Research on the Mechanism of Entrepreneurship Education on College Students’ Entrepreneurial Willingness and Its Future Prediction

The strength of college students’ entrepreneurial willingness is a barometer for measuring the effectiveness of entrepreneurship education. It is also an important avenue for college students to expand their employment opportunities and enhance the quality of their employment in the face of new employment trends. Comprehensive universities offer a wide range of disciplines and great professional specialization. It is of great significance to explore the diversity results in college students’ entrepreneurship education indicators. According to the data on the relationship between entrepreneurial education and entrepreneurship willingness in comprehensive universities in Jiangsu province, various factors such as subject characteristics, work experience, educational background, and family environment significantly impact college students’ willingness to become entrepreneurs. The implementation of entrepreneurship education, including the awakening of entrepreneurial consciousness, the cultivation of entrepreneurial abilities, and the improvement of entrepreneurial willingness, has a direct impact on college students’ willingness to start their own businesses

Entrepreneurship as a career option: do temporary workers have the competencies, intention and willingness to become entrepreneurs?

This study analyses the entrepreneurial intentions and the willingness of temporary workers to consider entrepreneurship as a career option. Specifically, we analyse the self-perception of entrepreneurial competencies of a group of temporary workers. A total of 184 temporary workers participated in the study. We performed a multiple correspondence analysis (MCA) to identify profiles of entrepreneurial competencies according to temporary workers' entrepreneurial intention and willingness to consider entrepreneurship as a career option. We conclude that temporary workers do not always perceive themselves as having the necessary competencies to choose for entrepreneurship in their occupational paths. The self-perception of different levels of entrepreneurial competencies is also associated with different intentions and willingness to consider entrepreneurship as a career option. Finally, we provide insights for practice, which can be considered as a starting point for activities aiming to develop entrepreneurial competencies at the individual or organisational levels.info:eu-repo/semantics/submittedVersio

Trust, Positive Reciprocity, and Negative Reciprocity: Do These Traits Impact Entrepreneurial Dynamics?

Experimental evidence reveals that there is a strong willingness to trust and to act in both positively and negatively reciprocal ways. So far it is rarely analyzed whether these variables of social cognition influence everyday decision making behavior. We focus on entrepreneurs who are permanently facing exchange processes in the interplay with investors, sellers, and buyers, as well as needing to trust others and reciprocate with their network. We base our analysis on the German Socio-Economic Panel and recently introduced questions about trust, positive reciprocity, and negative reciprocity to examine the extent that these variables influence the entrepreneurial decision processes. More specifically, we analyze whether i) the willingness to trust other people influences the probability of starting a business; ii) trust, positive reciprocity, and negative reciprocity influence the exit probability of entrepreneurs; and iii) willingness to trust and to act reciprocally influences the probability of being an entrepreneur versus an employee or a manager. Our findings reveal that, in particular, trust impacts entrepreneurial development. Interestingly, entrepreneurs are more trustful than employees, but much less trustful than managers.entrepreneurship, trust, reciprocity

Future entrepreneur’s profile

Given that entrepreneurship plays a key role in the development of a country’s economy, governments should stimulate entrepreneurial orientation, particularly among youngsters in their formative years; schools must play a pertinent role in the promotion and support of these capacities. Indeed, the European Commission advises that schools foster such skills. In this context, we apply a frame to screen school populations in the Azores Islands, Portugal, for prospects of entrepreneurship and to study the profiles of those who noticeably show entrepreneurial orientations. Knowing the ideal combination of personality traits that foretell young entrepreneurs, schools can develop the syllabuses that are best aimed at promoting entrepreneurship and increasing the capacities of those who prove to be entrepreneurially oriented. This work leads to the following main findings: first, that one quarter of all senior students in high school in the Azores Islands bears prospects for entrepreneurship and, second, this same group shows a well-defined psychological profile that may vary depending on one’s willingness to expend effort.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Entrepreneurial Innovation

This paper constructs an equilibrium model of entrepreneurial innovation where individuals differ in their attitude toward uncertainty.Unlike previous models of innovation, the firm-formation process is endogenous.An entrepreneur, who owns residual profits, utilizes an uncertain technology and hires a worker who may only be partially isolated from uncertainty.While the available production technologies are exogenously specified, the technologies that operate in equilibrium are endogenous, depending on both the entrepreneur's prior beliefs about the profitability of the technology, as well as the worker's willingness to work with the uncertain technology.The general equilibrium setting allows us to explore the impact of innovation on the nature of the firm. The relationship between technological uncertainty and the nature of the firm is able to explain the commonly observed S-shaped diffusion profile.As uncertainty falls, firms evolve from being entrepreneurial to corporate, finally becoming bureaucratic.entrepreneurship;uncertainty;innovation

The Influence of Risk Attitude towards the Entrepreneurial Intention

Currently, Indonesia has a goal to increase the number of entrepreneurs for about 20,000 new enterprises in 2019. This number is increasing every year, which indicate the urgency of the government to emerge entrepreneurs within the society (Kompas, 2018). Many factors can form an entrepreneur. They can be encouraged from family background, hobbies, needs, and also through an educational system. A different method of teaching and treatment will drive different entrepreneurial results. Several studies show that entrepreneurs behave differently. Entrepreneurs create and manage their business to achieve their business goals. It makes the entrepreneur is having the willingness to give resource on it, such as pays the material used in  the business, rent a place, and higher employee. It also makes them have more willingness to take the risk along the entrepreneurial activity (Paun, 2013). Therefore, the researcher wants to discover the relationship between entrepreneurial intention and risk attitude. This research uses a quantitative approach in order to explore the study and use a questionnaire as the tools. The result was analyzed using the single linear regression method with SPSS software. Single linear regression is a statistical method used to explain the relationship between dependent and independent variables. The independent variables in this research would be Risk Attitude, and  the independent variable would be Entrepreneurial Intention. From that, the research hypotheses would be entrepreneurs risk attitude significantly affected entrepreneurial intention; the higher risk attitude of a person will increase their entrepreneurial intention.

Prediction of entrepreneurship : an ordered regression approach

Entrepreneurship is a popular research topic over the last several decades. Various authors study the characteristics that best define future entrepreneur profiles. In this paper, we apply a framework to screen school populations in the Azores Islands, Portugal, for prospects of entrepreneurship and to study the profiles of those who show noticeably entrepreneurial orientations. The contribution of the paper consists of applying ordered regression to explain the entrepreneurial prospects of students in high school.N/

The Causes and Consequences of Entrepreneurial Failure Fear: Research Framework and Future Prospects

The fear of entrepreneurial failure is the avoidance trait or negative emotion that entrepreneurs develop towards the consequences of failure. The generation of this avoidance trait or negative emotion is related to the joint interaction of factors such as the entrepreneur's cognition, achievement goals, and environment. It is an important factor that suppresses entrepreneurial willingness and behavior, and may also stimulate entrepreneurial motivation. This article reviews existing literature, analyzes the concept, influencing factors, and outcome variables of entrepreneurial failure fear, and finally proposes a research framework and future research points and directions for entrepreneurial failure fear. Research points: 1. The connotation and role of fear of entrepreneurial failure throughout the entire entrepreneurial process. 2. The fear of entrepreneurial failure has a beneficial impact on entrepreneurship. Research direction: 1. Enrich the connotation and extension of entrepreneurial failure fear, and explore the sources of failure fear in different scenarios. 2. Pay attention to the dynamic patterns of fear of entrepreneurial failure throughout the entire process of entrepreneurship. 3. Research on the mechanisms and factors that contribute to the beneficial impact of fear of entrepreneurial failure

Entrepreneurial adaptation: Insights from existing literature and possibilities for new research.

Recent research shows that new ventures have great difficulties in defining a viable business model from the outset and that minor or major adaptations to this initial business model are needed as the venture evolves. Entrepreneurial adaptation or the entrepreneur's willingness and ability to make appropriate adjustments to the business concept become critical. If adaptation is so important for entrepreneurial companies, we need to ask ourselves a number of questions. (1) What causes this need for adaptation? (2a) What is the precise effect of adaptation on a start-up's performance or survival and (2b) is this effect similar for all start-ups? Also, (3) what do we know about the process of adaptation? And (4) what are factors enabling this adaptation process? Finally, we also need to determine (5) how the concept of adaptation in entrepreneurial companies is related to existing concepts of change and adaptation. The purpose of this paper is to give an overview of different literature streams that are specifically relevant to entrepreneurial adaptation and the questions listed above, and to point out gaps in the existing literature requiring further investigation. We look at whether and how the existing literature can provide insight into each of those five questions. In a final section, we point out directions for further research.Innovation; Research; Model; Companies; Performance; Startups; Processes; Factors;
