“…In disability entrepreneurship, which is less specific than intellectual disability, the number of interviewees also tends to be low: usually lower than 30 (Caldwell et al, 2019). This reflects the great difficulty researchers have in accessing suitable participants for research in this field (Klangboonkrong and Baines, 2022). In future research, Entrepreneur with ID and life satisfaction we recommend that the geographical scope be expanded to a multi-country analysis, thus making the sample size larger, and even extended to other PwID who have not started a business and who may or may not be in paid or unpaid employment.…”

PurposeThe high and persistent unemployment rates of people with intellectual disabilities (PwID) reveal the wide gap that still remains to be bridged. Entrepreneurship combinedly with a high enterprising tendency could improve PwID's life satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachA mixed-method approach was used, based on questionnaires and structured face-to-face interviews on 37 PwID who had recently become entrepreneurs. Data were firstly quantitatively analyzed using partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM), and qualitative data were used to enable robust findings.FindingsThe entrepreneurial tendency of PwID who had recently become entrepreneurs was found to be a positive to their life quality (LQ), job satisfaction and life satisfaction.Research limitations/implicationsThis study revealed that entrepreneurship among PwID who had high enterprising tendency enhances their LQ, job satisfaction and life satisfaction. However, further research could evaluate whether becoming an entrepreneur is in itself enough to change PwID's life to better, such that a comparison could be done between PwID who become entrepreneurs and PwID who have a salaried job.Practical implicationsNew aspects in the design of public social policies to improve PwID's life satisfaction are suggested. These include the facilitation of both entrepreneurship and enterprising tendency for PwID to enhance their life satisfaction.Originality/valueThere are very few occasions in which PwID set up businesses. This is one of the first studies to analyze the benefit of entrepreneurship and enterprising tendency on the LQ, the satisfaction at work and the life satisfaction of PwID.

“…PWDs face unique challenges in starting and running a business, such as limited access to resources and difficulty in performing certain tasks. Therefore, government support, in the form of financial assistance, tax breaks and accessibility provisions, can help mitigate these challenges and provide a level playing field for disabled entrepreneurs (Klangboonkrong and Baines, 2022). However, the success of entrepreneurs among PWDs depends on their character in using these resources.…”

Purpose Entrepreneurial personalities have been widely recognised as important drivers for the development of entrepreneurial competencies, which are the skills, knowledge and abilities that enable entrepreneurs to start and grow successful businesses. Yet, there has been relatively little research focused specifically on entrepreneurial personalities that influence entrepreneurial competencies among people with physical disabilities. Therefore, this study aims to explore the entrepreneurial personalities among people with disabilities (PWDs) and explain how they influence several aspects of entrepreneurial capabilities. Design/methodology/approach A qualitative approach, namely, phenomenological approach, has been conducted; meanwhile, a total of 12 respondents were interviewed as the data has reached the saturation level. Findings The findings revealed that successful PWDs entrepreneurs possess a range of traits and characteristics that contribute to their success, which include need for achievement, internal drives, external factors, extraversion and openness. These factors drive the enhancement of the PWDs’ entrepreneurial capabilities. Originality/value Essentially, this study is one of the few studies that suggests that an integrative personality model influences PWDs’ entrepreneurial capabilities and their business development. This model takes into account the unique experiences and challenges faced by PWDs, which help to better understand the traits and characteristics that contribute to their success as entrepreneurs.

“…Social entrepreneurship involves the application of traditional entrepreneurial principles to a context and focus related to social issues. This is clearly understood through the views of Kostetska and Berezyak (2014) and Klangboonkrong & Baines (2022) who mention that social entrepreneurship is a response to the social problems of society such as unemployment, poverty, community fragmentation and hunger, which are increasingly chronic and achieve universal social justice.…”

Social entrepreneurship has the potential to offer job opportunities for people with disabilities (OKU). However, there is a gap between the effectiveness of existing social entrepreneurship activities and the desire of people with disabilities to become social entrepreneurs. This paper aims to detail the plan of study for exploring the basic principles practiced by social entrepreneurs with disabilities in overcoming challenges and creating opportunities within their social entrepreneurial business. This study targeted disabled entrepreneurs and five key informants to be interviewed through the Quintuple Helix method. The study is expected to become the basis of generalizing the culture of social entrepreneurship among the disabled group.
