“…As the findings of the study are in line with previously conducted studies, it is expected that the study will provide guidelines for various stakeholders in Saudi Arabia related to the importance of developing the psychological characteristics of small entrepreneurs, particularly their entrepreneurial resilience [2,14,28,47,51]. That is to say, to help small entrepreneurs succeed in general in their business endeavours, particularly during adverse times.…”

This study’s objective is to examine the influence of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and internal locus of control on the entrepreneurial intention of small Saudi entrepreneurs during adverse times, with entrepreneurial resilience as a moderator. The study, which targeted a sample of 207 small entrepreneurs working in various sectors in Saudi Arabia, gathered data through an online questionnaire sent to respondents and analysed the results using PLS-SEM. The study revealed intriguing findings, such as the existence of a positive significant relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy, internal locus of control and entrepreneurial intention amongst small Saudi entrepreneurs. It also demonstrated that in times of adversity, such as during the COVID-19 pandemic and other environmental challenges, entrepreneurial resilience can act as a moderator between entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Entrepreneurial resilience, in particular, has the potential to strengthen the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial intention. Accordingly, the government, along with other sectors and stakeholders in Saudi Arabia, should continue to support the psychological characteristics of small Saudi entrepreneurs, notably their internal locus of control, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and entrepreneurial resilience to ensure greater sustainability and the continuity of their small businesses.

This study examined the impact of social influence, i.e., parents and peers, on the level of financial literacy among Saudi young adults (students). It also assessed the effect of financial literacy on the development of saving behaviour and the role of self-control as a moderator in the relationship between financial literacy and saving behaviour among the same respondents. The study’s sample included 270 respondents (male and female) from an applied college affiliated with King Faisal University. The study employed partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) for data analysis and interpretation. Some intriguing findings were generated. It was discovered that the influence of both parents and peers can positively predict financial literacy. Furthermore, financial literacy can positively impact young people’s saving habits. One surprising finding was that self-control negatively moderated the relationship between financial literacy and saving behaviour. Self-control was found to dampen the ties between Saudi young people’s financial literacy and saving behaviour.

“…Innovation is never free from risk; thus, a leader’s response and tolerance level to failure determine the followers’ work behavior ( Alshebami, 2021 ). In sustainability, R&D must be promoted to facilitate individuals with tolerance and encouragement while seeking innovation in organizations ( Iqbal et al, 2021 ).…”

This study aimed to examine the integrated relationships of business ties, political ties, sustainable leadership, and frugal innovation. The correlation was assessed with the consideration of social network and situational leadership theories. Data was collected from 363 Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) employees in Pakistan with a response rate of 72.60%. Accordingly, the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was employed to examine the validity of the proposed hypotheses. Empirical findings confirmed the significant impact of managerial and business ties on frugal innovation, strengthened by sustainable leadership. However, data analysis negated the positive impact of political ties on frugal innovation, which remains non-significant with the introduction of sustainable leadership among Pakistani SMEs. Hence, future studies are recommended to explore other conditional factors and mediating mechanisms in the relationship between managerial ties and frugal innovation. This idea can bring a deeper insight into the vital role of networking. To the best of the author’s knowledge, no prior study is available about the integrated relationships of managerial ties, frugal innovation, and sustainable leadership. This study enriches the literature in innovation management, especially concerning the social network and situational leadership model.
