“…Children raised in highanxiety families are more likely to become employees after their first failed entrepreneurial venture. This condition supports fewer individuals with a tendency to be highly anxious to become and or remain to be entrepreneurs (Zelekha et al, 2018). This is in line with Muis (2017) arguing that individuals with entrepreneurial passion significantly affect their ability to recognize business ideas in their environment and this ability becomes a trigger to create spontaneous opportunities, which eventually becomes a significant variable for taking business risks.…”

“…Early research on entrepreneurship looked at entrepreneurs as a uniform class and focused on personality characteristics of entrepreneurs. Since the early 2000’s, a new stream of research stresses the relationship between individual differences in entrepreneurship in four main domains: entrepreneurial personality traits [ 38 – 41 ], attachment orientations [ 42 ], entrepreneurial motivation [ 43 ] and cognition [ 44 , 45 ].…”

This research examines the entrepreneurship gender gap by offering an additional novel explanation for the higher share of men in entrepreneurial activity focusing on intergenerational parental role. Participants (N = 1288) aged 18–81, including 259 actual entrepreneurs, completed questionnaires about entrepreneurship tendency, personality traits and socioeconomic background. The gender gap in actual entrepreneurship continues a significant difference in entrepreneurial tendency, which is developed in the first and the second stages of the entrepreneurial trajectory. When women reach the third stage of entrepreneurial development, the execution stage, they have already acquired a self-perception of an incapable and incommensurate entrepreneurial personality. The results indicate that role modeling behavioral channel significantly accounts for the gender gap in entrepreneurial personality. The results suggest that both parents contribute to women’s’ inferior perception of entrepreneurial personality and that their contribution affects all four aspects of the entrepreneurial tendency. It appears that the impact of fathers’ role modeling is larger than that of mothers, and furthermore fathers transfer other entrepreneurial role models from their side in the family.

Background: Some businesses, compared to million-dollar enterprises, fail to make an impact. As a result, some entrepreneurs resort to closing their businesses. To excel in their professions, they need to cope with business losses. Method: This paper used a phenomenological design to understand the participants lived experiences, particularly Filipino migrant workers who have experienced business loss, relative to the central question, How do Filipino professionals cope with business loss? Findings: Filipinos displaying entrepreneurial characteristics (business mindedness, profit orientation, future planning) have desires to raise enterprises. However, entrepreneurial trials (e.g. management issues, competition issues, financial burdens) will be faced, which result in business losses. They coped with losses through entrepreneurial solutions, specifically career motivation and family motivation. Conclusion: Maintaining an enterpriseis never easy as it requires sacrifices, time, and especially money. Business disasters come with overwhelming consequences and complications. Nevertheless, after facing different challenges of experiencing business loss, former entrepreneurs can achieve breakthroughs. This research aims to help future entrepreneurs cope with predicted business losses. Recommendation: The researchers recommend considering other coping mechanisms to explore other options for future entrepreneurs. Furthermore, it is also recommended to focus on one business nature and one employment sector to achieve more specific findings.
