Entrepreneurial Resilience and Business Survival: The Mediating Role of Self-compassion Isichei, Ejikeme Emmanuel; Olabosinde, Samuel Taiwo; Shaibu, Blessing The growing decline in the survival rate of most small-scale enterprises (SSEs) has remained a source of concern for stakeholders and the absence of an integrative model that explains the process through which resilience drives business survival has made for an unclear relationship. Hence, this article addresses the mediating effect of self-compassion on entrepreneurial resilience and business survival. A dataset of 260 entrepreneurs was analysed with the aid of SmartPLSv3.9. The study found that entrepreneurial resilience and self-compassion significantly affect business survival and self-compassion mediates the link between entrepreneurial resilience and business survival. The article provides an integrated model that accounts for the process through which entrepreneurial resilience influences business survival. Further, the article advances new knowledge on self-compassion by exploring its role in business survival. The study validates the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale and Raes et al.’s (2011) higher-order factor scale of self-compassion. Isichei, E. E., Olabosinde, S. T., & Shaibu, B. (2024).

Uncovering Determinants of Entrepreneurial Behaviour in a Transitioning Economy: A Fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis Al-Silefanee, Rebean; Bosma, Niels The purpose of this research article is to explore the determinants of entrepreneurial behaviour among university students in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The study uses a novel approach of fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to depart from traditional assumptions that causal mechanisms apply equally to all individuals within a group. The study examines how shared characteristics may influence entrepreneurial behaviour. The study contributes to the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) literature by identifying different configurations of factors that lead to entrepreneurial behaviour. The study finds that these configurations vary depending on the student’s gender, personal valuation of entrepreneurship, self-evaluation, and perceived support from their environment. These findings suggest that the context in which students are situated plays a crucial role in shaping their entrepreneurial behaviour, highlighting the importance of considering within-sample variations when studying entrepreneurial intentions. This research article uses a novel approach, fsQCA, to explore the factors that influence entrepreneurial behaviour. It departs from traditional assumptions that the same causal mechanisms apply to all individuals within a group, and instead examines how shared characteristics may influence entrepreneurial behaviour.

Micro-entrepreneurship, Institutional Environment and the COVID-19 Pandemic: A Comparison of Weaving Clusters in West Bengal, India De, Indranil; Biswas, Saswata Narayan; Dey, Devleena This article compares micro-enterprises’ performance and the entrepreneurial ability of weavers as perceived by the weavers themselves under two different institutional environments: one dominated by a cooperative society and the other dominated by private traders. Weavers in the private trader-dominated institutional environment are more likely to introduce new designs, develop new products and usher client satisfaction. However, the determinants of overall entrepreneurial ability reveal that after controlling for several factors, the weavers associated with a cooperative society seem to have significantly higher abilities. Analysing the marginal effects of the institutional environment, it is observed that the perceived quality of handlooms, weaver’s ability to bargain for returns and ability to efficiently manage business finances are much better in the cooperative-dominated cluster as compared to the private trader-dominated cluster. Furthermore, the resilience of enterprises during the COVID-19 pandemic was much higher in the cooperative-dominated business environment. Enterprises using more unpaid female household labour were more resilient than others during the pandemic. De, I., Biswas, S. N., & Dey, D. (2024).

University Entrepreneurial Ecosystems and Graduate Entrepreneurship Ayala-Gaytán, Edgardo; Villasana, Marcia; Naranjo-Priego, Elvira E. This article addresses the measurable outcomes of a university-based entrepreneurial ecosystem in an emerging economy beyond entrepreneurial intention, patents or academic spin-offs. A logit model with fixed effects by decades was applied to data from over 17,000 alumni who graduated between 1943 and 2017 to identify the existence of a structural change in the rates of entrepreneurship before graduation and up to five years after graduation. This structural change was related to each stage in the evolution of the university entrepreneurial ecosystem. Findings show that as the ecosystem elements were introduced, the probability of founding a business before graduation increased with each decade. Additionally, results suggest that the strategies to redefine and expand academic functions, adapt organisational structures and diversify the university’s curriculum supported a significant increase in the entrepreneurship rate of alumni. This evidence contributes to our understanding of the impact of strategic decisions to drive entrepreneurship from intention to action. Ayala-Gaytán, E., Villasana, M., & Naranjo-Priego, E. E.
