“…Although this fact was not observed in the theoretical review, existing evidence indicates that entrepreneurs are more careful about their own and other people's time compared with employees (Zabelina et al ., 2021).…”

“…This questionnaire includes 56 statements (Appendix 1) and allows us to measure five components of time perspective: (1) past negative, which reflects a general pessimistic, negative attitude or one with an admixture of disgust toward the past; (2) present hedonistic, which reflects the hedonistic and risky attitude toward time and life, the orientation to pleasure and enjoyment in the present and the lack of concern for future consequences; (3) future, which reflects the general orientation to the future determined by the pursuance of the goals and rewards of the future; (4) past positive, which reflects a warm and sentimental attitude toward the past; and (5) present fatalistic, which reveals a fatalistic, helpless and hopeless attitude toward the future and life. Despite the criticism of this diagnostic tool by some researchers (Worrell and Mello, 2007), its application in various countries shows the high reliability and validity qualities of the scales (Mitina and Sircova, 2008; Popova, 2020; Przepiorka, 2016, 2017; Riantoputra and Muis, 2020; Zabelina et al ., 2021).…”

“…Thus, within the framework of a qualitative study of European countries, young entrepreneurs have been found to be more focused on the present (what they are doing now) than on the future (predetermined goals and the possibility of future failure) (Holdsworth and Mendonca, 2020). A study on a Russian sample reveals no differences in the future time perspective between entrepreneurs and employees (Zabelina et al ., 2021). At the same time, future time orientation has been regarded as a factor that ensures the success of women entrepreneurs in Indonesia (Riantoputra and Muis, 2020).…”

PurposeGreen entrepreneurship is a topic of transcendental importance for today's societies. Studies on why entrepreneurs engage in green business have primarily focused on external influences, paying little attention to internal factors such as cognitive mechanisms. This study aims to fill this gap by focusing on the characteristics of the perceived (psychological) time of entrepreneurs who choose green businesses.Design/methodology/approachUsing a sequential exploratory mixed methods design, this study conducts a series of 20 in-depth interviews with green entrepreneurs in Russia, an emerging economy, and then formulates the hypotheses. The hypotheses are tested in the quantitative phase by surveying 389 green and non-green entrepreneurs.FindingsThe data obtained in the survey phase support several hypotheses. Specifically, green entrepreneurs think more critically about their past than their non-green colleagues. Similarly, green entrepreneurs have a longer time perspective and are more focused on possible future events. Finally, green entrepreneurs are farsighted and perceive the future more negatively than non-green entrepreneurs.Research limitations/implicationsThe data obtained in the survey phase support several hypotheses. Compared with non-green entrepreneurs, green entrepreneurs think more critically about their past, have a longer time perspective and are more focused on possible future events. In addition, green entrepreneurs are farsighted and perceive the future more negatively than their non-green counterparts.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the least examined area in the relevant literature by identifying internal factors that explain green entrepreneurship. Furthermore, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, it is one of the first to provide an in-depth understanding of the characteristics of the perceived (psychological) time of green entrepreneurs.

The main part includes ideas about the time of life, perception of the image of the past, present and future, goals and the planning horizon. The final stage determined the motivational and value predictors of the choice of the direction of the "green" economy and their connection with the perception of time.Results. Motivational and value predictors are revealed: the ability of entrepreneurs to "forget" negative situations of the past, to be persistent and persistent in achieving goals, the ability to predict events in the distant and foreseeable future. There are a lot of positive memories in the minds of eco-entrepreneurs, the past is compared with the category of experience and is updated when analyzing errors.
