“…Profiles of values have not been studied systematically yet, but some studies point to the usefulness of this direction. For example, recent studies indicate that students' entrepreneurial intentions are best predicted by the value profile that combines an emphasis on openness to change and self enhancement values (Hirschi & Fischer, 2013;Gorgievski, Stephan, Laguna, © 2018 International Association of Applied Psychology. & Moriano, 2018).…”

This paper reviews and integrates past research on personal values in work organisations, seeking to portray the role personal values play in shaping the choices and behaviour of individuals in work settings. We start by addressing the role of values in the occupational choice people make. We then review research on the relationships of personal values to a variety of behaviours at work. We continue with discussing the multiple paths through which managers’ values affect organisations and their members. In the last section, we address the interplay between organisational levels, and discuss the congruency between personal and organisational values and its implications for organisations and their employees. Together, the research reviewed indicates how the broadness and stability of values make them an important predictor of behaviour at various levels of the organisation. We end by discussing directions for future research on values in organisations.

“…Entrepreneurial intentions based on individual ideas and the opportunity to start a business (Shapero & Sokol, 1982). Literature indicates that attitude is essential in explaining individuals' intention (Esfandiar et al, 2019;Gorgievski, Stephan, Laguna, & Moriano, 2018). CPEC provides several business opportunities for an individual in different sectors such as construction, property, and manufacturing industries (Maqsood, 2018;Raza et al, 2018;Tong, 2015).…”

“…CPEC provides several business opportunities for an individual in different sectors such as construction, property, and manufacturing industries (Maqsood, 2018;Raza et al, 2018;Tong, 2015). Scholars suggested that individual attitude will be changed by benefits, which subsequently create entrepreneurial intention (Al-Jubari, Hassan, & Liñán, 2018;Esfandiar et al, 2019;Gorgievski et al, 2018).…”

This research explores a very important issue arising from the initiation of China–Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) in Pakistan, as the major impact seems to be focused towards small businesses and how they will cope in this competitive market once Chinese businesses enter in the country. According to scholars and officials, CPEC will generate several business opportunities for the local Pakistani community. However, studies related to the CPEC project are limited and only focused on the development of the CPEC project in various aspects alone. The existing study examined the local entrepreneur's attitude and intention in the context of CPEC using a sample of 255 survey questionnaires. Structural equation modeling was used to test the proposed hypotheses. Data were gathered from the existing business community in Karachi, Pakistan. The results validated most of the hypotheses showing positive attitude towards entrepreneurs and intention towards CPEC development project. Specifically, local transportation and accessibility of cities show a significant relationship with a positive attitude. Similarly, the attitude of entrepreneurs also shows a positive relationship with entrepreneur's intention towards CPEC development projects. Findings have important theoretical and practical implications for policymakers of CPEC in creating an overall entrepreneurial ecosystem.

“…It predicts that entrepreneurial behavior will be based on individual's intentions which are themselves determined by attitudes, social norms and perceived behavior control/self-efficacy beliefs (Ajzen, 1991). In turn, sociodemographic characteristics (Lakovleva, Kolvereid, & Stephan, 2011), personality traits (Karimi et al, 2017) and personal preferences such as values (Gorgievski, Stephan, Laguna, & Moriano, 2017) impact entrepreneurial career choice indirectly through their influence on attitudes, social norms and self-efficacy. Research has shown that the TPB predicts future entrepreneurial behavior in longitudinal studies (albeit in developed economies, Kolvereid & Isaksen, 2006;Van Gelderen, Kautonen, & Fink, 2015) and TPB is also supported by experimental evidence in other domains (Webb & Sheeran, 2006).…”

The level of entrepreneurial activity is higher in emerging markets than in developed economies, driven by high levels of necessity entry and less daunting entry barriers, especially in the informal sector. However, a gap remains in our understanding of its extent and of the drivers of its change. This chapter addresses this gap by conceptualizing and providing evidence about the scale and nature of entrepreneurship in emerging markets. The chapter begins with an empirical analysis of entrepreneurship in emerging economies. In particular, it contrasts the way in which human capital is utilized by entrepreneurs in emerging market economies and in developed countries. The chapter goes on to the theme of human capital, bringing in theory, and considering entrepreneurship in emerging economies at the individual level as well as the role of entrepreneurs’ social capital in the emerging economy context. Furthermore, it considers the scale and impact of the repatriation of human and social capital from abroad, which is found to play an important role in entrepreneurship in many emerging economies, especially when considering innovation. The survey goes on to provide a macro-level analysis, with cross-country comparisons of the effects of institutions and finance on entrepreneurial activity in emerging markets. It concludes by suggesting avenues for future research.
