“…Almost all previous studies only focused on the antecedents of entrepreneurial intention (Krueger, Reilley, & Carsud, 2000;Wach & Bilan, 2021). However, the linkage between entrepreneurial intention and actual behaviour has not been explored yet in recent studies (Gubik & Bartha, 2018;Mohammed, Zubairu, & Oni, 2021;Nowiński et al, 2020), while investigating this relationship was determined as novel in the research stream to contribute to better knowledge about the process of business venture creation (Gieure et al, 2020). Indeed, Neneh (2019) stresses that such research limits our current understanding of entrepreneurial behaviours as increasing evidence indicates that not all entrepreneurial intentions are transformed into actual start-up behaviours (Shirokova, Osiyevkyy, & Bogatyreva, 2016), especially in crisis conditions because of a disease outbreak (Giones et al, 2020;Ratten, 2020).…”

The major objectives of the article were to explore the effects of the fear and anxiety of Covid-19 and business opportunity recognition on start-up self-efficacy, entrepreneurial intention, and behaviour, as well as to test entrepreneurial intention-behaviour association. Research Design & Methods:The study was performed by means of an online survey questionnaire conducted on 405 students at a Vietnamese university. The survey questionnaire was developed based on prior research. Structural equation modelling (SEM) was utilised to test the research model and hypotheses. Findings: The results illustrated that the fear and anxiety of Covid-19 have a negative impact on start-up self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention, while business opportunity recognition is strongly and positively correlated with entrepreneurial self-efficacy, entrepreneurial intention, and behaviour. In addition, entrepreneurial intention is found to be the most important antecedent to predict actual start-up behaviour whereas entrepreneurial intention significantly mediates the association between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial behaviour. Implications & Recommendations:The study offers practical contributions for both universities and policymakers to foster youths' entrepreneurial activities and manage the negative outcome of Covid-19 on students' mental health. Contribution & Value Added: This research contributes to the entrepreneurship literature by addressing the notable gap when testing the linkages between entrepreneurial intention and behaviour. Furthermore, the finding confirms that the fear and anxiety of Covid-19 can decrease entrepreneurial self-efficacy, intention, and behaviour, while business opportunity recognition fosters entrepreneurial activities.

“…Indeed, if the relationship between ADHD symptoms, impulsivity and the rational cognitive process of entrepreneurship is proved clearly, a start-up business can be seen as a career choice for students who exhibit extensive ADHD symptoms. In other worda, business ventures could be a great way for individuals who want to use their talents most effectively (Yu et al, 2019), thus contributing to creating value for society and improving individual well-being (Gubik and Bartha, 2018;Loan et al, 2021;Nowi nski et al, 2020).…”

PurposeThis study aims to integrate predictions from clinical psychology and UPPS impulsivity with the theory of planned behaviors (TPB) to draw a conceptual framework and test the prediction that attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms, impulsivity would contribute to the prediction of the reasoned cognitive process of entrepreneurship over and above key predictors from an extended TPB model.Design/methodology/approachThis study utilized a sample of 2,482 students from 14 universities/institutes in Vietnam; confirmatory factor analysis was employed to test the validity and reliability. Then, regression analysis with PROCESS macro approach (5,000 bootstrap sample and 95% confidence interval) was employed to estimate the association paths and multiple mediators.FindingsThe study reveals that ADHD symptoms and impulsivity substantially contribute to the exploration of an entrepreneurial intention throughout TPB predictors, with those higher in ADHD symptoms and impulsivity having higher intentions to engage in business venturing. Moreover, UPPS impulsiveness might valuably be incorporated with TPB predictors while predicting behaviors that are often examined as the process of rational cognitive strategies business venturing.Practical implicationsThis study showed that a start-up business can be seen as a career choice for students who exhibit extensive ADHD symptoms to use their talents effectively, thus contributing to creating value for society and improving personal well-being.Originality/valueThis article stood to make contributions to entrepreneurship literature by investigating the effects of ADHD symptoms, four impulsivity traits on an entrepreneurial intention via three precursors in TPB, including attitude toward entrepreneurship, subjective norms and perceived behavioral control.

“…For entrepreneurial activity, the increase of entrepreneurial intentions is key (Ajzen, 1991;Galanakis & Giourka, 2017), even though not the only factor (Gubik & Bartha, 2018). Studying what drives entrepreneurial intentions is therefore fundamental to develop entrepreneurship (Gaspar & Pinho, 2007).…”

The purpose of this paper is to measure entrepreneurial intentions with a clear timeframe for the intended behavior, thus going beyond a measure of attitude. The main focus is on those who refuse the idea of becoming entrepreneurs, and to understand the reasons for this refusal, something literature has ignored so far. Samples were collected in 2008 and2018allowing for a study on the progress and therefore revealing the results of the effort put in entrepreneurship education. Our data shows that a) trusting one’s own skills, b) valuing own job creation, c) valuing being one’s own boss and d) valuing the independence associated with being an entrepreneur, all contribute to student’s willingness to become entrepreneurs. The results provide some important lessons for entrepreneurship education programs, because individuals who refuse: • are less motivated to career factors and more worried about life quality aspects than would-be entrepreneurs. • see more obstacles to creating startups than would-be entrepreneurs. • trust less in their entrepreneurial skills than would-be entrepreneurs. Implications for theory and practice are proposed, as these results can be used to improve entrepreneurship education. This new view on potential entrepreneurs’ individual choices is presented as an advancement to the theory and to the present understanding of entrepreneurship.
