Maintaining the impact of action‐oriented entrepreneurship training: Extending the path‐centric account
Recent research introduced the path‐centric account of action‐oriented entrepreneurship training, which explains training transfer by reciprocal relationships between entrepreneurial motivation and action evolving after training. Based on the path‐centric account, we develop a theoretical model that suggests a reciprocal relationship between entrepreneurial goal intentions and entrepreneurial action moderated by need fulfillment to explain long‐t…
Pathways of entrepreneurial passion: An exploratory examination of the theory of entrepreneurial passion with meta‐analytical structural equation modeling
The theory of entrepreneurial passion states that passion fosters entrepreneurial behaviors and entrepreneurial effectiveness by the emergence of goal‐related cognitions. To provide an exploratory examination of the theory, we applied meta‐analytical structural equation modeling (MASEM) based on 124 primary studies and 43,331 individuals. In addition, we investigated the role of institutional, economic, and cultural boundary conditions to gain in…
A path-centric account of action-oriented entrepreneurship training
We develop a path-centric account that explains how action-oriented entrepreneurship training translates into self-employment. The path-centric account suggests that action-oriented entrepreneurship training positively impacts self-employment through entrepreneurial motivation and entrepreneurial action, which form a reciprocal and mutually stabilizing relationship after training. Randomized controlled trials with a baseline ( N = 1156), a short-…
The Psychology of Entrepreneurship: Action and Process
We review the research on the psychology of entrepreneurship of the last decade. We focus on two key topics in entrepreneurship research: action and process. Combining action and process in a model of the psychology of entrepreneurship, we present the action theory process model of entrepreneurship and use it as a guiding framework for the review. We discuss theories of action, such as effectuation/causation, bricolage, theory of planned behavior…
Understanding the gender gap in immigrant entrepreneurship: A multi-country study of immigrants’ embeddedness in economic, social, and institutional contexts
Given the rising rate of migration across the globe, immigrant entrepreneurship is more than ever a topic of high theoretical and practical relevance. Immigrant entrepreneurship can offer host societies a win-win situation, generating incomes for immigrant entrepreneurs and contributing to knowledge transfer, innovativeness, and economic growth within the host economy. However, studies reveal that immigrant entrepreneurship is primarily male domi…
The Psychology of Entrepreneurship
In this review of the psychology of entrepreneurship, we first present meta-analytic findings showing that personality dimensions, such as (general) self-efficacy and need for achievement, and entrepreneurial orientation are highly associated with entrepreneurship (business creation and business success). We then discuss constructs that were developed within entrepreneurship research, such as entrepreneurial alertness, business planning, financia…
Patterns of Entrepreneurial Career Development: An Optimal Matching Analysis Approach
Longitudinal studies of entrepreneurial career development are rare, and current knowledge of self-employment patterns and their relationships with individual difference characteristics is limited. In this study, the authors analyzed employment data from a subsample of 514 participants from the German Socio-Economic Panel study (1984–2008). Results of an optimal matching analysis indicated that a continuous self-employment pattern could be distin…
Stepping into my shoes: Generativity as a mediator of the relationship between business owners' age and family succession
The authors investigated generativity – the concern in establishing and guiding the next generation – as a mediator of the relationship between family business owners' age and succession in family businesses. Data came from 155 family business owners in Germany from different industries between the ages of 26 and 83 years. Results showed that age was positively related to generativity, and that generativity, in turn, positively influenced an obje…
