“…Based on the research, various personal and environmental factors such as the work conditions and personal traits of entrepreneurs can influence their well-being ( Stephan, 2018 ; Marshall et al, 2020 ). For instance, Shir et al (2019) and Lanivich et al (2021) used self-determination theory to develop a research model and explore the relationship between the satisfaction of entrepreneurs’ three basic psychological needs – autonomy, competence, and relatedness – and their well-being. Marshall et al (2020) theorized in their study that feelings of well-being for entrepreneurs with access to resources and self-efficacy will lead to greater persistence with startup activities.…”

“…Therefore, researchers have investigated well-being as an entrepreneurial outcome and have focused on factors and mechanisms that can influence entrepreneurs’ mental health in recent years ( Stephan et al, 2022 ). Nonetheless, robust theories have not been well developed for studying the factors underpinning entrepreneurs’ well-being yet and there is not a full understanding of its antecedents and outcomes ( Shir et al, 2019 ; Lanivich et al, 2021 ). Recent research studies have revealed that various factors influence entrepreneurs’ well-being, such as business type, personality traits, and environmental conditions (e.g., Stephan, 2018 ; Marshall et al, 2020 ).…”

Studies regarding rural entrepreneurs in developing countries and, specifically, their well-being have not been sufficiently developed in the literature. The present study was an attempt to fill this gap and to examine important antecedents and outcomes associated with entrepreneurial well-being among a sample of 102 Iranian rural entrepreneurs. This research established a theoretical research model that highlighted the relationships among job fit, entrepreneurial passion, well-being, and persistence. The results of structural equation modeling supported the hypothesized model. In particular, the results indicated that higher job fit was associated with higher levels of entrepreneurial well-being through an entrepreneurial passion mechanism. Moreover, the results supported the hypothesized serial mediating effect. In other words, a high level of job fit enhances entrepreneurial persistence through a high level of entrepreneurial passion and well-being. This study provides significant input to policymakers and practitioners in their efforts to promote the antecedents and outcomes of well-being among rural entrepreneurs.

“…The theory employs a broad humanistic approach to motivation and personality development and offers a broad framework for understanding the factors that promote human motivation and behaviors, particularly the intrinsic motivation ( Deci and Ryan, 2008 ). Prior studies have used self-determination theory in entrepreneurship research to discuss the relationship between the satisfaction of entrepreneurs’ three basic psychological needs – autonomy, competence, and relatedness – and their well-being ( Al-Jubari et al, 2019 ; Shir et al, 2019 ; Lanivich et al, 2021 ). Although research on entrepreneurs’ felt responsibility research is growing ( Baron, 2007 ; Elena et al, 2020 ), studies on explaining how and why entrepreneurs’ responsibility impacts entrepreneurial performance are still in infancy.…”

Drawing on self-determination theory, we examine the mechanism through which entrepreneurs’ felt responsibility for constructive change affects entrepreneurial performance and how market orientation affects the influencing mechanism. A questionnaire survey was conducted with 424 entrepreneurs in China. The results show that entrepreneurs’ felt responsibility for constructive change is positively related to technology action and entrepreneurial performance, and technology action mediates the relationship between entrepreneurs’ felt responsibility for constructive change and entrepreneurial performance. In addition, market orientation moderates the relationship between technology action and entrepreneurial performance such that the relationship is stronger when the market orientation is higher. Our findings suggest that when entrepreneur feel responsible for constructive change, they tend to take technology actions to achieve their goals and improve the long-term development of ventures. It is also important for entrepreneurs to hold a market orientation, which helps them be aware of changes in customer needs rather than blindly focusing on the use of the latest technologies. Our study is pioneering in exploring entrepreneurs’ felt responsibility for constructive change in the entrepreneurial context, advancing the research on entrepreneurship psychology.

“…We encourage scholars to consider alternative outcome variable, such as well-being (e.g. Lanivich et al, 2021), when designing constructive replications of this work or developing related research into nascent entrepreneurship. This study sheds light on the context of pre-venture assistance programs, and the characteristics of nascent entrepreneurs who perceived success after their PAP completion.…”

PurposeSocial cognitive theory suggests that entrepreneurs' characteristics affect entrepreneurial outcomes through interaction with their environment. This study examines the relationship between entrepreneurs' characteristics and performance in the context of entrepreneurial nascence.Design/methodology/approachThis study investigated lagged-panel responses from a sample of 100 confirmed nascent entrepreneurs. Data collected on three separate occasions included core self-evaluations, commitment, fear of failure and success. PLS analysis was used to assess mediation of commitment on the self-evaluation – success relationship.FindingsCore self-evaluations are an important predictor of entrepreneurial success in nascent-stage entrepreneurs participating in pre-venture assistance programs; positively affecting success and commitment, while negatively affecting fear of failure.Research limitations/implicationsThis investigation contributes to a fuller understanding of social cognitive theory as it pertains to nascent entrepreneurship. Furthermore, contrary to general expectations found in the entrepreneurship literature, the authors uncover a context where entrepreneurs' characteristics are relevant predictors of early entrepreneurial outcomes.Practical implicationsResults showed core self-evaluations as a robust predictor of perceived success in nascent entrepreneurs. Administrators of pre-venture assistance programs should consider screening applicants to programs designed to assist nascent entrepreneurial opportunity development for signs of high core self-evaluations.Originality/valueThis study advances theory by (1) demonstrating the value of assessing nascent entrepreneurs' core self-evaluations as a specific predictor of early-stage entrepreneurial outcomes, (2) suggesting social interaction amidst participation in pre-venture assistance programs makes commitment a salient part of perceived success and (3) providing evidence that entrepreneur-level characteristics need consideration in the context of nascent entrepreneurship and pre-venture assistance programs.
