“…Scholars are striving to understand more why an individual has an intention and decision to become an entrepreneur (Burger & Blažková, 2020;Dvouletý, 2017;Holienka et al, 2017;Krueger et al, 2000;Liñán & Chen, 2009). However, researches on academic entrepreneurship or invention commercialisation, especially in exploring the role of contextual factors in shaping intention to commercialise invention among scientists, are rather sparse (Nguyen et al, 2018;Perkmann et al, 2013).…”

Empirical studies exploring particular mechanisms that the country's institutional profile, such as regulatory and normative dimension are internalised into scientists' cognitive process of commercialising their research results, are rather sparse. This study aims to develop a conceptual framework in which integrated the lens of institutional theory and theory of planned behaviour to empirically test and discover the effects of regulatory and normative supports on scientists' intention to commercialise an invention. A survey was conducted at institutions and universities using stratified random sampling from 255 scientists during the period of 2 months from May to July 2020. A structural equation modelling was employed to estimate the paths and correlations. Results revealed that although regulatory support was not found to have the direct role in shaping intention to commercialise the invention, it had more influences and significances in the increase of attitude towards entrepreneurship, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control. Also, attitude towards entrepreneurship and perceived behavioural control were found to be full mediators in the linkage between regulatory support and intention to commercialise the invention, but subjective norms were not. Besides, normative support, although it was not related to subjective norms, it had direct influences on attitude toward invention commercialisation, perceived behaviour control, and intention to commercialise the invention. Thus, attitude toward invention commercialisation, perceived behaviour control was figured out to play the partially mediating role in the relationship between normative support and intention to commercialise invention among scientists. This research shows that new institutions that address younger generations and concentrate on enhancing entrepreneurial qualities are crucial to foster commercialisation in emerging economies. Also, by representing outstanding issues, our research encourages further debate and research activities. Implications for Central European audience: Even though the research results are related to academic entrepreneurship in Vietnam, the findings of this study can advocate that to promote academic entrepreneurship in emerging economies, enhancing both regulatory and normative supports are really necessary. In addition to theoretical contributions, this study also has several practical implications for researchers and policymakers in Central Europe.

“…Another argument in the discussion of this point is that some important factors on the entrepreneurial propensity such as the opportunity recognition, self-confidence, fear of failure, role model, self-efficacy and internal locus of control, have less impact on women; because women tend to be more sensitive than men to a variety of non-monetary incentives, and for women the choice to be an entrepreneur is often linked to necessity and not for opportunity (Minniti and Nardone, 2007). Finally, having an entrepreneurial father or mother is a positive influence on entrepreneurial intention of their offspring; at the time, this influence could also generate the opposite effect or negative, and lead the offspring to have no entrepreneurial intention and therefore not identify with their father or mother (Criaco et al, 2017;Holienka et al, 2017). This argument also helps explain in part the fact that some women or men identify less or more with their parents, father or mother, or even not fully identify for certain things with them or some of them.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of parental role model in gender entrepreneurial intentions. The authors distinguish between paternal and maternal role models and investigate how their influence on students’ decision to become self-employed is moderated by gender. Design/methodology/approach The authors use a logit model on a sample of 3.703 university students from Colombia Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students Survey 2016. Findings As pointed out by results, the findings show not only that the presence of parental role model increases entrepreneurial intentions but also that the effect of this influence is moderated by gender. Research limitations/implications First, data limitations do not allow us to analyze the ways in which the parent self-employed role model contributes to increasing entrepreneurial intentions. Second, the effects of specific characteristics of father and mother role model, such as education, age, culture and experience in the sector, are not taken into account to assess the link with entrepreneurial intentions. Originality/value This study offers a new insight relating parental role model and their impact to increase entrepreneurial intentions among universities student. The findings of this paper offer relevant information to universities policymaker to design of university strategies that promote entrepreneurial activity in Colombia.

“…The financial crisis of 2008 has harshly influenced the regional labour market, and the issue of employment has become progressively momentous since then (Gubik and Farkas, 2019). The youth sector has inhibited significant effort and involvement in entrepreneurial projects (Szerb and Imreh, 2007; Holienka et al , 2017; Dallago, 2017; Petrová, 2019; Gubik and Farkas, 2019; Hartšenko and Küttim, 2019) and became the driving force of the rapidly expanding Visegrád Four entrepreneurship and start-up ecosystems (Andrejczuk and Jałukowicz, 2015). Pilkova et al (2017) found that personality traits and personal-related factors are one of the main drivers for the entrepreneurial intentions among youth in Visegrád countries to pursue their entrepreneurial goals.…”

Purpose This study aims to extend the existing body of literature on the individual-level determinants of self-employed persons with (employer entrepreneurs) and without employees (solo self-employed individuals) from the perspective of four post-communist economies (i.e. Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia). Design/methodology/approach The methodological approach is based on the three harmonised waves (2005, 2010 and 2015) of the European Survey on Working Conditions (EWCS). Multi-variate logistic regression models are used to determine the individual-level differences among employees, solo self-employed individuals and job creators in the selected group of countries. Findings The results show significant differences among employees, solo self-employed individuals and job creators, especially when it comes to the role of age, gender, education, previous experience, number of working hours and their determination. Job creators in Visegrád countries have, on average, more years of experience, and higher levels of education (tertiary), than wage-employees. Research limitations/implications This study provides a series of recommendations for future research on the role of family- and household-related characteristics, entrepreneurship-specific education and migration background. Originality/value The previous research on individual determinants of entrepreneurial engagement in Visegrád region was mainly based on the data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. This study offers a novel perspective based on the EWCS data.
