Authors:Aleciane da Silva Moreira Ferreira, Elisabeth Loiola, Sônia Maria Guedes Gondim, Cícero Roberto Pereira First page: 7 Abstract: The Journal of Entrepreneurship, Ahead of Print. The objective of this article is to analyse the effect of entrepreneurial competence and planning guidance on the relations between university students’ entrepreneurial attitude and entrepreneurial intention. In this correlational study, the empirical model was tested through Structural Equation Modeling on a sample of 2,771 university students via an online survey at a federal higher education institution in northeastern Brazil. The results point to the moderation effect only of entrepreneurial competence on the relation between entrepreneurial attitude and intention, with this relationship being stronger in students who perceive themselves as more competent. We conclude that self-perception of entrepreneurial skills strengthens the effects of positive attitudes on entrepreneurial career intention, which adds to other evidence of the importance of context and entrepreneurial education for engaging in that career.

Authors:Vanita Yadav, Jeemol Unni, Ravikiran Naik, Swati Dutta First page: 30 Abstract: The Journal of Entrepreneurship, Ahead of Print. Gender inequality is an obstacle to inclusive growth, and literature reveals shortcomings in the basic entrepreneurial assumption of equal access to resources, support and economic opportunities for women. International bodies have emphasised the need to examine gender differentials at various levels like, country, organisational and individual levels. Our study is a novel attempt in this direction and aims to build a comprehensive understanding of gender differentials in entrepreneurship using multi-method research design. We analyse and integrate findings from the macro-level using national level datasets (NSSO and Economic Census) and the micro-level using surveys (primary data and GEM India data). Our results note a gender equality lacuna, calling for the need to include meaningful sex-disaggregated data in national surveys, the entrepreneurial intentions of women, behavioural traits impacting women entrepreneurs, the importance of entrepreneurship education, fear of failure, self-confidence and the need for role models. We propose a model of macro and micro factors impacting women entrepreneurship in developing countries.

Authors:Sasmita Swain, Sri Krishna Sudheer Patoju First page: 65 Abstract: The Journal of Entrepreneurship, Ahead of Print. The present research is designed to evaluate factors influencing the decision of youth in India to choose social entrepreneurship as a career option. A sample of 200 students pursuing a master’s in social entrepreneurship was drawn from three Indian universities offering social entrepreneurship courses. Based on literature review and in-depth interview data, 16 measured variables were identified, and a 5-point Likert scale was constructed and validated. The survey data were analysed using the principal component analysis (PCA) method. The final factor structure extracted four (i.e., personal, social, institutional and other) factors. The study concludes that the state needs to create a conducive environment to motivate students to pursue social entrepreneurship as a career option.

Authors:Reeti Kulshrestha, Arunaditya Sahay, Subhanjan Sengupta First page: 90 Abstract: The Journal of Entrepreneurship, Ahead of Print. Social entrepreneurship as a prosocial phenomenon focuses on the upliftment of the vulnerable and marginalised through entrepreneurship. Social enterprises are mission-oriented often suffering from mission-related challenges that accompany duality in its form. This in turn raises concern over sustainability for social enterprises as they begin to focus more on the economic objectives rather than the social value they originally intended to create. The objective of the study is not only to carry out a systematic literature review of the mission of a social enterprise but to also come out with drivers of mission engagement that contribute to social enterprise sustainability. Drawing upon past literature covering vast databases like Scopus and Proquest, and our understanding from reputed ABDC listed journal articles, we propose a conceptual framework of mission engagement for social enterprise sustainability that offers a fresh perspective on mission duality. We make a three-fold contribution to social entrepreneurship literature with a categorisation of literature for better conceptual clarity on mission-related concepts in social entrepreneurship, four constituents of mission engagement in social enterprises and three drivers to creating a sustainable social enterprise through mission engagement. We propose the notion of ‘sustainable social enterprises’, which derives maximum benefit from cross-sectoral collaboration, active engagement in building strong social networks and building on social capital to bring about transformative societal change.

Authors:Rocco Palumbo First page: 121 Abstract: The Journal of Entrepreneurship, Ahead of Print. Humane entrepreneurship postulates an innovative strategic posture assuming that entrepreneurs should concomitantly focus on the enterprise, the human and the societal cycles of the firm to achieve organisational excellence. Scholars have stressed the economic and societal gains triggered by humane entrepreneurship. However, little is known about its implications for work–life balance (WLB). The article fills in this gap, shedding light into the dark side of humane entrepreneurship on the entrepreneurs’ ability to handle the interplay between work and life. Adopting a humane entrepreneurship posture negatively affected the ability to achieve a WLB, paving the way for work-to-life conflicts. Work engagement and subjective well-being moderated the side effects of humane entrepreneurship on WLB. Tailored initiatives are required to address the overlapping between work and life generated by humane entrepreneurship. Inter alia, employees’ empowerment and the improvement of organisational culture are needed to foster the effective implementation of humane entrepreneurship.

Authors:Elisabet Ruiz-Dotras, Josep Lladós-Masllorens First page: 153 Abstract: The Journal of Entrepreneurship, Ahead of Print. The complexity of finances and access to financial markets is one of the main challenges facing an entrepreneur. However, not many studies examine the effect of financial skills on entrepreneurial intentions. Our research describes venture intentions, considering motivations, contextual factors and personal traits in different clusters, based on the strong sense of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and the levels of financial literacy and numeracy skills. Results demonstrate that financial and numeracy skills and self-efficacy shape different profiles of potential entrepreneurs. The study shows that social motivations exert a favourable impact on entrepreneurial intentions only for those who firmly believe in their abilities or have high financial and numeracy skills. For those without outstanding skills or high self-efficacy, contextual factors play a key role in the decision to launch a new venture.

Authors:Neharika Vohra, Supriya Sharma, Nobin Thomas First page: 184 Abstract: The Journal of Entrepreneurship, Ahead of Print. This article describes an experiential, immersive course in teaching for entrepreneurship in a business school. The course requires the students to set up and operate a business, build on their experiences, reflect upon it regularly and relate it to concepts in business and entrepreneurship. The design of the course, allowing for an immersive experience and reflection, is guided by Kolb’s experiential learning method, process philosophy and effectual thinking. Five themes of students’ learning, as generated from the weekly reflections submitted in the course, are presented. The themes primarily dwell upon attitudes, failures and experience of effectuation in operating an early-stage business. Insights on teaching for entrepreneurship, generated from the course and reflection of the instructors’ experience, are presented. Questions relevant for theory and practice on/of teaching for entrepreneurship are raised. Citation: The Journal of Entrepreneurship PubDate: 2022-01-26T04:57:41Z DOI: 10.1177/09713557211069333
