“…Additionally, sustainable entrepreneurial ventures often focus on social and environmental issues, which align with the values of individuals with high levels of Altruism (Lazăr et al, 2022). The exploration of the recent empirical works integrates Altruism as a key antecedent of SEI, thereby corroborating a positive impact of Altruism in defining the construct, SEI (Srivastava et al, 2023; Yasir et al, 2021). Hence, the following hypothesis is proposed to empirically examine the relationship between Altruism and SEI.H1 Altruism has a significant impact on the Sustainability‐oriented Entrepreneurial Intentions.…”

The study contributes to the advancement of the theory and practice of sustainable entrepreneurship (SE) by enabling a deeper understanding of the emerging construct, sustainability‐oriented entrepreneurial intentions (SEI) which is a precursor of SE. A unique, comprehensive model depicting the role of the individual‐level antecedents of SEI is developed from an exhaustive literature review, and it is then validated using survey responses from youth in India. Of the seven constructs identified from the literature, four constructs, namely Altruism, Environmental Values, Intrinsic Rewards, and Attitude Towards Sustainability (one of the Theory of Planned Behavior constructs [TPB]), were found to have the strongest relationship with SEI, while others (Extrinsic Rewards, General Self‐Efficacy, Job Security, Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) constructs Perceived Entrepreneurial Desirability, and Perceived Entrepreneurial Feasibility) were reported as statistically significant. Partial Mediating effects of TPB constructs were also reported. This research provides empirical evidence on the individual‐level antecedents of SEI, hence contributing to the sparse body of literature available on the emerging construct, SEI. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and educators to design effective approaches to foster SEI and expand the adoption of SE among young individuals. The originality of this study lies in the fact that, to date, no comprehensive research has been conducted on any demographic group in India to examine the individual‐level factors that influence SEI.

“…Another study by Vuorio et al (2018) posits that the perceived availability of social rewards, such as recognition and status, also significantly impacts an individual's entrepreneurial intention. Recent research by Srivastava et al (2023) identifies extrinsic rewards as one of the key drivers of SEI of an individual as it explains the underlying motivation for taking up such an unconventional form of entrepreneurship.…”

“…When individuals perceive that engaging in SE helps them attain extrinsic rewards, such as financial incentives, recognition, or reputation (Srivastava et al ., 2023), the associated attitude to take up SE increases. As a result, their positive ATS is likely to enhance their intention to pursue entrepreneurial activities with a sustainability focus.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this empirical study is to enable a better understanding of the construct sustainability-oriented entrepreneurial intentions (SEI) and thereby promote sustainable entrepreneurship. It aims to examine the significance of work values (extrinsic rewards, intrinsic rewards and job security) as antecedents of SEI and to test the mediating effect of three constructs derived from the theory of planned behaviour – attitude towards sustainability, perceived entrepreneurial desirability and perceived entrepreneurial feasibility on the relationships between work values and SEI.Design/methodology/approachConfirmatory factor analysis and exploratory factor analysis were performed using analysis of moment structures v27 and statistical package for social science v28 on data obtained from the survey of young individuals of India. The respondents were students enrolled in higher education programmes.FindingsAll the identified antecedents (extrinsic rewards, intrinsic rewards, job security and theory of planned behaviour constructs) were found to be statistically significant. The partial mediating effect of the theory of planned behaviour constructs was also reported.Originality/valueThis empirical work leads to the theoretical advancement of the emerging construct, SEI, by presenting evidence of the significant individual-level antecedents of the construct. The results lead to recommendations for policymakers and educators to design strategies to strengthen SEI, thereby expanding the adoption of sustainable entrepreneurship.

This research aims to scrutinize the impacts of perceived feasibility (PF), propensity to act (PTA), perceived desirability (PD), self-efficacy (SEE), and family support (FS) on digital entrepreneurial intentions (DEI). Applying the Entrepreneurial Event Model (EEM), this study employs a quantitative research approach to investigate the hypotheses. The sample of 344 valid observations comprises university students from an emerging economy, strengthening the study’s relevance to emerging markets. The findings regarding interaction effects were mixed, with FS presenting no moderating effect on the relationship between PF and PTA with DEI. Conversely, FS demonstrated a significant moderating role in the relationships of PD and SEE with DEI. This study significantly contributes to entrepreneurial literature by applying and extending the EEM model to digital entrepreneurship in emerging economies. The research also promotes societal development goals by underscoring the transformative power of digital entrepreneurship for inclusive and sustainable growth.
