“…Entrepreneurship and its antecedents Entrepreneurship development is the most important phenomenon for employment generation globally, along with the implementation of creativity and innovation leading to socio-economic welfare (Singh et al, 2017;Otache, 2017;Lindholm-Dahlstrand et al, 2019;Metallo et al, 2020). It is argued that there are a variety of factors that are affecting the new venture growth and survival, such as entrepreneurial characteristics, resources, strategy and Antecedents of entrepreneurial intentions organizational structure and systems (Subrahmanya, 2015;Ferreira et al, 2012;Jin, 2017;Yasir et al, 2017;Khan et al, 2019a, b).…”

“…Noguera et al (2015) analysed the factors that influence female entrepreneurship using institutional economics as the theoretical framework, which has indicated that informal factors (recognition of entrepreneurial career and female networks) are more relevant for female entrepreneurship than formal factors (education, family context and differential of income level). Metallo et al (2020) investigated the entrepreneurial process of new venture creation through a psychoanalytic approach, which is composed of interrelated processes explaining entrepreneurial behaviour through the identification of three stages: dream, business idea and new venture creation. Rashid et al (2020) applied the Five-Factor Model of Personality-Extraversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Emotional Stability and Openness to a new context enriching knowledge on the personality-behaviour relationship in entrepreneurship.…”

PurposeThis paper aims at identifying the antecedents of entrepreneurial intentions among females in India using the theory of planned behaviour.Design/methodology/approachThis study is based on the Adult Population Survey (APS) of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), which has covered 1,683 female respondents from India. The data has been analysed using simple techniques such as chi-square statistics and logistics regression. The antecedents of entrepreneurial intentions have been identified using the theory of planned behaviour.FindingsAbout 20% of the adult females have reported intention for starting an entrepreneurial venture in the country. A significant relationship emerged between the demographics of females with and without intention towards entrepreneurship. The results showed that there is a positive and significant effect of attitudes towards the behaviour, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control to the entrepreneurial intentions among females.Practical implicationsThis paper provides insights on factors affecting entrepreneurial intention among females and helps in developing a policy framework for promoting new ventures among female entrepreneurs. This also explores the possibility of future research on entrepreneurial intention in the Indian context.Originality/valueConsidering the current focus of the government in India for promoting new ventures, this piece of research can be valuable for different stakeholders in adopting a gender-based approach in implementing inclusive entrepreneurial initiatives.

“…In addition, Trabskaia and Mets (2021) investigated the second stage of the entrepreneurial process, i.e., idea and opportunity, with the variables of feasibility and attractiveness in a sample of seven doctoral students attending an entrepreneurship course. Metallo et al (2021) in their study "explained the entrepreneurial process of new venture creation by stressing the unconscious mechanisms that govern entrepreneurs' behaviours" (Metallo et al 2021, p. 35). This study focused on entrepreneurs and their attitudes.…”

This study aims to investigate the influence of the big-5 personality traits on causation and effectuation decision-making logics using the entrepreneurial process theory. This is an empirical study based on 113 surveys of managers/entrepreneurs from the Estonian IT sector. The questionnaire was uploaded onto the online platform of connect.ee and the participants were invited to complete it. The study reveals that only conscientiousness positively and significantly predicts causation logic. However, four of the five factors of personality traits positively and significantly predict effectuation logic, i.e., openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, except for neuroticism. Furthermore, only nine of 25 hypotheses are positive and significant, and of the 11 relationships of the model, three are negative and non-significant for causation logic and eight are negative and non-significant for effectuation logic. Finally, there are another five relationships of the model which are positively but non-significantly related. Managers of IT companies in Estonia should think of shifting to effectuation logic as most personality traits predict effectuation logic, and therefore, there is the possibility of a better performance for IT firms. Eight of the 51 items of the model had standardised regression weights below the threshold of 0.500, but only four were extracted from the final model. The extraction of items from the model indicates the need for the re-identification of the constructs of personality traits using, for example, the six-factor personality traits.

“…Bannor et al (2020) suggested that market information and valueadded knowledge positively influence the level of entrepreneurial behavior in Ghana. This entrepreneurial behavior can be formed by the subconscious of every individual, which starts from dreams, business ideas, and the creation of a new business (Metallo et al, 2020). The values held by a group of people are important in determining a person's entrepreneurial behavior (Calza et al, 2020).…”

Currently, the performance of the pepper Muntok business continues to decline from time to time. This condition needs to be supported by studying the characteristics of farmers as human resources who carry out business planning and decision-making faced with various threats, challenges, and uncertainties. This study aims to 1) determine personal characteristics; 2) analyze the effect of personal characteristics on entrepreneurial behavior, 3) analyze the effect of personal characteristics and entrepreneurial behavior of farmers on business performance; and 4) analyze the effect of entrepreneurial behavior on business performance. The research method uses a survey method involving 90 farmers. Data analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through Smart Partial Least squares (PLS). The results showed that the personal characteristics of the dominant farmer were strongly reflected by indicators of ethnic origin, experience, and age. Personal characteristics positively and significantly contribute to entrepreneurial behavior, and positive entrepreneurial behavior significantly influences business performance. The study results did not directly influence personal characteristics on business performance but through entrepreneurial behavior. Furthermore, the indicator variables of ethnic origin, experience, and age affect discipline, persistence, perseverance, interest in seeking and increasing knowledge, and mastery of technical skills, which can ultimately determine the level of business productivity and the desire to grow through business expansion. Before and during the COVID-19 pandemic, the entrepreneurial behavior of farmers was still strongly shaped by cognitive and affective variables. It is necessary to increase the skills of farmers through training and entrepreneurship development that pays attention to personal characteristics to improve business performance. This study can recommend the Agriculture Office of the Bangka Belitung Islands Province in formulating policies to increase the productivity of pepper plants and the welfare of pepper farmers in the future.
