“…GE is critical to creating new business opportunities in a circular economy that lead to sustainable development. GE's strength can be enhanced by an attitude toward acceptance of new technology, social norms and culture, environmental regulations and research and development (R&D) innovation capability in a circular economy (Mondal et al, 2023). In Vietnam's business landscape, GE substantially brings about sustainable environmental and societal development (Tien et al, 2023).…”

PurposeEntrepreneurship is one of the pillars of economic development and helps to green the economy. This study investigates the factors that affect green entrepreneurship (GE) in small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Saudi Arabia.Design/methodology/approachUsing quantitative modes, this study's findings are based on 334 valid cases from Saudi Arabian SME employees.FindingsUsing path analysis, this study’s findings reveal that green entrepreneurial skills (GES), green opportunities (GOs), entrepreneurial motivation (EM), green incentives (GIs), availability of capital (AoC) and green entrepreneurial self-efficacy (GESE) have positive and significant effects on GE. Moreover, GESE mediates GE's relationships with GES, GOs, EM, GIs and AoC.Practical implicationsThis study's findings support the development of green business practices in terms of green business planning, training and skills. The research provides opportunities for green businesses. Policymakers and SME authorities would benefit from this study's findings in producing green goods and services.Originality/valueThis study empirically confirms the role of various factors such as GESE and GE among Saudi Arabian SMEs.

“…The pursuit of entrepreneurial careers has garnered attention from both researchers and practitioners in the field of entrepreneurship in recent times (Nguyen, 2023; Mondal et al , 2023; Henry and Lewis, 2023). The reason for this heightened interest is the recognition that entrepreneurship not only drives economic development at home and abroad but also contributes to social progress, lowers the rate of joblessness and cultivates originality and inventiveness (Duong, 2022; Salman and Ismael, 2023).…”

“…In addition, as numerous countries’ governments have made substantial investments to promote entrepreneurial actions (Mondal et al , 2023), there has been growing academic interest in the outcomes of entrepreneurial instruction and preparation (Duong and Vu, 2023b; Henry and Lewis, 2023). As a result, countries’ governments have adopted entrepreneurial education (EE) as an effective approach to promoting entrepreneurship activities (Lopes et al , 2023).…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to adopt the theory of planned behavior to close the entrepreneurial attitude–intention–behavior gap in the entrepreneurship field as well as test the key moderators of the entrepreneurial process, starting from entrepreneurial attitude and intention to behavior to engage in entrepreneurial activities – namely, entrepreneurship education. Design/methodology/approach The research used a sample of 2,566 students from 16 universities in Vietnam. First, Cronbach’s alpha and confirmatory factor analysis have been used to test the reliability and validity of scales. Then the coefficient paths in the conceptual framework were tested through structural equation modeling, and indirect associations were estimated via the PROCESS bootstrapping approach. Findings The research illustrated that both attitudes toward entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial intention serve as the central antecedents in the formation of entrepreneurial behavior. Also, when students are more entrepreneurially educated, the linkage between attitude toward entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial behavior was hypothesized to become stronger, yet the relation between entrepreneurial intention and behavior was weakened. Practical implications This research suggests useful recommendations for educators and policymakers to encourage university students’ favorable attitudes toward entrepreneurial activities, their intention to engage in them and their subsequent entrepreneurial behavior. Originality/value This research is expected to make a significant contribution to the entrepreneurship literature by closing the entrepreneurial attitude–intention–behavior gap as well as enriching our understanding of the influence of entrepreneurship education on the entrepreneurial process. Importantly, this research reveals that entrepreneurial education significantly moderates the effects of attitude toward entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial intention on entrepreneurial behavior.

“…Technology plays a major role in improving the level of the CE (Kristoffersen et al ., 2021). Manufacturing firms' use of technology-based enablers can improve the level of environmental innovations (Mondal et al ., 2023), leading to improving the level of CE practices. In addition, the technological infrastructure provides the ability to facilitate CE activities (Khan and Haleem, 2021).…”

PurposeRecently, the concept of the circular economy (CE) has witnessed significant momentum in academic and professional circles. However, there is a dearth of research that studies the enabling factors of the CE in the era of digital transformation. The existing research aimed to identify the impact of Industry 4.0 readiness on the CE in manufacturing firms operating in Jordan, as well as to identify the mediating role of the industrial Internet of things and big data analytics.Design/methodology/approachFor this work objectives, 380 questionnaires were analyzed. Convergent validity and discriminant validity tests were performed through partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) in the Smart-PLS programme. Data reliability was confirmed. A bootstrapping technique was used to analyze the data and then hypothesis testing was performed.FindingsThe results indicate that Industry 4.0 readiness, industrial Internet of things (IIoT) and big data analytics positively enable CE, also the IIoT and big data analytics positively mediate the nexus between Industry 4.0 readiness and CE.Practical implicationsThis study promotes the idea of focusing on Industry 4.0 readiness to enhance CE in the Jordanian manufacturing sector and knowing the effect of IIoT and big data analytics in this relationship.Originality/valueThis research developed a theoretical model to understand how Industry 4.0 readiness might enhance the CE in manufacturing firms by invoking the IIoT and big data analytics as mediating constructs in the relationship between Industry 4.0 readiness and CE. This paper offers new theoretical and practical contributions that add value to industry 4.0 and CE literature by testing these constructs' mediation models in the manufacturing sector.
