“…These features certainly help entrepreneurs in Asia to create tolerant and harmonious corporate cultures, resulting in higher success rates and satisfied employees and customers (Deng et al, 2011). Research shows female entrepreneurs to be more persistent than male entrepreneurs, paying more attention to long-term benefits and the development of the company (Kiani et al, 2021). They strive for their business ideals despite temporary difficulties and setbacks, while making every business decision very carefully and pursuing realistic objectives.…”

Female entrepreneurs contribute substantially to economic growth in Asia. Despite their economic success, we know relatively little about them. This article presents a comprehensive review of female entrepreneurs in Asia, focusing on how they differ from their counterparts in the West, along four dimensions: female entrepreneurs’ unique characteristics, their distinct intentions, their constraints on resources, and their management styles. Our analysis revealed striking differences between female entrepreneurs in Asia and those in the West but also substantial heterogeneity within Asia. In developing Asian countries, female entrepreneurs often have a low level of education and work in the informal sector, driven by economic necessity, whereas many female entrepreneurs in transitioning/developed Asian countries are highly educated and work in high-growth industries. Culture and different religions, e.g., Islam and Hinduism, are major sources of constraints for the education and financing of female entrepreneurs in Asia. Family ties play a key role in the leadership style of female entrepreneurs in Asia. The review and analysis have important implications for future research and entrepreneurial practice.

PurposeThe authors explore the relationship between adolescent behavior and subsequent entrepreneurial persistence by drawing on scholarship from clinical psychology and criminology to examine different subtypes of antisocial behavior (nonaggressive antisocial behavior and aggressive antisocial behavior) that underlie adolescent rule breaking. The intersection of gender and socioeconomic status on these types of antisocial behavior and entrepreneurial persistence is also studied.Design/methodology/approachUsing a longitudinal research design, this study draws from a national representative survey of USA adolescents, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1997) (NLSY97). Nonaggressive antisocial behavior was assessed with a composite scale that measured economic self-interest and with a second measure that focused on substance abuse. Aggressive antisocial behavior was assessed as a measure of aggressive, destructive behaviors, such as fighting and property destruction. Entrepreneurial persistence was operationalized as years of self-employment experience, which is based on the number of years a respondent reported any self-employment.FindingsAggressive antisocial behavior is positively related to entrepreneurial persistence but nonaggressive antisocial behavior is not. This relationship is moderated by gender and socioeconomic status.Originality/valueThese findings contribute to research on the relationship between adolescent behavior and entrepreneurship in adulthood, the effect of antisocial behavior, and demographic intersectionality (by gender and socioeconomic status) in entrepreneurship. The authors surmise that the finding that self-employment for men from lower socioeconomic backgrounds involved in aggressive antisocial behavior was significantly higher compared to others may indicate that necessity entrepreneurship may be the primary driver of entrepreneurial activity for these individuals.

“…Thus, while it is important to hone in on this dynamic among female entrepreneurs, existing research have largely overlooked this cohort as indicated by the skewed gender ratios in empirical research samples on entrepreneurial passion. It is notable that male samples are generally much larger than female samples (de Mol et al, 2016(de Mol et al, , 2020Stroe et al, 2019;Luu and Nguyen, 2020;Murnieks et al, 2020;Kiani et al, 2021;Su et al, 2022), and research conclusions are more connoted to male entrepreneurs. This study uses follow-up survey data of 88 Chinese female entrepreneurs at three points in time over 5 months, focuses on dynamic changes in these women's entrepreneurial passion, and adds a unique perspective to the body of research on female entrepreneurship.…”

“…Furthermore, their entrepreneurial practices are more influenced by family or domestic factors (Jennings and McDougald, 2007;Hsu et al, 2016), and this often limits their entrepreneurial passion (Murnieks et al, 2020). It should be noted that there is embedded gender bias in existing empirical research on entrepreneurial passion in that male samples are considerably larger than female samples (de Mol et al, 2016;Murnieks et al, 2020;Kiani et al, 2021). In some cases, male samples are twice as large as female samples (Stroe et al, 2019;de Mol et al, 2020;Luu and Nguyen, 2020;Su et al, 2022), making traditional research conclusions on entrepreneurial passion highly skewed to male entrepreneurs.…”

“…Considering that entrepreneurship is an ongoing, dynamic development process (Lichtenstein et al, 2007), and individual passion itself is a variable that fluctuates over time, understandings about entrepreneurial passion based on a static perspective have limited ability to explain the success or failure of entrepreneurial endeavors. Therefore, many scholars in the field have called for longitudinal studies of entrepreneurial passion (Ho and Pollack, 2014;de Mol et al, 2016;Türk et al, 2019;Kiani et al, 2021). However, to date, only a few studies have examined changes in entrepreneurial passion over time from a dynamic perspective (Cardon et al, 2013;Gielnik et al, 2015;Collewaert et al, 2016;Lex et al, 2020;Uy et al, 2021), and those studies that exist have largely ignored gender differences or focused mainly on male entrepreneurs.…”

Based on Vallerand’s dualistic model of passion, this study theorizes and empirically examines the temporal dynamics of two types of entrepreneurial passion in female entrepreneurs, harmonious entrepreneurial passion (HmEP) and obsessive entrepreneurial passion (ObEP), and examines the mechanisms by which entrepreneurial effort0 and fear of failure influence the temporal dynamics of entrepreneurial passion. Using data collected from a three-wave, lagged survey of female entrepreneurs, we employed Mplus to build a latent growth model for entrepreneurial passion and built a cross-lag model of the relationship between entrepreneurial passion, entrepreneurial effort, and fear of failure. We found that female entrepreneurs’ HmEP and ObEP present different temporal dynamics. Furthermore, the temporal dynamics of HmEP are achieved through changes in entrepreneurial effort, whereas the temporal dynamics of ObEP are achieved through changes in current entrepreneurial effort and fear of failure in the next stage. Therefore, due to traditional gender stereotypes and varying motivations to engage in entrepreneurship, the two entrepreneurial passions have different dynamic evolution processes. Our results underscore the importance of effort and fear of failure in stimulating the dynamics of female entrepreneurial passion.
