“…Individuals born in a similar time frame tend to share common core values and behaviours that are the result of shared formative experiences they have had (Thangavel et al, 2019). Moreover, members of the same generation share similar values, opinions and attitudes (Cavalli, 2004), all of which have a significant impact on EO (Franceško et al, 2022). Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that EO varies between different generational cohorts.…”

Current research on entrepreneurial orientation is mostly from a firm-level perspective, focuses on developed countries, and recent studies treat entrepreneurial orientation as a uni-dimensional construct. Studies on entrepreneurial orientation from a generational perspective mostly use a comparison between two groups (young and old) and neglect the well-accepted classification of generational cohorts. This study therefore examines the individual dimensions of entrepreneurial orientation (risk-taking, innovativeness and proactivity) among the Baby Boomers, Generations X, Y, and Z in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Data were collected through a cross-sectional survey that yielded a sample of 1,082 adults from Bosnia and Herzegovina. One-way analysis of variance with Brown-Forsythe, Welch’s F, and least significant post-hoc tests were used to test the hypotheses. The results show some evidence that individual entrepreneurial orientation varies significantly between generations, at different levels of significance. Risk-taking generally decreases with older generations, as does innovativeness, except when comparing Generations X and Y, while proactiveness increases with older generations. The study provides valuable information for future entrepreneurs, business incubators and potential investors.

“…Gaile et al (2020) proposed that an individual's values play a significant role in shaping his career choices. Value systems, both personal (Hueso et al, 2020) and work-related (France sko et al, 2021), act as key antecedents of the Entrepreneurial Intention (EI) of an individual as they relate to an individual's core beliefs, motivations, and goals. Work values play a significant role in the identification and evaluation of entrepreneurial opportunities based on the preferred behaviours and goals of an individual.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this empirical study is to enable a better understanding of the construct sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial intentions (SEI) and thereby promote sustainable entrepreneurship. It aims to examine the significance of work values (extrinsic rewards, intrinsic rewards and job security) as antecedents of SEI and to test the mediating effect of three constructs derived from the theory of planned behaviour – attitude towards sustainability, perceived entrepreneurial desirability and perceived entrepreneurial feasibility on the relationships between work values and SEI.Design/methodology/approachConfirmatory factor analysis and exploratory factor analysis were performed using analysis of moment structures v27 and statistical package for social science v28 on data obtained from the survey of young individuals of India. The respondents were students enrolled in higher education programmes.FindingsAll the identified antecedents (extrinsic rewards, intrinsic rewards, job security and theory of planned behaviour constructs) were found to be statistically significant. The partial mediating effect of the theory of planned behaviour constructs was also reported.Originality/valueThis empirical work leads to the theoretical advancement of the emerging construct, SEI, by presenting evidence of the significant individual-level antecedents of the construct. The results lead to recommendations for policymakers and educators to design strategies to strengthen SEI, thereby expanding the adoption of sustainable entrepreneurship.

“…Entrepreneurship is the second social-economic-psychological activity which we use as an example, and whose main traits are permeated with the significance of achieving success. The achievement motive is regarded as one of the psychological potentials necessary for successful entrepreneurship (Franceško, Nedeljković, & Njegomir, 2022). This assumption is based on the analogy between the nature of entrepreneurship and a separate achievement motive structure.…”

This research was focused on reducing the scale measuring the general achievement motive MOP2002. The initial version of the instrument MOP2002 contains 55 items and is in the Likert- type scale format. The starting point of this research was based on the assumption about a four-factor structure of the general achievement motive established in our previous research. Both quantitative and qualitative studies were applied in the process of reduction. Each of these studies was conducted on a separate sample – exploratory factor analysis N = 2846, and confirmatory factor analysis N = 294 – and four focus groups, each including 15 respondents. Based on the obtained results, 20 items were selected, and they comprise a shortened version of the scale called MOP20. Designed in this way, the scale can also take the form of the observation protocol while assessing the general achievement motive. It was ascertained that the instrument had a unique object of measurement. The factor analyses results showed the stability of the four-factor structure of the achievement motive. The parameters of representativeness, reliability and homogeneity indicate that MOP20 possesses satisfactory psychometric properties. Instrument validity was checked by means of correlational analysis of the general achievement motive and dimensions of time perspective, self-efficacy and locus of control. The obtained correlation coefficients indicate a satisfactory validity of the scale MOP20, and are highly interpretable when explaining and considering the psychological space of the factors significant for achieving success in activities such as sports and entrepreneurship.
