“…Entrepreneurial intention refers to an individual's willingness to adopt entrepreneurial behavior or commitment to start a new business. Numerous researchers used intention-based models to predict different types of personalities with regard to entrepreneurial intention because it inspires individuals to engage in entrepreneurial behavior, which eventually demonstrates the efforts that an individual is ready to make in business development activities (Fuller et al 2018;Muñoz-Bullón et al 2015). According to the theory of self-concept, an individual's motives and thoughts rely on the self-assessment of the situation (Jakobwitz and Egan 2006).…”

The impact of negative personality traits on entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial behavior has become a research focus in the field of entrepreneurship. This study aimed to identify the influence of dark tetrad personality traits on the nascent entrepreneurial behavior and the mediating role of entrepreneurial intention. This study used partial least square-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypotheses on a sample of 347 undergraduate and postgraduate university students from China. The results of this study revealed that narcissism, psychopathy, Machiavellianism, and sadism have a positive and significant influence on nascent entrepreneurial behavior and entrepreneurial intention, which significantly partially mediates the relationship between dark tetrad and nascent entrepreneurial behavior. The finding of the study implies China’s higher education and policymakers to unlock the hidden potential of its youth. This study contributes to the emerging literature on psychology and entrepreneurship and provides evidence that individuals with a high level of dark tetrad are more likely to be involved in entrepreneurial action.

“…However, women entrepreneurs' journey in international trade is not the same as for their counterparts [2,10,45]. Muñoz-Bullón, Sánchez-Bueno, and Vos-Saz [46] found that entrepreneurial personality traits, such as proactiveness, risk-taking, and innovativeness, have a significant influence on the entrepreneur's entry into foreign markets.…”

Participation of women-owned small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in international trade is gaining more importance in the transformation of institutional changes. Although women entrepreneurs contribute to the social and economic development, the role of social, cultural, and legal institutions in fostering women entrepreneurship is still debatable. This argument remains controversial as there is no single theory that has explained the phenomenon of women-owned firms in international trade. Because of the missing link between gender sensitivity and the existing theories of entrepreneurship and internationalization, there is a significant research gap. To fill up this research gap, this study revisited existing theories from three research domains: feminism, entrepreneurship, and internationalization. Factors derived from revisiting theories of entrepreneurship and internationalization were evaluated based on findings from the review of the feminist theories. Finally, key parameters were selected to assess the internationalization of women-owned SMEs, which require future empirical investigation.

“…However, we were unable to find a comparable study on the traditional individual determinants of entrepreneurial behaviour described in the literature (e.g. Parker, 2004;Simoes et al, 2016;Muñoz-Bullón et al, 2015;van der Zwan et al, 2016;Mahto & McDowell, 2018;Laguía et al, 2019;Boudreaux et al, 2019). Following Davidsson´s (2015) and Delmar´s (2015) call for replication of empirical research in entrepreneurship studies with a focus on regional context, we conduct a comparative study on understanding the differences between wage-employed, solo self-employed individuals, and employer entrepreneurs in Visegrad countries.…”
