“…The findings also support the UET, which suggest the importance of viewpoint of the management in forecasting the outcome of the firm (Child, 1972;Hambrick, 2007). The strengths of embracing pro-activeness in business, risk-taking ability and innovativeness (Chatterjee et al, 2019) support tech startup entrepreneurs to accept bricolage, which prepares them to identify workable solutions for the emerging challenges. The results also show that higher levels of bricolage behavior among tech startup entrepreneurs led to a better level of overall resource advantage that conforms to the study (Steffens et al, 2013).…”

Purpose This paper aims to study is to empirically investigate the role of entrepreneurial orientation (EOR), entrepreneurial bricolage (EBR), technology orientation (TOR), sustainability orientation (SOR) and Trust (TUR) in the sustainable enterprise performance (SEP) of tech startups in India. It uses a framework grounded in the EBR theory, upper echelon theory and resource-based view theory. Design/methodology/approach A primary survey was conducted using a structured questionnaire amongst 285 sample respondents from 425 tech startups and the data were analyzed using the partial least squares-structural equation modeling technique. Findings The findings suggest that EOR and TOR significantly influence SEP. SOR and TUR do not significantly affect the SEP. EBR plays a significant mediating role between TOR and EOR and SEP in the context of Indian technology-based startups. Research limitations/implications This cross-sectional study has a geographic limitation as it was conducted in Mumbai, Bangalore and Pune and their suburbs. As this study was carried out in the context of tech startups in a developing country such as India, caution needs to be exercised while generalizing the findings of this study to other regions, countries and cultural contexts. Practical implications This study highlights the significance of TOR and EOR in the long-term SEP to the budding entrepreneurs who have strong EOR and deploy EBR strategy to start their new business ventures. It also infers that few of the reasons for the failure of tech startups are because of the lack of attention to TUR and SOR. Originality/value This study has a novel contribution as it empirically validates the role of multiple constructs such as EOR, TOR, TUR, SOR and EBR toward SEP in a resource-constrained startup environment in the context of a developing country such as India.

“…However, the all-inclusive outcome of the investigation has not yet been proven. The likely reason may be a lack of critically evaluating numerous factors accountable for the success (Chatterjee et al , 2019). Hence, this study concentrated on subjective career success, operationalised as having three independent dimensions: career satisfaction, perceived career achievement and perceived financial attainment (Lau et al , 2007).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of grit (consistency of interest and perseverance of effort) on entrepreneurial career success (career satisfaction, perceived career achievement and perceived financial attainment) through the role of resilience. Design/methodology/approach The study was cross-sectional, and the data were collected using questionnaires from 111 entrepreneurs in Nigeria who have been in business for over five years and were selected using purposive sampling technique. The study used Smart-PLS to assess the measurement and structural model. Findings The perseverance of effort was related to all the aspects of career success as well as resilience. But consistency of interest was positively related to only perceived financial attainment. It also predicted resilience. Resilience was also related to all the facets of career success. All three mediation hypotheses were supported. Research limitations/implications The study delivered fascinating understandings into the structures of grit. The Western conceptualisation of grit may not be valid in a collectivist society where consistency is not that very much considered. Practical implications The study helps to further validate grit in the entrepreneurship field; the construct is a facilitator of entrepreneurial action and an indispensable source of energy that can revitalise the entrepreneur along the arduous road to success. Originality/value The two components of grit can have a dissimilar influence on different outcomes – as prior investigations, although recognising that the two components are conceptually dissimilar, have rarely studied them so empirically.

“…Internal locus of control is related to entrepreneurship because owners must believe that their own actions determine the rewards (business outcomes) they obtain. Many literature studies have revealed through empirical findings that internal locus of control is an entrepreneurial characteristic that has the major drive toward entrepreneurial activity (Chatterjee, Das and Srivastava, 2019).…”

“…Some researchers claimed that innovation is a primary intention in putting up a business venture. Entrepreneurs were reported to be more innovative than the non-entrepreneurs (Chatterjee, et al, 2019;Gurol and Atsan, 2006;Thomas and Mueller, 2000;Koh, 1996).…”

Purpose: to explore the entrepreneurial profile of the Egyptian entrepreneurs, small and Micro business owner-managers. The research, also, permit further understanding of entrepreneurial personality characteristics of the Egyptian entrepreneurs. Research Design: In this study, six traits, namely locus of control, independence, network, wealth valuation, optimism and innovativeness, are used to define the entrepreneurial profile of the Egyptian entrepreneurs. Six hypotheses were formed. The EFA and CFA were used. Entrepreneurial traits resulting from Factor analysis were examined according to MANOVA Test. Sample and Data: A convenience and judgemental sample of 607 Egyptian entrepreneurs and business owner-managers was selected from the Egyptian private sector population and a questionnaire was used for data collection. Findings: The research results indicated that the Egyptian Entrepreneurs and Owner-Managers have the following entrepreneurial traits, respectively: Wealth, Innovation, Network, Optimism, Independence, and Locus of control. The Egyptian Entrepreneurs and Owner-Managers have a paragmatic and realistic entrepreneurial personality. Originality: This study contributes to understanding the Egyptian entrepreneurial society. It also explores the paragmatic and realistic nature of the Egyptian entrepreneurs. Research Limitation/ Implication: Conclusions are limited by the non-propability sample (a convenience and judgemental sample). Rather, the results enforce the idea that psychological characteristics (trait approach) are still valid to portray the profile of the Egyptian entrepreneurial society. The results can be used by the Egyptian decision makers to articulate the entreepreneurial policies and entrepreneurship education programs.
