The purpose of this study is to create a reliable and valid tool to measure the attitudes of academicians towards the university entrepreneurial environment. The participants consist of 686 academics who work in the first 50 universities in the 2020 TUBITAK Entrepreneurial and Innovative University Index. In the development of the assessment tool, a seven-stage model was followed, consisting of determining the purpose of the test and the features to be measured, literature review and creation of an item pool, examination of technical supervision and language intelligibility, obtaining expert opinion (scope validity), pilot application and determining the psychometric properties of the test (validity and reliability). Factor analysis was used to examine the construct validity of the scale. After confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses, it was seen that the scale showed a one-dimensional structure consisting of 19 items. The Cronbach's Alpha, Mean Explained Variance (AVE) and Composite Reliability (CR) values were calculated as 0.98, 0.74 and 0.98. As a result of the findings of this study, it was concluded that the University Entrepreneurial Environment Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool.
