“…Entrepreneurial intention (EI) is defined as an individual's willingness to develop entrepreneurial behaviors and to commit to launching a new business (Ceresia & Mendola, 2019). EI serves as a "cognitive representation of the actions" that individuals take (Fini et al, 2009, p. 5), and it is the most accurate predictor of a person subsequent commitment in entrepreneurship related activities (Çera et al, 2020;Virasa et al (2022)).…”

The purpose of this study is to highlight the role of various antecedents influencing the level of entrepreneurial intention by developing an integrated intention model that is based on social cognitive theory (SCT) and social cognitive career theory (SCCT). The hypotheses are validated by applying a meta‐analytic method to 94 primary studies that were published between 2004 and 2021. The findings provide empirical evidence and confirm that entrepreneurial passion is the strongest indicator to predict self‐efficacy and the willingness of entrepreneurs toward self‐employment. Role models and entrepreneurship education play a critical role as predictors of entrepreneurial perceptions and beliefs in driving entrepreneurial intention. In addition, age, gender, and work experience significantly moderate the relationship between entrepreneurial passion, role models, entrepreneurship education, self‐efficacy, and entrepreneurial intention, indicating that men are reported to be more skilled than women at discovering new business opportunities and turning them into actual companies. In particular, older women are often more successful than young women when they start businesses since they possess more entrepreneurial knowledge, and individuals with extensive prior experience have a strong belief in their abilities, which contributes to the formation of entrepreneurial intention. These findings are critical to understanding the antecedents of entrepreneurship‐related phenomena by reference to a particular set of demographic moderators when a meta‐analytic technique is adopted.

This article studies the entrepreneurial intention of Algerian students to explain the weakness in business creation in the country. Theoretical and empirical evidence on this subject is scarce, particularly among young Algerians. By combining two dominant research trends in the field of entrepreneurship, namely an approach based on contextual factors, and one based on individual characteristics, we examined the impact of perceived entrepreneurial climate and entrepreneurial self-efficacy on Algerian students’ entrepreneurial intentions. Our study, contextualized in the student environment, aims to analyze how entrepreneurship education moderated the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Based on a sample of 302 students, our survey yielded two important results. The first was the negative effect of perceived entrepreneurial climate on entrepreneurial intention. The second was that as a moderating factor, entrepreneurship education did not reinforce the significant direct influence of entrepreneurial self-efficacy on the intention to start a business among Algerian students. These insights may help improve the level of entrepreneurial intention within developing countries.

Despite years of research, scholars still have a limited understanding of the factors that lead individuals to start their own businesses. Drawing upon the crisis decision theory (CDT), the theory of planned behavior (TPB), the entrepreneurial event model (EEM), and previous research on entrepreneurial intentions (EIs), this study investigates the impact of a set of predictors (i.e., perceived crisis severity, entrepreneurial disposition, support from family/friends, university affiliation, gender, year of study, work experience, presence of a role model, and completion of an entrepreneurship class) on the outcome variable (i.e., EIs) of Generation Z in a highly tourism-dependent transitional economy. Pearson’s correlation and multiple regression were employed to analyze the data collected in May/June 2020 via a self-administered questionnaire from 300 tourism and hospitality students enrolled at five public universities in Croatia. The results indicate that entrepreneurial disposition, work experience, and gender are directly related to EI. The perceived crisis severity does not affect EI. These findings contribute to filling gaps in the existing research on entrepreneurship during major crises, on EIs of Gen Z, on the role of perceived crisis severity in EIs, and on the state of EIs in mono-industrial (i.e., dominated by one industry) crony capitalist ex-communist economies.
