This is necessity-based entrepreneurship and is due to what Reynolds et al (2002) call as "push motivations" to the unemployment and job replacement that leave no alternative to opening individual's own business (Lohrke & Woolley, 2010).…”

The approach of entrepreneurship literatures proposed that entrepreneurial orientation (EO) influences firm's performance with inconsistent empirical findings. Likewise, present-day entrepreneurship orientation risk-taking orientation discussions revealed the importance and the influence of risk-taking orientation towards organizational performance and profitability. Nevertheless, discussion of risk-taking orientation influences at individual levels such as delinquent entrepreneurs still scarce, specifically in the context of ex-juvenile entrepreneurs. This conceptual paper proposed the framework that, risk-taking orientation behaviors might influence ex-juvenile entrepreneurial activities and their delinquent behavioral change. We assume risk-taking orientation looks to replicate the desired settlement amongst the delinquent populace and entrepreneurial risktaking orientation as an alternative to delinquent behaviors. Due to lack of explanation, we provide a conceptual framework to create awareness and understanding of ex-juvenile entrepreneurial risktaking orientation behaviors by suggesting to employ qualitative methods to gain insight into the phenomenon. Lastly, the conceptual paper concludes by suggesting some interpretations for future research to dig out the study theoretically and empirically on the individual EO risk-taking orientation behaviors among the delinquent populace (ex-juvenile entrepreneurs) context. This conceptual paper provides fresh knowledge about the IEO, risk-taking orientation potentiality amongst the delinquent entrepreneurs' self-development, and insight into the entrepreneurship context.

“…Individuals engage in entrepreneurial activity for one of two reasons: to act upon an identified opportunity or out of economic necessity. This motivation depends on determinants such as the individual-level characteristics of entrepreneurs (Cunningham & Lischeron, 1991;Mota et al, 2019), the economic context in which the individuals live and work (Mota et al, 2019;Schoonhoven & Romanelli, 2001), and the institutional environment (Amorós et al, 2019;Galindo-Martín et al, 2019). Because an individual's motivation to become an entrepreneur affects entrepreneurship-related goals, venture performance and perceived subjective well-being (Hessels et al, 2008), it is important to differentiate between opportunity-and necessity-driven entrepreneurship.…”

Entrepreneurial activity has been seen as the single most important activity of individuals due to its role in the economic development of nations. However, little is known about the impact of entrepreneurial activity on the subjective well-being of nations beyond its economic impact. The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of different types of entrepreneurial activity – total entrepreneurial activity, opportunity-driven entrepreneurial activity and innovative entrepreneurial activity – on subjective well-being across nations. We consider three distinct mechanisms by which entrepreneurship may influence subjective well-being at the national level. Our panel data includes representative country-level data from 2008 to 2015 from five different data sources for 31 European countries. We employ four econometric models for analyzing the panel data: pooled OLS regression (POLS), fixed effects model (FE), random effects model (RE), and simultaneous equations model (3SLS). Our results suggest that opportunity-driven entrepreneurial activity has a positive impact on subjective well-being. In addition, we find that subjective well-being affects the level of opportunity-driven and innovative entrepreneurial activity. These findings have implications for policy-makers seeking to promote not only economic development but also subjective well-being in the nation.

“…The both distinct motivations, opportunity and necessity entrepreneurship, have been repeatedly discussed and contrasted with each other in the literature (Fairlie & Fossen, 2018;Caliendo & Kritikos, 2019;Mota et al, 2019). This paper aims to progress the study of entrepreneurship and complete the theorical and empirical research carried out so far analyzing the entrepreneurial behavior by necessity and opportunity to be able to design efficient policies that promote total entrepreneurial activity.…”

This paper offers an in-depth examination of the behavior of necessity- and opportunity driven entrepreneurship. First, it considers their relevance to total entrepreneurial activity. It then seeks to determine which socio-cultural and economic factors affect the two types of entrepreneurship, as well as their relative importance for a sample of 32 previously selected countries during a period of expansion (2001–2008) and of crisis and recovery (2009–2016). The analyzed factors include monetary and fiscal policy instruments (economic factors) and representative variables of governance and human capital (socio-cultural ones). The findings show that both necessity- and opportunity-driven entrepreneurship largely explain the behavior of total entrepreneurial activity. They moreover show that the explanatory factors of both kinds of entrepreneurship differ depending on the business cycle phase considered. These findings will be key to proposing efficient economic policy measures to promote entrepreneurial activity and, thus, economic growth in different economies around the world.
