“…Thus, leading to many variables been hypothesized within the literature as predictors of new business startup or self-employment (Sánchez, 2011). In essence studies have established a significant relationship with intention and other variables using TPB, for example Sánchez (2011), Drennan and Saleh (2008), Autio et al (2001) and Díaz-García and Jiménez-Moreno (2010) to mention a few.…”

For decades, entrepreneurship has become a major concern to both scholars and policymakers because of its significant role in economic and social transformation. This paper modeled the direct effects of entrepreneurial skill, environmental factors and entrepreneurial orientation on entrepreneurial intention as well as the indirect (moderating) effect of entrepreneurial orientation on the relationship of entrepreneurial skill and environmental factors with entrepreneurial intention. Quantitative research design was employed using students' sample. It was found that entrepreneurial skill, environmental factors and entrepreneurial orientation have a positive influence on entrepreneurial intention. It was also discovered that entrepreneurial orientation moderates the relationship between entrepreneurial skill and entrepreneurial intention. However, the moderation effect of entrepreneurial orientation on the relationship between environmental factors and entrepreneurial intention was not established in this study, thus, called for exploring this moderating effect in other contexts. As implication to policy, the government should ensure not only enriching students with entrepreneurial skill and conducive entrepreneurial environment but also well-built entrepreneurial orientation among Nigeria teeming youths as it has a direct effect as well as strong interaction with other factors in explaining entrepreneurial intention.

Entrepreneurship and Management in an Islamic Context

The number of female entrepreneurs and their contribution to the economy is steadily rising. Yet research suggests that female entrepreneurs face more challenges and barriers than their male counterparts. This is expected to be even more prevalent in Islamic contexts, which are characterised by conservative and patriarchal societies. In this research, 254 female business students from a private and a public university responded to a questionnaire that gauges their perceptions about potential barriers to entrepreneurship in Jordan and whether the business education they are receiving helps to prepare them for future entrepreneurial activity. Our results help to form a basis on which a deeper understanding of the phenomena can be achieved through more in depth future research. Among the main environmental factors that worry potential female entrepreneurs are the weakness of Jordanian economy, lack of finance, fear of risk, gender inequality and inability to maintain a work and private life balance. Our results also show that students are really not aware of the opportunities available to them and are unable to make a proper assessment. We call on both universities and the Jordanian government to put more emphasis on practical entrepreneurial education and encouraging women to play a much more active role within the workforce.

“…Aligned with contemporary investigations (Espíritu Olmos & Sastre-Castillo, 2015;Hoogendoorn et al, 2016), this study applies the universal values model in the context of craft brewing operators' EI. Similarly, in alignment with various studies (Díaz-García & Jiménez-Moreno, 2010;Fini et al, 2010), the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) is also employed. This study therefore makes a theoretical contribution, by adopting two frameworks in the context of craft brewing entrepreneurship: the universal values model and the TPB.…”

LJMU Research Online Entrepreneurial intentions in an emerging industry: An exploratory study Abel Duarte Alonso and Nevil Alexander AbstractThis exploratory study examines entrepreneurial intentions in the emerging craft brewing industry from the perspective of predominantly micro and small craft brewery owners/brewing masters through the lens of the theories of universal values and planned behaviour. In doing so, the study makes a contribution to the existing academic literature on entrepreneurial intentions, micro and small businesses, and craft brewing industry. A contribution is also made by refining the adopted theoretical frameworks to study craft brewing entrepreneurship. Employing content analysis and word association revealed that passion for the craft brewing industry, turning a hobby into a professional undertaking, and professional and lifestyle changes-as compared to financial rewards-are predominant reasons for being involved in this industry. Alignments between the findings and universal values and two of the three predicting intentions was noticed, demonstrating the applicability of these theoretical frameworks in the context of the industry under examination.
