Though numerous studies have focused on the relationship between institutional environment shape entrepreneurship, yet it is not clear enough the effects of institutional constraints and institutional trust on future business climate. This study aims to investigate these relationships in the context of a transition country. The research combines two perspectives: institution theory and institutional trust. The data are collected using a face-to-face survey. Three ordinal regressions were performed in a dataset of 393 small and medium-sized enterprises from Albania. The results contribute into understanding the nature of entrepreneurship in a transition setting. After controlling for firm characteristics, analyses revealed that future business climate is negatively Author influenced by legal environment-related constraints, and positively by trust in government. Thus, favourable business climate can be achieved by applying not heavily business legislation and regulation framework, and by building trust in institution. This paper offers insights for scholars studying entrepreneurship and institutional environments.

The extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) model extensively explains consumers' behaviour. However, from the service providers' perspective, understanding the role of generational cohorts in technology acceptance is necessary. The paper explores this role in mobile banking adoption by investigating its moderating effect on the linkages between the antecedents of the UTAUT2 model and behavioural intention. The article uses the partial least square method and regressions with generation as a multi-categorical moderator to investigate the moderating effect in a sample of 959 individuals from South-Eastern Europe. Findings reveal that generations govern most of the linkages between the antecedents of UTAUT2 and behavioural intention. These relationships were stronger for generation Y than generation 𝑍, while there were no differences between generation 𝑋 and 𝑌. The paper contributes to the literature by providing theoretical and practical insights in the context of developing countries.
