“…Notably, age, education and gender have been suggested to be related to adaptability (O'Connell et al ., 2008). Additionally, they have been proposed as predictors of EI (Greene and Brush, 2018; Donnellon et al ., 2014; Mouraviev and Avramenko, 2020).…”

PurposeThis study explores the role of both trait-like (i.e. adaptability) and situational (previous small business ownership and rurality) variables, on entrepreneurial identity (EI) through a social identity theory lens.Design/methodology/approachPath analysis was used on 376 individuals from across the United States who met various criteria and were recruited using Prolific.FindingsAdaptability and previous small business ownership were found to be predictors of EI. Findings also highlight the moderating role of adaptability on the previous small business ownership-EI and rurality-EI links. Notably, highly adaptable individuals who have previously owned businesses tend to hold more of an EI, and those who are less adaptable and live in rural locations also tend to hold less of an EI.Practical implicationsUnderstanding the conditions under which individuals are likely to hold more of an EI may provide several benefits to organizations and individuals within society, including information that can be used to develop more fine-tuned career counseling and training, risk management strategies, and a more calculated allocation of finite resources.Originality/valueDespite both personal trait-like (i.e. focus/adaptability) and situational (i.e. rurality and previous small business ownership experience) factors likely playing a crucial role in the formation of individuals' perceptions, previous work has largely ignored their interaction in the development of EI. The authors test a model encompassing trait-like (i.e. focus/adaptability) and situational (rurality, previous small business ownership experience) predictors of EI, along with their interactive effects, and illuminate a more holistic picture of EI's antecedents.

“…Furthermore, there are other studies as well that assert the same that EI significantly influences EB ( Kickul et al, 2009 ). As studies have empirically established that intentions are a solid predictor of behavior, therefore, it is contended here that the presence of strong EI makes the initiation of entrepreneurial ventures highly likely ( Mouraviev and Avramenko, 2020 ). As a matter of fact, there is overwhelming empirical evidence provided by the studies focused on the United Kingdom, Finland, and Austria that well-informed intentions of individuals are most likely to translate into starting an entrepreneurial business set-up ( de Meza et al, 2019 ).…”

Since the impression of innovation is at the fundamental of commercial standing, therefore, Industries estimate innovation as their competitive advantage. Resultantly, industries devote a lot of resources understanding the versatile and dynamic nature of innovations and also keep on progressing innovation techniques and strategies. To meet the objectives of the study, we collected data from the students studying in Chinese universities. A survey questionnaire was designed to collect data from university students who were part of the TESOL program. A total of 224 valid questionnaires were used to proceed with the analysis, where descriptive statistics were calculated using SPSS 21, while hypothesis testing was carried out using Mplus 8. Results revealed the facts that both formal and informal education significantly predicted entrepreneurial behavior, while entrepreneurial intention was also found to mediate the relationship between formal and informal education and entrepreneurial behavior. Similarly, as per prediction, TESOL amplified communication apprehension also significantly moderated the relationships of formal and informal education with entrepreneurial behavior.

“…Other studies have been focusing on the main obstacles that this population group overcomes [20,21] and the motivations, skills, and opportunities for this group [17,[22][23][24]. Senior people, in addition to increasing their share in total population in most societies, accumulate a very valuable load of experience and maturity that any changing society should consider putting into value.…”

Intergenerational entrepreneurial initiatives are aimed at addressing the needs and opportunities of certain social groups and have the potential of becoming successful business projects. Moreover, they are a key to undertake sustainability practices that may represent a competitive advantage for the companies and an example to imitate when creating businesses. The objective of the study is to propose an intergenerational training methodology so that young people and seniors can create companies together, generating social cohesion and sustainable development in response to generational challenges. Intergenerational entrepreneurship seems to be a novel research area, especially when referring to developing methodologies of collaborative entrepreneurship projects. For this purpose, our literature review focuses on, first, the matching theories and experiences applied for intergenerational cooperation; then, literature about training methodologies for entrepreneurship is reviewed; finally, the main theories on training skills for entrepreneurship are approached. Focus groups were conducted as they serve as the main sources of data and are very appropriate for the generation of new ideas within a social context. In general, results show that, for achieving a successful intergenerational cooperation, some specific training is needed for both generations. This paper is a starting point for future research approaching intergenerational entrepreneurship, or entrepreneurial initiatives with singular characteristics, such as rural contexts or people with disabilities.
