“…Moradi et al made a qualitative study in the academic entrepreneurship ecosystem field, and as a result, the main institutional factors of the academic entrepreneurship ecosystem at these levels are in the national level, good governmental, political, economic, cultural, judicial and legislative institutions, in the industry level, industry, market institution and facilitating organisations, and in the organisational level, management, technology, culture, regulation and finance institution. Palalic et al (2020) examined entrepreneurship in terms of gender, and as a result, overall, female respondents scored better in entrepreneurial dimensions than males.…”

Entrepreneurship, especially among university students, measuring perception/tendency has been very popular in recent years due to reasons such as the importance of the subject, research applicability, reaching the target audience and relatively low research costs. In this context, it emphasises that the willingness, determination and predisposition of young people who will enter the business life to make a new venture and do their own business and their career planning are also important for entrepreneurial tendencies. In the context of this study, an adaptation study of the relevant scale developed by Schmidt Bohnenberger, Panizzon, Marcon, Toivonen and Lampinen into Turkish was carried out in order to determine undergraduate students’ entrepreneurial behaviour. The validity and reliability studies of the scale were carried out with the participation of 185 undergraduate students studying in different departments. Exploratory factor analysis was used to serve structure validity. At the end of the study, a seven-dimensional scale consisting of 40 items explaining 89.62% of the total variance was obtained. The internal consistency coefficient of the scale calculated with Cronbach’s alpha was 0.95. As a result, it contributed to the field by introducing a scale with proven reliability and validity. Keywords: Entrepreneurship behaviour, undergraduate students, scale adaptation, validity–reliability.

“…Human capital is essential and positively impacts organizational success, particularly the migration of resourceful people from one place to another (Palalić et al , 2020). The human capital of returnee entrepreneurs, including knowledge, differentiates them from low-skilled non-returnee entrepreneurs (Liu et al , 2010).…”

Purpose This study aims to examine the role of returning Somali diaspora entrepreneurs on firm performance and their perceived environmental obstacles. Design/methodology/approach The paper draws on a broad literature review and covers a theoretical background to develop a research framework. It presents several propositions to be empirically tested to determine the influence of returnee entrepreneurs’ success and the challenges they face in the process. Findings The paper offers an overview of how Somali diaspora returnee entrepreneurs can use their resources to succeed in their business and the possible environmental uncertainties that could hinder them. The study highlights some under-researched areas and provides future research directions. Research limitations/implications A research investigation is needed to test the proposed conceptual framework empirically. Further research is also recommended to use other predictors when investigating the perceived environmental uncertainty faced by returnee entrepreneurs. Practical implications In the diaspora entrepreneurship literature, returnee entrepreneurs in post-conflict African countries did not get enough attention. Hence, the study will contribute theoretically to the literature. Originality/value The paper provides a conceptual framework that will help understand returnee entrepreneurs in post-conflict states in Africa, paving the way for empirical studies on the topic.

“…Some economic systems prevent, while others encourage learning certain skill sets necessary for organizations to succeed (Dana, 1987). Leadership in any society (Palalić et al, 2019; Palalić et al, 2020) is also very important for its overall success. Different factors in different regions (Palalic, 2017; Palalic et al, 2016) all play a rudimentary role in shaping the overall educational ecosystem in any given society.…”

“…It means accumulation of HC through migration is temporarily stopped. Actually, emigration policies in many cases are terminated, which for countries in transition, from which most people tend to emigrate (Palalić, Bičo, Ramadani, & Dana, 2020), is a prime time to make reverse brain drain.…”

“…The beginning of this millennium thus far has seen huge waves of HC flight. Some people have chosen to emigrate due to violent conflicts, a lack of political freedom, or other similar reasons (Palalić et al, 2020). The loss of local skilled personnel, highly educated people, academicians, and similar high‐status positions is widely known as the brain drain (Dodani & LaPorte, 2005; Gërmenji & Milo, 2011; Ngoma & Ismail, 2013; Odhiambo, 2013; Rizvi, 2005; Schaeffer, 2005; Tefera, 2014a, 2014b).…”

Every society's future lies in its youth, which can be considered a critical milestone for a nation's sociopolitical development. This research examines the young population attempting to identify and explores the students' perceptions about migration, their postulates, and the reasoning why so many students ultimately choose to emigrate. Data were collected in a questionnaire survey of 206 randomly selected students from Bosnia and Herzegovina. Some different multivariate analyses were performed to test the hypotheses. Other results were further discussed. Resultsshow that the country's legal framework is a key reason for the prevailing poor living standard. This has resulted in a large number of youths leaving the country. Overall, both the legal framework (for both young entrepreneurs and women) and the overall standard of living (quality of life, well-being, salary, retirement, and education) are correlated with people choosing to emigrate. Furthermore, theoretical and practical implications are discussed. As far as we know, this is the first empirical study on this particular region that investigates the youth migration trends considered an important milestone for human capital development.
