traits are conscientiousness or openness to experience have much higher scores in scientific literacy. In life satisfaction, the entrepreneurs who are older than 30 years old or married have much higher scores. Because the items of scientific literacy scale is too many in Niu and Yang’s research, this study tries to reduce the items to form the entrepreneurship scale.
