“…also 13 p. 6]. Depending on the type of action, discovering or creating opportunities, different numbers of identities are assumed which are central and salient to the overall self-concept: Innovators, for example, have four central salient identities, while imitators have three, and self-employed professionals, who produce standardized products and a smaller number of novel products than imitators, have just two central identities [39]. Moreover, the formation of identity interacts with these types of acting.…”

“…A strong socially constructed and a weak intrinsically prospected entrepreneurial identity can be related to the conformist developmental stage. For the imitator type, the entrepreneur's sense of belonging and security needs seem typical [39]. Needs for social belonging and social approval characterize the conformist stage (Stage: E4) of ego-development.…”

“…To satisfy their security needs, imitative entrepreneurs are less engaged in innovating products, services or processes. While the constituents of the imitator type's entrepreneurial identity result from social construction, the innovator's identity is usually more intrinsically prospected [39]. The innovator type of entrepreneur is characterized by needs such as "selfactualization/self-realization" [39 p. 90], which characterize the conscientious stage (Stage: E6).…”

Scientific interest in teaching entrepreneurial competencies has increased in the last few years. Thereby studies have examined above all personal tools, including skills and knowledge. However, besides focusing on educational programs for context-specific entrepreneurial competencies, it is essential to understand general competencies that enable an entrepreneur to master demands of varying challenges and contexts. Despite a growing body of literature in the field of entrepreneurial competencies, there still seems to be uncertainty regarding general entrepreneurial competencies. As a consequence of its research focus, the objective of this study is to understand general entrepreneurial competencies. To study these general competencies, new paradigms of human action should be brought into discussion. It is concluded that there is a relationship between the self and general entrepreneurial key behavior which has still not been covered by the literature. The overall goal of this study is thus to propose a model of general entrepreneurial competencies. An entrepreneurial competency model is proposed that gives insight about the key behavior of recognizing/producing and exploiting entrepreneurial opportunity which a successful entrepreneur should be able to demonstrate, and a person's underlying characteristics. The underlying characteristics consist of the self and personal tools. The self comprises the self-as-subject, the ego as a meaningmaking process, and the self-as-object, with dispositional traits, characteristic adaptations and identity. Personal tools include skills and knowledge. The structural model has been enriched with a developmental dimension as the entrepreneurial ego gradually becomes more complex and associated entrepreneurial behaviors and skills are increasingly practiced. Clarifying these theoretical links between the self and entrepreneurial core challenges may contribute to more effective design of fundamental entrepreneurship education programs and to addressing a wider range of educational issues, e.g., developing scientifically-supported educational models to increase the number of successful entrepreneurs.

“…Identity complexity refers to the diversity and richness of role perception [36], here to an entrepreneur's work-roles. According to Poudel [36], entrepreneurial identity consists of the following roles: founder identity, innovator identity, leader identity, professional identity, and manager identity [36]. Each role will be assessed by women entrepreneurs.…”

Entrepreneurial competencies are critical for entrepreneurial success. Despite a growing body of literature in the field of entrepreneurial competencies, there is still considerable uncertainty concerning entrepreneurial competencies of female entrepreneurs. The objective of the study is therefore to empirically analyze the entrepreneurial competencies of female entrepreneurs. Based on a study of 306 women entrepreneurs of Micro and Small Enterprises (200 women entrepreneurs from Germany and 106 women entrepreneurs from Ireland), this analysis finds that entrepreneurial competencies as a higher order latent construct have a major impact on entrepreneurial success. Entrepreneurial competencies of women entrepreneurs in Germany and Ireland can be operationalized by a set of six first-order factors, including functional task related managerial skills, entrepreneurial characteristic adaptations of self-efficacy and orientations of competition, risk-taking and innovation, and the founder and innovator identity. The theoretical construct of entrepreneurial performance, which consists of the dimensions of economic, individual and societal performance, is expanded with the dimensions of performance quality, customer satisfaction and productivity. The practical implication of the study is that not only task related skills, but also distal personality related characteristic adaptations and identity should be developed in entrepreneurial learning programs targeted at women entrepreneurs who start small businesses. Future studies need to isolate the influence of context from the identified competencies.
