“…Further, universities help students to develop market-based competencies and resources to step into the market. They provide them office space, telephone, internet, and connections with the industry in general and seed money for business launch in particular [ 47 ]. The current research study is an effort to link the RBV with sustainable entrepreneurship behavior, where resources can be provided by the universities to the aspiring entrepreneurs.…”

Eco-conscious behaviors have become a global imperative for entrepreneurs, as the consumer demand for products and services has become increasingly green. Hence, the purpose of this study is to identify the role of entrepreneurship education in environmental sustainability as measured by the launch of green ventures. This study also aims at extending the literature of resource-based view and flow theory by highlighting their application into the green venturing context. Data were collected from 420 Pakistani students having studied an entrepreneurship course in their university life by using the convenience sampling technique. The covariance based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) was used to test the hypothesized relationships, and it was identified that entrepreneurship education evokes commitment to the environment, subsequently leading towards university green entrepreneurial support, environmental motivation, and green entrepreneurial behavior. University green entrepreneurial support also significantly influences green venturing; however, environmental motivation does not affect green entrepreneurial behavior. The findings of this study can be useful for policymakers in higher educational institutions, regulatory bodies, and diverse-government agencies dealing with UN sustainable development goals.

“…Entrepreneurs are people of action and choose to learn in an atmosphere, where there is room for trial and error and reflection [44]). However, academic research on entrepreneurship usually focused on entrepreneurs' characteristics, personality, and distinct skills [45]. Therefore, domestic factors, impacting personality traits and characteristics and the transference of skills, are put into question.…”

The influence of culture on the development of youth entrepreneurs in a selected suburb in Cape Town

Coloured people's entrepreneurial efforts in South Africa are mostly survivalist. Although most of the selected suburb's youth have high entrepreneurial intentions, most do not become successful entrepreneurs. We are hoping to understand why people think this. Indisputable are the inadequacy of entrepreneurial education and training, a heavily skewed distribution of resources, a lack of mentorship, minimal support from parents, and a cultural upbringing in opposition to entrepreneurship. This study's objective was to gain insight into the cultural and educational limitations on entrepreneurial development and the entrepreneurial intentions of the selected suburb's youth. This paper employed quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. The quantitative data was collected from 470 youths through a survey questionnaire. Ten personal interviews were conducted within the qualitative ambit and served to validate the quantitative tool's results. The quantitative data was analysed using SPSS software, and the qualitative data was analysed by identifying common themes in relation to the quantitative findings. The study revealed a low level of tertiary education, a family orientated culture and a high level of entrepreneurial intention. The findings further revealed that many parents do not run their businesses, which indicated that most of the youth do not stem from entrepreneurially oriented households. The researchers recommend that business incubators be established within the suburb and that schools within the community should partner with the private sector and governmental structures, such as the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), The National Youth Development Agency (NYDA), and Small Enterprise Finance Agency (SEFA) in order to expose youth to the practical application of entrepreneurship.

“…The individuals repeatedly interacting with one another, carry the same norms, and similar behavior (Hameed & Irfan, 2019). To get associated with the group, people also adopt groupthink phenomena leading to the likeminded aggressive personalities (Pavan & Felicetti, 2019).…”

Social Media Self‐Control Failure (SMSCF) is the tendency of the individual to use social media in situations even when it coincides with other important goals. SMSCF causes aggression in the user. Current research analyses that the SMSCF leads to aggression in an individual as well as to its social network. The data have been collected by participants about their friends. It has been proved that SMSCF causes aggression in the individual, which is ultimately transmitted to their associated individuals. Furthermore, it has been examined that the individuals not having the tendency of SMSCF become more aggressive when they are connected to individuals who have SMSCF. Social media usage has been considered as a means of losing focus from work, thus, causing procrastination leading to frustration. The findings of the study can help in decreasing aggression from society at large.
