“…A small family business is controlled by the founder or his descendants across generations ( Ahmad et al, 2018 ). Each descendant has different entrepreneurial, cognitive capabilities and vision to rationalize complex issues like succession ( Murad et al, 2022 ). An entrepreneur’s attitude, behavior, and cognitive capabilities are the reflections of an individual’s personality traits ( Zicat et al, 2018 ).…”

PurposeIn this paper, we investigate two research queries pertaining to the success of small family business succession. First, we examine how the Big-5 personality traits of descendant entrepreneurs influence the success of their family business succession. Second, we investigate whether descendant entrepreneurs whose personality traits are congruent with the values of their family business, would lead to the success of their family business succession, through the mediating role of descendant entrepreneur-family business value congruence (DE-FBVC).MethodologyWe rely on the person-organization fit theory for our conceptual framework and we collected primary data from 124 respondents designated as chairman and managing directors in small family businesses.ResultsOur results show that a descendant entrepreneur’s openness, extroversion, conscientiousness, and agreeableness traits are likely to lead to successful family business succession, but a descendant entrepreneur with neuroticism trait is unlikely to do so. In addition, our results reveal that the DE-FBVC mediates the relationship between openness and extroversion traits with succession success positively, but between neuroticism trait and succession success negatively. By contrast, we find that DE-FBVC does not mediate the relationship between conscientiousness and agreeableness traits with succession success.OriginalityThe findings of our study suggest that while four of the Big-5 personality traits matter for the success of small family business succession, specific personality traits of descendant entrepreneurs which are found to be congruent with the values of their family business, will also lead to succession success.

“…The students could identify business ideas by looking at the needs and want of the community by identifying and exploring potential opportunities. Numerous studies have found that entrepreneurship education positively equips entrepreneurs and those interested in entrepreneurship with the necessary knowledge and skills (Gieurea et al, 2020;Kuratko & Morris, 2017;Murad et al, 2022). Therefore, incorporating entrepreneurship education into tertiary-level education can improve knowledge and increase students' ability to recognize opportunities and gather pertinent information, enabling them to capitalize on potential opportunities and pursue entrepreneurship.…”

“…As a result, these emotions prevent individuals from engaging in entrepreneurial activities. Furthermore, emotions are formed due to external stimuli that shape individual experiences (Celik & Calik, 2022;Gogan & Belinsky, 2022;Murad et al, 2022). In other words, positive emotions can be elicited if the experience acquired through entrepreneurship education is meaningful, as students then may acquire a higher emotional capacity to face the obstacles and pressures of entrepreneurship.…”

Entrepreneurship education can emotionally impact students by instilling excitement, curiosity, and self-efficacy, influencing their decision-making when considering entrepreneurship as a career path. Emotions are essential in shaping student involvement in entrepreneurship, especially during the early stages of beginning a business. Thus, this study was aimed at determining the impact of entrepreneurship education on entrepreneurial emotions among university students in higher education institutions. Purposive sampling was employed, targeting final-year undergraduate students from Malaysian public universities. A survey was administered to 453 students in their final year of study. Data were analysed using IBM SPSS 22 for descriptive analysis and SmartPLS 3.3.0 for testing hypotheses. The results revealed that entrepreneurship education and negative entrepreneurial emotions were modest, whereas positive emotions were high. This finding confirmed that fear is the greatest obstacle for students wanting to become entrepreneurs. Through exposure to entrepreneurship education, students’ entrepreneurial abilities and emotions to venture into business were significantly heightened. This suggests that entrepreneurship education was advantageous as it inspired students toward entrepreneurship. The findings of this study implied that curriculum planning committees prudently design syllabi at the university to incorporate theoretical and practical aspects within the entrepreneurship education programme. The curriculum structure should also emphasize relevant and applicable practicality in the real world.

“…More studies are needed to accurately capture differences in probability discounting; for example, conjoint designs could give many options for manipulating desirability and feasibility characteristics. Murad et al (2022) conducted an investigation into the association between early-stage entrepreneurial practises and entrepreneurial social identities, with a particular focus on entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The research comprised a sample of 455 undergraduate students who were enrolled in public universities located in the province of Punjab, Pakistan.…”

In recent times, the performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) has generated increased interest because of their crucial contribution to the national and global economies. Against this back drop, this study empirically investigated the impact of entrepreneurial behaviour on the performance of SMEs in South-West, Nigeria. Specifically, this study evaluated the combined impact of entrepreneurial orientation, entrepreneurial competency, entrepreneurial mindset, and social network on the performance of SMEs. This study adopted a survey research design. The population of this study consisted of one hundred and forty-nine thousand, three hundred and seventeen (149,317) registered SMEs in operation with Small and Medium Enterprises Development Agency of Nigeria (SMEDAN) as at the end of December, 2021 in South West, Nigeria. This study adopted a tabular approach proposed by Gill et al. (2010) Gill et al. (2010), as cited in Taherdoost (2017), to arrive at a sample size of six hundred and fifty-nine (659) respondents. This study employed multi-stage sampling technique, involving stratified sampling, proportionate sampling, and simple random sampling. The primary data used for the analyses were collected from the respondents through the use of structured questionnaire, and responses were analysed using descriptive and multiple regression analysis. The results revealed entrepreneurial behaviours (entrepreneurial orientation, entrepreneurial competency, entrepreneurial mindset, and social network) had a significant and positive impact on the performance of SMEs (Adjusted R2 = 0.878, p< 0.05). This study concluded that entrepreneurial behaviours enhanced the performance of SMEs in South-West, Nigeria. The study recommended that SMEs’ owners and managers should adopt an entrepreneurial approach, including entrepreneurial orientation, entrepreneurial competency, entrepreneurial mindset, and social network strategies. By doing so, they can develop more innovative products and services, outperform competitors, improve output, and retain customers in their operating sector.
