“…Moreover, cognitive factors that contribute to competent actions, such as general mental ability, emotional intelligence, creativity, and human capital, as well as motivational factors, such as entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial passion, positively influence entrepreneurial success, for example, in terms of opportunity identification, innovation, and firm performance (Allen et al 2021, Canavati et al 2021, Miao et al 2017, Sarooghi et al 2015, Zhao & Liu 2022. Finally, recent meta-analyses showed that personality in terms of the dark triad (Machiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy) is related to entrepreneurial success (Brownell et al 2021).…”

We review the research on the psychology of entrepreneurship of the last decade. We focus on two key topics in entrepreneurship research: action and process. Combining action and process in a model of the psychology of entrepreneurship, we present the action theory process model of entrepreneurship and use it as a guiding framework for the review. We discuss theories of action, such as effectuation/causation, bricolage, theory of planned behavior, and action theory. Furthermore, we adopt a process perspective to discuss antecedents of actions in terms of cognition, motivation, and emotion and how they develop during the entrepreneurial process. The process perspective considers recursive relationships and dynamic changes in actions and their antecedents over time. We conclude that the action theory process model is a useful starting point to explain the psychological dynamics of entrepreneurship. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Organizational Psychology and Organizational Behavior, Volume 10 is January 2023.

“…There is also evidence for the mixed findings on the direct link between negative dispositions and EI. Entrepreneurship could be more attractive for individuals with dark personality traits ( Brownell et al, 2021 ), yet results may differ across diverse populations such as successful entrepreneurs, professionals, and students ( Liang, 2018 ). Therefore, we suggest a careful interpretation of the findings.…”

This study examined the mediating role of core Executive Functions (EF: working memory and inhibitory control) and moderating role of Perceived Academic Intent to Entrepreneurship (PAIE) in relationship between Dark Personality Traits (SDT) and Entrepreneurial Intentions (EI) of university students. A sample of 539 university students enrolled in various undergraduate and postgraduate programs completed the Short Dark Triad-3 (SD3), Adult Executive Functioning Inventory (ADEXI), and measures for assessing Entrepreneurial Intent and Perceived Academic Intent to Entrepreneurship. The results showed that of SDT, only Machiavellianism was significantly associated with EI. Both of the core executive functions and PAIE were also positively correlated with EI. Moreover, findings showed that EF positively mediated the relationship between Machiavellian disposition and entrepreneurial intention, while perceived academic intent to entrepreneurship moderated the relationship between executive functions and EI. A significant moderated mediation index was also reported. Findings offer useful insight to the interplay among above mentioned variables and guide educational and organizational psychologists to employ core cognitive strategies for promoting entrepreneurial thoughts and channelizing the productive energies of students with malevolent tendencies through academic coaching.

“…Finally , in our research, we have examined four variables as intermediary variables. Future research can also question the intermediary effects of different variables such as Prevention and Promotion (Rey and Fischer-Kreer 2022 ) and Dark Triad Personality (Brownell et al 2021 ).…”

This study aims to examine the effect of institutions on entrepreneurial intentions, the mediation of individual motives in this relationship, and the moderating effect of the country. We tested a sample of 678 questionnaires using quantitative research methods. We used confirmatory factor, correlation, multiple regression, mediation, and moderated mediation analyses to analyze the data. Findings show that normative institutions affect entrepreneurial intentions in Turkey and Kosovo. They also reveal that the personal attitude, subjective norm, perceived behavioral control, and need for achievement have a full mediation relationship between regulatory institutions and entrepreneurial intentions and a partial mediation relationship between normative and cultural-cognitive institutions and entrepreneurial intentions. Finally, we found no moderating effect of the country in the relationship between institutions and entrepreneurial intentions. The study contributes to the literature and provides policy and managerial implications on the macro and micro factors that affect entrepreneurial intentions in developing and transition economies.
