Introduction to Entrepreneurial Motivations

What is/are Entrepreneurial Motivations?

Entrepreneurial Motivations - The study found seven different themes: immigrant studies, ethnic entrepreneurial motivations, ethnic startup process, motives of ethnic business success, failure factors of ethnic businesses, ethnic unique challenges, and favourite strong ties of ethnic minorities were identified as main themes. ^[1] The objective of our study is to validate a measurement scale of three dimensions: 1/ entrepreneurial motivations, 2/ skills, and 3/ behaviour in the Moroccan context. ^[2] In this study, the author surveyed 141 final-year students at a vocational institution who have been taking a business start-up course to evaluate students' entrepreneurial motivations and intentions. ^[3] Results also showed that the gender of the entrepreneurs we sampled was not a significant differentiating factor in identifying entrepreneurial motivations. ^[4] Our study is, in fact, the first application of the full range of motivations from SDT to define students’ entrepreneurial motivations; furthermore, we use latent profile analysis to identify groups of students that can be distinguished according to these motivations. ^[5] Stimulating entrepreneurial motivations and intentions may help researchers to better adapt to alternative career perspectives. ^[6] Findings-It provides a vantage point of the distinctive nature of social entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial motivations. ^[7] explore the impact of EE on entrepreneurial motivations, and Hassan et al. ^[8] Moreover, green entrepreneurial motivations moderated the relationship between optimism, ecological values, social responsibility, and green entrepreneurial intention in a positive and significant way. ^[9] Given the importance of immigration and immigrant entrepreneurs in advanced economies, the authors take an entrepreneurial ecosystem perspective to study the home-country benefits possessed by immigrant entrepreneurs and how home-country entrepreneurial ecosystem factors affect immigrant entrepreneurial motivations, activities and outcomes. ^[10] This paper examines the direct and indirect roles of individual entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurship education in determining students’ entrepreneurial intention through the mediation of entrepreneurial motivations. ^[11] ,In this paper, the authors make four contributions to the academic debate: first, the authors studied the entrepreneurial motivations of refugees in a middle-eastern developing country while the other studies have focussed upon the adaptation of such individuals in a western and developed environment. ^[12] The study also contributes toward the micro business literature and addresses a knowledge gap, particularly, in that contemporary research has not explored entrepreneurial motivations among small firm entrepreneurs. ^[13] The purpose of the present study was to examine how cultural orientations influence students’ entrepreneurial motivations and intentions in a developing country, namely Iran. ^[14] This article analyzes differences within multiple countries, as well the causal relationship of three attitudinal variables, namely, perceived behavioral control, subjective norm, and entrepreneurial motivations with entrepreneurial intention. ^[15] family business background and self-fulfillment) increasing entrepreneurial motivations among Latinas. ^[16] In the theoretical scope, when associating to the EO the literature on entrepreneurial motivations; in the empirical context, when investigating, under a qualitative approach and multiple holistic case study strategy, a particular type of entrepreneurship, of a religious nature, highly emergent and still little investigated in Brazil. ^[17] This study examines the effects of social influence, network characteristics, and entrepreneurial motivations on trust, reciprocity, and togetherness in a network of wildlife tourism microentrepreneurs. ^[18] For decades entrepreneurial motivations have been related to entrepreneurial behavior, in areas such as investments or formulation of strategies, however, its link with the adoption of e-commerce in microenterprises has not been explored in depth. ^[19] ,The paper contributes to the extant literature on international entrepreneurship in emerging economies by making a breakdown on the roles played by different types of FDI in the entrepreneurial activity, analyzing the mediating effects of GQ on the relationship between inward/outward FDI and entrepreneurship, and interpreting the capital and institutional determinants of entrepreneurship in terms of entrepreneurial motivations by opportunity and necessity. ^[20] This chapter identifies that social and environmental failings observed within ecotourism may be a result of poor community consultation, ineffective ecotourism management and ‘inauthentic’ entrepreneurial motivations. ^[21] Drawing on 87 interviews and participant observation, the paper demonstrates how entrepreneurial motivations, pathways, practices and experiences are shaped by individual characteristics, such as gender, age, lifecycle and class. ^[22] Entrepreneurial motivations, in terms of necessity and opportunity, are key for small businesses and are studied extensively from a static perspective, especially in economically developed contexts. ^[23] A sample of 966 Portuguese Higher Education students answered the Entrepreneurial Motivations survey, which showed adequate psychometric properties. ^[24] Based on the theory of planned behavior, the purpose of this article is to specify a model in which the relationship among entrepreneurial potential, gender and entrepreneurial intention are explored, by analyzing how perceived behavioral control (PBC) and perceived entrepreneurial skills, as exogenous variables, affect expression of intention for business, and how these are mediated by their entrepreneurial motivations and risk taking propensity. ^[25] Findings of the multiple regression model indicated three women entrepreneurial motivations (internal locus of control, self-efficacy, and financial success) were positively related to firm performance. ^[26] The purpose of this paper is to explore in depth motivations of female entrepreneurs in different contexts and discover the dissimilarities in women’s entrepreneurial motivations in countries with different levels of economic development. ^[27] Indeed, entrepreneurial motivations to take business globally can be because of ‘push’ or ‘pull’ forces such as the creation of global products and services, access to global market, access to strategic resources and access to global sourcing. ^[28] The analysis using Nvivo 11 identifies entrepreneurial motivations, cognitive factors, and barriers to start and operate fashion businesses, and necessary training and assistance college fashion students prefer to receive. ^[29] One of the central issues with the personality traits literature is therefore a tendency to overlook the importance of the actor's external context in facilitating entrepreneurial motivations. ^[30]
