Moreover, the influence of personal characteristics on entrepreneurial willingness has been highlighted, indicating that the acquisition of entrepreneurial resources has a significant positive impact, while the cooperation ability of entrepreneurs' personal characteristics plays a significant regulatory role (Xu et al, 2020). Additionally, the assessment and measurement of entrepreneurial traits provide a basis for entrepreneurial level and personal development planning, emphasizing the importance of understanding individual characteristics for entrepreneurial success (Ismail et al, 2018).…”

The evolution of entrepreneurial initiatives is a intricate process shaped by a multitude of factors. These factors span diverse dimensions, including the socioeconomic setting, educational programs, individual characteristics, and the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Entrepreneurial initiative encompasses the proactive and innovative pursuit of opportunities, reflecting an individual or a group's willingness to take risks and create value in various domains. Rooted in the entrepreneurial spirit, this initiative goes beyond conventional business ventures, extending to the realms of social, technological, and cultural innovation. Individuals who possess entrepreneurial initiative frequently display attributes like inventiveness, flexibility, and a readiness to take measured risks. Determining the factors that lead to the growth of entrepreneurial initiative can help investors, entrepreneurs, and policy makers create an environment that is conducive to innovation and expansion in the entrepreneurial sector. The aim of this paper is to determine the factors that are most important for the development of entrepreneurial initiatives, as well to clarify the potential effects that various factors can have on the evolution of entrepreneurial initiatives, providing a nuanced perspective rooted in current literature.

“…College students lack entrepreneurial and working experience, so their entrepreneurial willingness and behavior are mainly influenced by external factors, such as society and government. When the environment encourages and supports entrepreneurship, the entrepreneurial motivation of college students will be mobilized (Xu et al 2020). After comparing and analyzing the similarities and differences between necessity and opportunity entrepreneurship motivation, Yue (2014) found that entrepreneurship driven by opportunity were generally in the fields of science, technology, and innovation where entrepreneurial risks were high, while entrepreneurship driven by necessity were mostly concentrated in the field of traditional products or services, where there were fewer entrepreneurial risks, but their ability to resist risks was weaker, the initial entrepreneurial resources were less, and the entrepreneur's skills were weaker.…”

Entrepreneurial risk is an important factor that individuals must consider when starting their own business. The COVID-19 continues to rage, bringing great challenges to China’s economy and entrepreneurial activities. In this study, college students encounter greater entrepreneurial risks. There are two opposing views on the role of entrepreneurial risk in shaping individual entrepreneurial motivation: one view that risk is a threat, and the other view that entrepreneurial risk contains opportunity. Existing studies have discussed the issues from individual factors and environment factors, respectively, ignoring the combined effects of individual and environment factors. Person–situation transactions theory points out that individuals usually make their final behavior choices based on their comprehensive evaluation of environmental factors and themselves. Therefore, individual and environment factors should be integrated to investigate the effect of entrepreneurial risk on entrepreneurial motivation. Based on the person–situation transactions theory, this study establishes a theoretical model that entrepreneurial risk perception influences necessity and opportunity entrepreneurial motivation through entrepreneurial self-efficacy and discusses the moderating effect of entrepreneurship policy. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 595 fresh graduates from eight universities in China to obtain relevant data and the Structural Equation modelling was established to test the hypothesis. The results confirm that without the influence of external factors, college students regard entrepreneurial risk as a great threat, which not only weakens their entrepreneurial self-efficacy, but also reduces their necessity and opportunity entrepreneurial motivation. However, with the support of good entrepreneurial policies, entrepreneurial risk can be transformed into an opportunity to improve the entrepreneurs motivation driven by necessity of college students, but the impact on the opportunity motivation is not significant. This study deeply analyzes the dual characteristics of entrepreneurial risk perception in the process of shaping individual entrepreneurial motivation, expands the related research on entrepreneurial risk perception and entrepreneurial motivation, and has important implications for the government and universities to formulate entrepreneurial policies for college students.

“…Marks et al argued that ER could be classified at three levels: core, basic, and other, based on the value of resources [36]. Xu et al pointed out that core resources include three dimensions of management, human, and technology, and basic resources include two dimensions of capital and venue [37]. (2) In terms of outcome variables, previous studies have mainly dealt with entrepreneurial motivation, ESE, and entrepreneurial performance.…”

With the convergence of China’s “entrepreneurial society” and the “digital age,” part-time entrepreneurial behavior (PEB) has received widespread attention as a new form of labor relations and entrepreneurial paths. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) is an important indicator of entrepreneurs’ confidence in their skills and in coping with uncertain entrepreneurial challenges. However, studies on how ESE affects different types of PEB have not been thoroughly carried out. To fill the existing research gap, the primary objective of this paper is to thoroughly investigate the individual impact of three key factors, namely organizational management self-efficacy (OMSE), opportunity development self-efficacy (ODSE), and risk-taking self-efficacy (RTSE), on economic profit-driven part-time entrepreneurial behavior (EPEB) and self-value-driven part-time entrepreneurial behavior (SPEB), respectively. Based on the “cognition-environment-behavior” logic of triadic reciprocal determinism, this study also aims to examine the moderating effect of entrepreneurial resources (ERs) and attempt to understand how external factors regulate internal factors (OMSE, ODSE, and RTSE) to form the results of EPEB and SPEB. This study adopted a quantitative research approach with a questionnaire survey, taking 457 part-time entrepreneurs in 11 major cities as subjects. The main results show that (1) OMSE and ODSE have a positive effect on EPEB, while RTSE has an inverted U-shaped effect on it; (2) ODSE and RTSE have a positive effect on SPEB, and OMSE has an inverted U-shaped effect on it; and (3) ERs play a positive moderating role in the above processes. The results can not only effectively guide part-time entrepreneurs in PEB but also provide a reference for the government to improve part-time entrepreneurship policies.
