“…This finding is inconsistent with some previous research involving entrepreneurial intent and the Big Five. In particular, Zhao, Seibert, and Lumpkin (2010) and Espíritu-Olmos and Sastre-Castillo (2015) found a positive relationship between extraversion and entrepreneurial intent. Results did, however, coincide with Zhao et al (2010) in that conscientiousness, openness, emotional stability (reverse coded neuroticism) had a positive relationship with entrepreneurial intent.…”

“…For example, a study conducted by Antoncic, Bratkovic Kregar, Singh, and DeNoble (2015) found entrepreneurial intent was associated with individuals who were high in openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, and average on agreeableness. Espíritu-Olmos and Sastre-Castillo (2015) found that personality traits predict entrepreneurial intention, aside from neuroticism, which was negatively related. Brice (2004) reported that people who were exceptionally open to experience or those who were high in conscientious as related positively to entrepreneurial intent.…”

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between grit and entrepreneurial intent. Grit involves maintaining effort and interest in the pursuit of long-term goals, despite adversity, stagnation, or failure. Entrepreneurial intentions are a well-established indicator that represents an individual's conscious determination to start a new business. Secondary variables included the personality traits measured in the Big Five model (openness to experience, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism). Survey data were collected from over 500 undergraduate students at a Midwestern university in the United States. The results confirmed that there was a strong positive association between grit and entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore, independent samples t-tests revealed that high grit students showed greater entrepreneurial intent than low grit students. The data also indicated that grit fully mediated the predictive effect of conscientious and neuroticism on entrepreneurial intent. Overall, a better understanding of the influence of grit on entrepreneurial intent, given the presence of various diverse personality constellations, may help inform educators in preparing and delivering course content. The influence of grit may reduce the failure rate of new and young businesses launched by college-educated entrepreneurs.

“…It is paramount to understand antecedents of entrepreneurial behavior which later lead to successful career in business. By considering this statement, Psychology and Entrepreneurship studies can support each other as Psychology provides antecedents underpinning human behavior including entrepreneurial behavior [3]. Moreover, culture also plays important roles in explaining human behavior and this also includes entrepreneurial behavior.…”

Abstract-This paper aimed at investigating the Bugis Value System and Work Ethics and their effect on Entrepreneurial Behavior among Bugis Entrepreneurs. In addition, this paper also focused on the connection between culture and the emergence of entrepreneurial behavior. Work Ethics emerges from cultural values within a country which favor a country to face day-to-day challenge. One's ethnicity is hardly separated from his/her culture and values. Social life is the reflection of culture and its values whereas they emerge from various sources such as from daily interaction within society or from ancient manuscripts. Bugis Value System can be tracked from many sources like Lontara manuscripts, folk tales, folk songs, and from other modern publications. In terms of entrepreneurial behaviors, the Bugis Value System contains certain values and teachings in which the people of Bugis might have taken as the source of their attitude and behavior. This system later contributes to their entrepreneurial behavior and influences their success in running business.

“…Over the years, various theoretical frameworks have been employed to investigate EI, including the entrepreneurial event model (Shapero, 1982), the theory of planned behaviour (Ajzen, 1991), and the universal values model or values theory (Schwartz, 1992). Aligned with contemporary investigations (Espíritu Olmos & Sastre-Castillo, 2015;Hoogendoorn et al, 2016), this study applies the universal values model in the context of craft brewing operators' EI. Similarly, in alignment with various studies (Díaz-García & Jiménez-Moreno, 2010;Fini et al, 2010), the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) is also employed.…”

LJMU Research Online Entrepreneurial intentions in an emerging industry: An exploratory study Abel Duarte Alonso and Nevil Alexander AbstractThis exploratory study examines entrepreneurial intentions in the emerging craft brewing industry from the perspective of predominantly micro and small craft brewery owners/brewing masters through the lens of the theories of universal values and planned behaviour. In doing so, the study makes a contribution to the existing academic literature on entrepreneurial intentions, micro and small businesses, and craft brewing industry. A contribution is also made by refining the adopted theoretical frameworks to study craft brewing entrepreneurship. Employing content analysis and word association revealed that passion for the craft brewing industry, turning a hobby into a professional undertaking, and professional and lifestyle changes-as compared to financial rewards-are predominant reasons for being involved in this industry. Alignments between the findings and universal values and two of the three predicting intentions was noticed, demonstrating the applicability of these theoretical frameworks in the context of the industry under examination.
