“…An enormous body of literature exists on how managerial cognition relates to environmental strategies, but few studies have been found that signify how the evolution of managerial cognition interlinks with environmental strategies (Yang et al, 2019). Moreover, a study has demonstrated that the intensity of motivation also invigorates cognitive capability (Shepherd and Patzelt, 2018), which ultimately assists individuals in taking drastic steps under unpredictable circumstances. Additionally, it has been witnessed that cognitive behavior under the umbrella of the social aspect does influence strategic decisions (Bromiley and Rau, 2016), as it compels the upper echelon to work diligently for the firm's growth.…”

One aspect of entrepreneurship psychology also clarifies individual characteristics. Drawing from entrepreneurship psychology, the concept of a cognitive CEO has been formulated using the DAE statistical technique. The study elucidates that cognitive CEOs not only boost SME performance but also invigorate CSR activity. Data for listed SMEs for the years 2016-2018 are analyzed through the panel regression technique. Significantly, the study demonstrates that CEO age is positively interlinked with the growth and CSR activity of the firm. Moreover, the empirical underpinning of the results also reveals that state-owned enterprises and firms with high total assets prefer cognitive CEOs, who accelerate the firm's value and invigorate CSR activity. The number of independent directors is analyzed as a moderator and is concluded to be an intensifier for both SME growth and CSR activity. Finally, 2SLS instrumental panel regression is used to validate the veracity of the empirical results.

“…Entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial passion are capacities that individuals show when generating new ideas; however, there are barriers that impede the development of creative thinking, and they impact in two directions to the passion to start a new business (positive and/or negative) (Smith & Beasley, 2011). Cognitive theory and self-determination have suggested that individuals create and move through impulses that move them toward clearly preestablished goals, achievement, and self-realization (Shepherd, Patzelt, Shepherd, & Patzelt, 2018). Therefore, from the point of view of psychology, the individual's knowledge has become a resource and a capacity that allows for effective decision making and more rational human behavior (De Carolis & Saparito, 2006;Mitchell et al, 2007).…”

The purpose of this article is to analyze the internal and external barriers experienced by university students of the Technological Institute of Sonora (ITSON) for the development of entrepreneurship. The study is focused on a sample of 733 students from the areas of engineering, administrative sciences, and social sciences. The field work was carried out during the months of May to September 2018. The controlled statistical technique for data analysis was the structural equation model (SEM) with the support of SMARTPLS software version 3.2.8. The results have revealed that internal creativity barriers are the ones that most negatively impact the entrepreneurial passion of ITSON university students. This research contributes to the development of entrepreneurship literature from the area of psychology and business sciences through planned behavior theory, cognitive theory, and self-determination.

“…Based on the notion that individuals select professional and job opportunities in line with their values (Schwartz, 1992), we argue that those with higher openness-to-change values are more likely to be entrepreneurs as they give priority to independence and curiosity, are more daring and are tolerant of change. Although not always framed within motivational theory (Licht, 2010), contemporary research provides evidence for the relevance of self-direction and stimulation (Noseleit, 2010; Shepherd and Patzelt, 2018), the search for autonomy (Douglas, 2013) and variety (Astebro and Thompson, 2007) as key entrepreneurial determinants. Conversely, those less comfortable with changing circumstances observing the principle of ‘tried, tested, and true’ associated with conservation values are less likely to pursue entrepreneurial careers (Licht, 2010).…”

Answering research calls for better contextualisation of entrepreneurial behaviour, we examine the cultural contexts in which individuals with entrepreneurial values (Schwartz’s self-enhancement- and openness-to-change values) are most likely to be entrepreneurs. Culture is assessed through Schwartz’s cultural dimensions of mastery and egalitarianism. The results of multilevel logistic regressions with more than 35,000 respondents nested in 28 European countries support the hypotheses that individual values are more important for explaining entrepreneurship in non-entrepreneurial cultures (low in mastery and egalitarianism). Our results indicate that mastery compensates for openness-to-change, whereas egalitarianism reduces the impact of both self-enhancement and openness-to-change values.
