Abstract
This study aims to examine the perceived bureaucracy's homogeneity between private and public higher institutes in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia. This study also aims to examine the relationship between perceived bureaucracy and entrepreneurial inclination among educators in these higher institutions. A survey was conducted surveying 15 institutions from March 2006 to June 2006. A total of 158 usable questionnaires were collected for this study. The method of analysis was linear regression, multiple regression and hierarchical regression with independent sample test. It was found that the private and public institutes were homogenous. Divisions of Labor, Procedural Specification and Promotions based on Technical Competence have a significant relationship with entrepreneurial inclination. Division of Labor has a negative and most significant relationship with entrepreneurial inclination as well as each of its dimensions that are innovativeness, risk taking and proactiveness. The moderator; age, gender, working experience and education have no moderating effect between perceived bureaucracy and entrepreneurial inclination.
