“…Decision-making by entrepreneurs often comes with errors and misjudgements because the information available is either ambiguous or incomplete. Entrepreneurs have to continually keep up with changing contingencies by adjusting their goals and strategies [12,13]. Entrepreneurial resilience, which can be described as the ability to withstand and quickly overcome adversity, is an important personal characteristic in the pursuit of entrepreneurship.…”

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have a significant role to play in a country's sustainable development. The measures of a country's sustainable development include economic and social factors. The sustainability of small and medium enterprises is vital to job creation, poverty reduction, and sustainable economic growth. The high failure rate of SMEs negatively impacts on South Africa's sustainable development. The purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship between entrepreneurial resilience and the success of SMEs in South Africa. Success was measured using both organisational and individual criteria. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 10 (CD-RISC 10) was used to measure entrepreneurial resilience. Data was collected from 170 small business owners through the survey method. The self-administered questionnaire method was used to collect data from the participants. Convenience and snowball methods were used for sampling. Descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis, correlation, and regression analysis were used for data analysis. Cronbach's alpha was used as a measure of reliability. The results indicated that there is a significant positive relationship between entrepreneurial resilience and individual and organisational success. Ways to enhance the resilience of small business owners in order to ensure the sustainability of SMEs are suggested.

“…Commitment is a force that binds an individual to a course of action and its associated target (Meyer, Becker, & Van Dick, 2006). While self-efficacy may be a motivational or de-motivational force depending on a person's selfenhancing or self-deprecating beliefs (Bullough & Renko, 2013), GC might be one of its determining factors (Callanan & Zimmerman, 2016;Przepiorka, 2016). Goal-setting theory proposed four mechanisms through which goals affect performance: choice, effort, persistence, and strategies (Locke & Latham, 2002).…”

Cyber-entrepreneurship has become an important topic of debate in academia primarily because of an increasingly competitive nature of E-commerce industry and internet. Since cyber-entrepreneurial career-decision encompasses higher degree of personal risks and commitments among those aspiring to become 'cyberentrepreneurs', there is need for in-depth understanding on the driving factors that influencing Cyber-entrepreneurial intentions. By integrating the concepts of social cognitive theory and goal-setting theory, the current research aims to explore the effects of Cyber-entrepreneurial self-efficacy (CESE) and goal commitment (GC) on Cyber-entrepreneurial intentions (CEIs) in the context of undergraduate entrepreneurship education, and inquires whether the presence of entrepreneurial role models (ERMs) has any effect on the CEIs among undergraduates. Structural equation modeling and multi-group analysis were used to analyze the data collected from 279 undergraduate students from several universities in Taiwan-among which 146 were with entrepreneurial role models and 143 were without. The results showed that GC has a partial mediation effect between CESE and CEI only in the cases of students without ERMs. Multi-sample SEM revealed a significant difference between the effects of CESE on CEI in students with and without ERMs. These findings may have important theoretical and practical implications to students undertaking entrepreneurship degrees and those making leap-decisions to enter the cyber-entrepreneurial field.

“…Indeed, when it comes to understanding traits of typical nascent entrepreneurs, strong support has been found for individual differences such as achievement motivation (Ciavarella et al, 2004;Collins, Hanges and Locke, 2004;McClelland, 1961McClelland, , 1965, risk-propensity (Begley and Boyd, 1987;Miner and Raju, 2004;Stewart andRoth, 2001, 2004;Xu and Ruef, 2004;Zhao, Seibert and Lumpkin 2010), optimism (Arabsheibani et al, 2000;Cassar, 2009;Cooper, Woo and Dunkelburg, 1988;Hayward et al, 2010), self-efficacy (Chen, Greene and Crick, 1998;Chen, Gully and Eden, 2001;Zhao, Seibert and Hills, 2005), and social competence (Baron, 2000;Baron and Markman, 2003). Recognising this, entrepreneurship scholars and practitioners argue and find evidence suggesting that characteristics related to resilience play important roles in implementing entrepreneurial intentions, especially amidst adverse conditions and environments (Bullough and Renko, 2013;Bullough, Renko and Myatt, 2014;Krueger, Schulte and Stamp, 2008).…”

Raising entrepreneurs: can parenting style amplify entrepreneurial intentions and behaviours?

For years, family business researchers have argued that many areas of entrepreneurship research have unnaturally separated the social institutions of family and business, calling for more exploration of the pervasive effects of family on entrepreneurship. Recent research has started to explore these effects within a family business context, but scholars still do not know much about how other family environments influence entrepreneurship. Using a family systems theoretical perspective, this conceptual paper addresses how developmental aspects of parenting and family environments, both inside and outside a family business context, contribute to the expression of entrepreneurial intentions and behaviours in adulthood. The most theoretically novel aspects of this paper focus on how family business contexts amplify links between entrepreneurial intentions and behaviours.
