“…Through their experiences, they developed coping strategies to overcome their economic issues. The most effective techniques were maintaining motivation, education, and networking [13]. There is no onesize-fits-all coping strategy to remediate the problems and to reduce the stresses encountered during a transition [9].…”

“…Russo et al [12] opined that part-time entrepreneurship encompasses a broader range of options than hybrid entrepreneurship. Parttime entrepreneurship can lead to an individual combining unemployment and entrepreneurship at the same time or it can lead to a portfolio of firms [13]. An individual can only engage in parttime entrepreneurship if they are not working a paid or wage job at the same time.…”

Purpose: The uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic have inspired new business ventures. The best approach to overcome the obstacles in pandemic is hybrid entrepreneurship, which is defined as "holding the current job while creating a new business”. The study aims to discover the new normal characteristics that influence the engagement in hybrid entrepreneurship in Sri Lanka. Methods: Schlossberg’s transition theory was adopted as the theoretical framework. Four transition elements; Situation, Self, Support, and Strategies used as the new normal factors. Snowball sampling method was used to select the participants who have both full-time employment and their own businesses during post-pandemic period. Data were gathered from 119 individuals using a standardized questionnaire. Hypotheses were tested using multiple regression analysis. Findings: The majority of the respondents have their own small enterprises. The element ‘strategies’ is the most significant influencing factor on participation in hybrid entrepreneurship, followed by ‘self’. Support and situation elements have the least impact on hybrid entrepreneurship. Research Implication: The policy implications of better understanding this transition could result in support systems aimed at better fostering hybrid entrepreneurship, given that ventures established by hybrid entrepreneurs are typically robust with strong chances of survival. Establishing support structures for hybrid entrepreneurs to assist with the growth of their ventures could be greatly beneficial for both employment and economic growth. Originality: Grounded in Schlossberg’s transition theory, the study offers insight into the specific factors that could influence the transition decision of hybrid entrepreneurship.

“…Several factors have been identified in the literature as relevant to lock-ins: at a systemic level, technologies, economic and institutional mechanisms and rules, and political dynamics; at the individual level, the role of social and cognitive processes and attitudes as impediments or drivers, although recognized as relevant to sustainability transitions, has only partially been explored (Geels, 2019). However, the literature also suggests that the orientation toward sustainability and environmental protection actively influences the entrepreneurial actions of types of individuals (Munoz and Cohen, 2017;De Bernardi and Sydow, 2022). Environmental and/or sustainable entrepreneurs act by combining the creation of economic value with the creation of environmental value (Lans et al, 2014;Antolin-Lopez et al, 2019;Gregori et al, 2021).…”

“…Environmental and/or sustainable entrepreneurs act by combining the creation of economic value with the creation of environmental value (Lans et al, 2014;Antolin-Lopez et al, 2019;Gregori et al, 2021). The empirical evidence seems to be strong enough to state that the cognitive and individual aspects of entrepreneurs can determine processes of change and transition toward alternative production systems (Suvanto et al, 2020;De Bernardi and Sydow, 2022;Weituschat et al, 2023a).…”

“…These capabilities determine the possibility for entrepreneurs to reach new markets or potential changes (Miller, 2011). Furthermore, an emerging topic that the literature is looking at with growing interest in environmental entrepreneurship is environmental attitude (Fauchart and Gruber, 2011;York, 2018;De Bernardi and Sydow, 2022). In the agricultural sector, farmers' environmental attitude seems to play a fundamental role in the transition toward sustainability (De Bernardi and Sydow, 2022;Weituschat et al, 2023b).…”

IntroductionThe European Union has recently prompted a shift toward Ecological Intensification (EI) practices, aiming to harmonize agricultural productivity and environmental conservation. Despite the benefits of EI, its implementation has been limited, as farmers face challenges in business reorganization and supply chain adaptation. This paper investigates the role of contract farming (CF) in promoting the adoption of sustainable practices among Italian wheat producers. Specifically, it analyzes the influence of farmers’ entrepreneurial identity on their engagement in such initiatives.MethodsUsing the case study of Barilla Group’s Carta del Mulino initiative, an innovative contract farming scheme incentivizing sustainable EI practices, the study explores the relationship between entrepreneurial identity and participation in CF schemes supporting EI. Data from a sample of 314 soft wheat farmers in four regions of Northern Italy were collected to examine the role of entrepreneurial identity in the adoption of sustainable practices and participation in CF schemes. To evaluate the research hypotheses, two distinct econometric models were developed.Results and discussionThe findings reveal that farmers with a more developed entrepreneurial identity are more likely to adopt more sustainable agricultural practices and engage in contractual schemes involving EI practices. The study highlights the importance of fostering and supporting farmers’ entrepreneurial identity while increasing their knowledge of alternative agricultural techniques to address the challenges of the agricultural sector. This integration of individual perspectives (entrepreneurial identity) with a systems view (contract farming schemes) offers valuable insights for future research, policy, and practice in agri-food systems sustainability.
