“…Entrepreneurial attitudes and propensities may also vary by national and cultural norms, such that in certain regions of the world, the emphasis on individuals to create and run their own small businesses is greater (Montiel-Campos, 2018; Khizindar and Darley, 2001). This is often attributed to cross-national differences in economic development, differences in the availability of corporate employment opportunities, labor market shortage, accessibility to public higher education and the presence of the appropriate support systems to foster entrepreneurship (Agrawal and Lenka, 2016; Baughn and Neupert, 2003).…”

“…New business ventures account for a significant portion of growth in most economies (Audretsch et al , 2008; Spinelli and Adams, 2015). A review of the literature indicates that entrepreneurial orientations are linked to market orientation (Montiel-Campos, 2018) and play a critical role in the success of new ventures with social and consumer-centric mandates (Roundy, 2017). Knowledge of how to innovate is therefore critical to the development of successful business models (Morris et al , 2005) and the economic prosperity of nations.…”

Purpose Entrepreneurial aspirations are essential to the creation and survival of many businesses and to the economic development of nations. Understanding the drivers of entrepreneurial intentions is therefore of central importance from both academic and public policy perspectives. This study aims to explore how entrepreneurial intentions are affected by an individual’s need for cognition (NFC), gender, risk preferences and educational profile. Design/methodology/approach Using survey data from 668 individuals, the effects of the above factors are empirically established and the mediating role of decision confidence is also examined. Findings The results indicate that NFC, gender and risk preferences affect entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore cross-disciplinary differences in entrepreneurial intentions are found within the different sub-disciplines of business. Research limitations/implications This paper expands the current body of literature by exploring the combined NFC with risk preferences and gender, on individuals’ entrepreneurial intentions. Furthermore, the entrepreneurial intentions of marketing majors are also contrasted with those of other majors. Practical implications The findings of the study identify drivers of entrepreneurial intentions and their varying effects. The results can assist in the development and customization of training programs for entrepreneurs. Originality/value To the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study to examine the combined effects of NFC, gender, risk preferences and educational profile on entrepreneurial intentions.

“…Entrepreneurial passion is a core trait that entrepreneurs must possess, which can encourage entrepreneurs to conduct entrepreneurial behaviors. When entrepreneurs face difficulties, entrepreneurial passion can be used as a support force to keep them going (Costa et al, 2018;Montiel-Campos, 2018). By persisting in entrepreneurial behavior, relentlessly pursuing established goals, and investing a lot of time and energy, entrepreneurs can achieve successful entrepreneurship and obtain economic benefits (Milanesi, 2018).…”

In order to study the influence of entrepreneurial passion on entrepreneurs' psychology and behavior, based on the theory of self-efficacy, a model of relationship between entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneurs' psychology and behavior was constructed, relevant hypotheses were proposed, and the promotion mechanism of entrepreneurial passion on entrepreneurial behavior and enterprise performance was analyzed. A survey of 300 entrepreneurs from Hangzhou, Wenzhou, Jiaxing, Shaoxing, and Huzhou was conducted to verify the reliability of the questionnaire through statistical description and analysis. Then exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were conducted to test the correlation between variables. Finally, the structural equation was simulated to verify the correctness of the proposed hypothesis and model. The results show that the designed questionnaire has good reliability [the correction item total correlation coefficients (CITC) of all scales are greater than 0.3, values of Cronbach's α are higher than 0.6], the validity (all inventory accumulation explanation degree are higher than 50%) and the fitting (χ 2 /df values of all scales are less than 3, comparative fitness index (CFI), goodness of fitness index (GFI), and incremental fitness index (IFI) are greater than 0.9, root-mean-square error of approximation (RMSEA) value is less than 0.08). The direct effect of harmonious passion on entrepreneurial persistence and enterprise performance is not significant, while the direct effect of compulsive passion on entrepreneurial persistence and enterprise performance is significant. Harmonious passion (P < 0.001) and compulsive passion (P < 0.01) are significantly correlated with entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and self-efficacy plays a mediating role between entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneur psychology and behavior (P < 0.05), and the hypothesis proposed is basically valid. Therefore, entrepreneurial passion can positively guide the entrepreneurial persistence of entrepreneurs, and at the same time promote the performance of enterprises by stimulating the positive emotions of entrepreneurs. In addition, entrepreneurs can enhance their entrepreneurial role identity, maintain a positive attitude, stimulate creativity, and innovation, to enhance their sense of energy efficiency. The government can also promote successful business cases to build an

“…Presently, scholars are applying passion theory to understand entrepreneurial behaviour. Passion theory can be used to explain entrepreneurial behaviour because passion is a central characteristic to have for inspiration (Montiel-Campos, 2018). By persevering and tirelessly following goals, entrepreneurs achieve success (Al Issa, 2020;Milanesi, 2018).…”

The objective of the article is to investigate the influence of passion on entrepreneurial career success while the mediating effects of persistence and risk-taking propensity between passion and success are explored. Research Design & Methods: Questionnaires were administered to collect data about passion, persistence, entrepreneurial career success, and risk-taking. PLS-SEM was applied for testing the hypotheses with the use of 256 usable responses. Findings: Statistically significant and positive relationships were found in the direct relationships: passion-persistence, passion-risk-taking, passion-success, persistence-success, and risk-taking-success, while persistence and risk-taking were found to mediate the passion-success association. Implications & Recommendations:The importance of passion as an influence is verified and can be utilised for nurturing efforts that drive positive persistence and risk-taking propensity for entrepreneurial career success. Contribution & Value Added: The shortage of studies that explored the relationships between passion, persistence, and risk-taking for the career success of entrepreneurs motivated the present research. Exploring the intervening effect of risk-taking propensity and persistence between passion and success is unprecedented. Article type:research article
