“…To analyze the conditions leading to the occurrence of both traditional EIs and SEIs, this research used fsQCA (Ragin, 1987). The fsQCA method, although relatively new in scholarship on entrepreneurship, has proven highly useful in furthering the understanding of a variety of phenomena (Douglas et al, 2020;Hand et al, 2020;Renko et al, 2020;S ¸ahin et al, 2019) because it reveals fine-grained details about complex entrepreneurial phenomena and is well-suited for dealing with complex causal relationships (Misangyi et al, 2017). In addition, Kraus et al (2018, p. 27) agreed that the fsQCA approach is a relevant data analysis method in entrepreneurship research, given it shapes human thinking and crafts theory.…”

PurposeBuilding on construal level theory (CLT), this study explores mental representations of entrepreneurial intentions (EIs) with different foci (i.e. social and commercial) among university students from Generations Y and Z.Design/methodology/approachUsing a sample of university students from the United States contacted through the Entrepreneurship Education Project, this study employs a configurational perspective—fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA)—to identify the pathways leading to EIs and social entrepreneurial intentions (SEIs).FindingsResults show that the configurations of conditions leading to the outcomes (EI and SEI) are not disparate but share far more similarities even when considering socially oriented antecedents, supporting the claim that students perceive both EIs with different foci as high-level construals. The results also demonstrate no differences within gender, but there are asymmetries between gender in the configurations leading to EI and SEI.Research limitations/implicationsThis study contributes to EI literature by providing new insights into understanding how individuals perceive EIs at an early stage of entrepreneurship and by bringing CLT to the EI literature.Practical implicationsThese results have implications for entrepreneurship education and practice, as it recognizes that students' EIs are psychologically distant, lacking a level of detail and specificity. This would explain why students do not immediately create ventures, but that entrepreneurship has a certain incubation time to create an entrepreneurial mindset.Originality/valueExploring the configurational approaches can help to uncover the complexity and idiosyncrasies underlying EIs.

“…The current paper posits that residents' pro-environmental behaviour (PEB), both high and low-effort may positively influence residents' support for tourism development. Residents engaging in low-effort pro-environmental behaviours (picking up litter, waste sorting, not feeding birds) (Halpenny, 2010;Ramkissoon et al, 2013aRamkissoon et al, , 2003b) at attractions in their neighbourhood (parks, shopping malls, museums) may be more likely to engage in place protective behaviours and support tourism development when they see the efficacy of their behaviours (see Hand et al, 2020). For instance, residents' individual and collective efforts may result in a cleaner neighbourhood with environmental settings fulfilling their functional purpose (e.g.…”

Residents' overall well-being and quality-of-life require a deeper understanding of their perceived social impacts of tourism to determine appropriate management strategies to promote behaviours in support of tourism development. Aligning with the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development, this paper proposes a new framework for residents' quality-of-life. Bringing together multi-disciplinary evidence from environmental, social and cognitive psychology, political science and tourism, this study critically examines how residents' perceived social impacts of tourism and their interpersonal trust can make them become more place attached and protect their tourism resources. The framework proposes that residents' perceived social impacts of tourism exerts a direct influence on residents' interpersonal trust. It further posits that residents' perceived social impacts of tourism and their interpersonal trust exert a direct influence on residents' place attachment. The proposed model further considers place attachment to exert a direct influence on residents' pro-social and pro-environmental behavioural intentions. Prosocial behaviour is proposed to influence pro-environmental behaviour. Further pro-social and pro-environmental behaviours are proposed to influence residents' support for tourism development. The framework then considers residents' support for tourism development to exert a direct influence on residents' overall quality-of-life. The theoretical contributions, practical implications for sustainable community tourism and sustainable tourism in general and the limitations of the study are discussed.

“…Furthermore, we advance the literature on entrepreneurial self-efficacy (Hand et al, 2020;Multon et al, 1991); as suggest Brändle et al (2018), a few empirical studies highlight the indirect relationship between entrepreneurial identity and nascent entrepreneurial behaviour. Thirdly, building on survey data, the objective of this study was to identify the impact of social identities on how different entrepreneurial identities influence nascent entrepreneurial behaviour.…”

“…The use of social identities assists the individuals in understanding and describing the heterogeneous actions used for starting a new business (Pan et al, 2019). Hand et al (2020) suggest that entrepreneurial self-efficacy plays a vital role in the field of entrepreneurship research (Multon et al, 1991). Therefore, individuals must experience entrepreneurial self-efficacy, which supports them to perform better in uncertain environment situations.…”

The objective of this article is to investigate the influence of entrepreneurial social identities (Darwinian, missionary, and communitarian) on nascent entrepreneurial behaviour with the mediating effect of entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Research Design & Methods:The study is based on a research sample of 455 students from public sector universities of Punjab, Pakistan. The survey questionnaire was developed along with PLS-SEM partial least squares structural equation modelling technique to examine the research model and hypotheses. Findings: The findings indicate that (Darwinian, missionary, and communitarian) social identities are positively and significantly related to nascent entrepreneurial behaviour. The results also show that entrepreneurial self-efficacy is a key mediator that affects the relationship between social identities and nascent entrepreneurial behaviour. Implications & Recommendations:The findings have important practical and academic implications for both universities and policymakers to foster student's entrepreneurial social identities and develop an entrepreneurial nascent behaviour to become an entrepreneur. Contribution & Value Added:This study is the first attempt that contributes to the field of social psychology and entrepreneurship by taking the entrepreneurial self-efficacy as a mediator and investigates the influence of entrepreneurial social identities (Darwinian, missionary, communitarian) on nascent entrepreneurial behaviour among students in Pakistan.
