“…Therefore, excessive administrative or labor regulation is detrimental for entrepreneurship (Begley, Tan, & Schoch, 2005;Grilo & Thurik, 2005;Hart, 2003;Stephen, Urbano, & van Hemmen, 2009).

Abstract:We examine the relationships between entrepreneurs' values, beliefs and orientations with their firms' engagement in sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial actions, using a sample of 352 newly established businesses from two Asian countries (Bangladesh and Iran). Our results reveal a dual role of entrepreneurs' values, beliefs and orientations when taking sustainability-oriented actions. We confirm that individual differences in the set of values, beliefs and orientations can foster or hinder the sustainability-oriented actions across organizations. Our paper contributes to the growing literature of sustainable entrepreneurship, by providing answers for recent calls for better understanding which entrepreneurial ventures engage more in sustainability-oriented actions.

“…In addition, Méndez-Picazo et al [60] also explored the impacts of governance on economic development, and argued that government could influence entrepreneurship by designing economic growth-enhancing policies to promote economic growth. Consistent with Méndez-Picazo et al [60], Mas-Tur and Soriano [110] highlighted the importance of technology and consultant assistance provided by government for young innovative companies to develop into stronger businesses. In China, some policies suspend one's schooling without losing one's status as a student for him to engage in entrepreneurship.…”

This study examined the relationships between Big Six personality and entrepreneurial intention, inclusive of the mediating role of entrepreneurial self-efficacy in the Chinese context. Survey data from 280 college students reveal that Emotional Stability, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, and Interpersonal Relationship were positively associated with entrepreneurial intention. Agreeableness and Openness, however, had no effect on entrepreneurial intention in this study. Mediation analysis further indicated that Emotional Stability, Conscientiousness, Extraversion, and Interpersonal Relationship affected entrepreneurial self-efficacy, thus playing an indirect impact on entrepreneurial intention. In contrast, Agreeableness and Openness had no mediating role in the present study. These findings validate the bridge mechanism of entrepreneurial self-efficacy underlying the relationships between Big Six personality and entrepreneurial intention. These results highlight the direct role of sustainable personality as a predictor of entrepreneurial intention, especially as we note the decisive effect of the Interpersonal Relationship dimension in the Chinese context for the first time.
