“…The development of citizens in a country is based on education at home and training at school. The effect of ES on ESE confirmed in the current study is similar to that reported in South Africa by Neneh (2022) and van der Westhuizen and Goyayi (2019); also, similar to results by Shane and Venkataraman (2000) in a review, Pukkinen et al (2023) in secondary schools students in Finland, in undergraduate students in India (Subhadrammal et al, 2023), Spain (Arranz et al, 2017). Vietnam (Hoang et al, 2021;Nguyen et al, 2021); also, the outcomes are similar to the study of Preedy et al (2020) in professors in United Kingdom and (Elliott et al, 2020) in Canada.…”

“…This relationship is consistent with the existing literature. Previous research, such as Pukkinen et al (2023), has highlighted the importance of extracurricular support in the development of entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Our results support these findings and contribute to the understanding of how education and activities outside the classroom can influence individuals' confidence in their abilities to undertake green initiatives.…”

There is a gap in the view of teachers about green entrepreneurship intention in high school students. The objective of the current article is to evaluate the factors that explain from private high schools in Peru the intention of green entrepreneurship from the view of teachers. It was carried out with a sample size of 163 teachers from fifth high schools. The research model was evaluated by partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) which is a technique for multivariate analysis. Extracurricular support and country support showed an effect on entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Also, entrepreneurial self-efficacy had an effect on green entrepreneurship intention. Finally, self-efficacy was a mediator between extracurricular support, country support, and green entrepreneurial intention. These outcomes can be used by the Ministry of Education and high school planners to use the variables that show more effect and include strategies to increase the green entrepreneurial intention among school students as the creation of annual programs of practical training and entrepreneurship accelerators to develop skills among the students. Also, it can be relevant that the professors can receive specific training in green entrepreneurship because they can guide their students during the daily classes and extracurricular activities as well.

“…This gap presents an opportunity to answer calls to expand the knowledge of entrepreneurship in all contexts (Baker & Welter, 2018;Welter et al, 2019;Korsgaard et al, 2022), in this instance the rural context. The multiplicity of rural areas (Zografos, 2007;Roos, 2017) makes it necessary for scholars to assess the various dimensions of rurality (Gashi Nulleshi & Tillmar, 2022) in order to advance the relevant theoretical and practical knowledge of rural entrepreneurship (McElwee et al, 2018;Pukkinen, Hytti, Heinonen, & Stenholm, 2023). I therefore systematically reviewed the literature on conceptualizing rural entrepreneurship in the fields of entrepreneurship and rural studies (Paper I).…”

Contextualizing Entrepreneurship and Gender: A Life-Story Approach to Rural Family Businesses in Sweden

Gashi Nulleshi

Entrepreneurship has gained increasing attention as a strategic area for rural development. Addressing environmental, demographic, and gender inequality challenges in rural areas requires contextualizing entrepreneurship. Moreover, applying contextualization as a critical lens provides a deeper understanding of how and why entrepreneurship happens in rural areas. This thesis examines the interplay between entrepreneurship and gender within the rural context and is situated in the growing body of literature expanding the knowledge on entrepreneurship in rural contexts. Thus, the thesis responds to the calls to contextualize rural entrepreneurship (McElwee & Atherton, 2021) and gender in entrepreneurship (Welter, 2011; Baker & Welter, 2020; Welter 2020). The thesis is based on a qualitative study on the life stories of women and men entrepreneurs engaged in their family businesses in the rural province of Småland in southern Sweden. The thesis further contributes with a systematic literature review describing the “state of the art” in rural entrepreneurship as well as the intertwinement between the rural, gender, and entrepreneurship fields. Methodologically, the thesis contributes to the operationalization of a rural proofing concept. To theorize on the intersection of these three, often separately studied, fields (Webster 2017), the thesis illustrates the dyadic influence of the rural context on entrepreneurship and gender relations. The thesis also provides theoretical contributions concerning the interdependence of the rural context, agency, and entrepreneurship, including the implications of this interdependence for policymakers, and practitioners. Contextualizing rural entrepreneurship and gender in entrepreneurship is crucial in the development of policies able to address the needs and capabilities of rural entrepreneurs to explore the impact of different policies on rural enterprise development (Smith & McElwee, 2014). Rural proofing policies that take into account the particularities of the rural milieu, such as gender, ethnicity, and traditions within the rural community, can increase the resilience of rural enterprises in the face of challenges arising from local and global contexts.

PurposeThis study investigates antecedents determining the inclination to engage in future environmental entrepreneurial activities. Building on passion research and social cognitive theory, the authors explore the role of environmental passion for environmental entrepreneurial intention, drawing attention to the mediating role of environmental self-efficacy.Design/methodology/approachA regression-based path analysis for mediation to test the developed hypotheses on a sample of 139 young individuals is applied.FindingsThe results demonstrate a significant positive effect of environmental passion on environmental entrepreneurial intention. The mediation analysis shows a positive direct and indirect effect of passion on intention, concluding that self-efficacy is a partial mediator. The results further suggest that environmental entrepreneurial intention is related to gender. In contrast, covariates like age, entrepreneurial exposure and entrepreneurship education have no significant effect.Practical implicationsThe results have implications for practitioners and policymakers who aim to further entrepreneurship for environmental sustainability. It underlines the need to take emotional antecedents seriously, suggests policy for creative and interdisciplinary education with respect to its challenges and emphasizes the roles of teachers in fostering passion.Originality/valueThe results provide a deeper contextualized understanding of passion, self-efficacy and intention in environmental entrepreneurship. These results offer an original perspective of entrepreneurship as a conduit to channel energy, concerns and passionate interests in the natural environment. The study presents theoretical implications for passion theory by extending sources of passion and clarifying the direction of self-efficacy in entrepreneurship.
