“…Hispanics and other minorities have different cultural backgrounds comprised of specific belief systems, values, attitudes, and language that shape how they conduct themselves in a business setting, how they deal with people, which strategies they use, and how they deal with day-to-day business activities. A past study (Alabduljader et al, 2020) stated: "cultural context impacts many individual-level factors related to entrepreneurship, such as individuals' cognitive scripts, including perceptions, attitudes, and entrepreneurial intentions." Differences in financial performance may result from family's influence and the prevalence of a stewardship-oriented culture (Alves et al, 2021).…”

PurposeThe authors test several hypotheses to analyze the influences of community-mindedness, ethical and social responsibility, culture, and gender on performance and job satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachUsing PLS-SEM the authors employ data gathered from a survey administered to a panel of 192 small business owners from across the US We compare the findings across ethnic groups, which result in significant path coefficients.FindingsGreater community mindedness and corporate social responsibility (CSR) lead to better performance, and that leads to greater satisfaction. Collectivism enhances these relationships, while female owners who are more community minded experience greater performance.Research limitations/implicationsOne limitation of the current study is the self-reporting nature of all the questionnaire items. In an effort to limit the potential negative effects of self-reporting, the authors conduct necessary validation to help ensure that our instrument measures what it is supposed to measure conceptually.Practical implicationsAs hypothesized, the influences are mostly positive relationships. Stronger community-mindedness leads to stronger business performance for Hispanic owners. On the contrary, White owners' performance significantly decreases.Social implicationsThe findings recommend that collectivism is the way to go. Small business owners should have a collective feeling for the community they live in and do business with. This generally leads to better business performance and subsequent satisfaction in life.Originality/valueOne major contribution of this study is to compare and contrast the findings across the two largest ethnic groups in the US – Whites and Hispanics. Another contribution of the study is to determine how social and ethical responsibilities affect business performance and satisfaction.

Entrepreneurial intention plays a critical role in the economic growth and development of countries. As a result, an increasing number of studies have examined different antecedents of entrepreneurial intention to understand how to foster entrepreneurial intention in a country. This research focuses on macro-environmental-related factors and endeavors to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the critical factors in these areas that can impact entrepreneurial intention. A total of 40 studies from high-ranked journals were systematically identified and analyzed in the field of entrepreneurship and management. This review sheds light on details of the key cultural, regional, and economic factors as well as governmental and political factors and highlights how they impact entrepreneurial intention. It also provides some suggestions for future research directions. While some systematic literature review papers have been conducted on entrepreneurial intention and its antecedents, environmental factors have only been identified broadly as key antecedents. This research systematically reviews the existing papers and unravels different aspects of these factors and explains how they impact entrepreneurial intention. In addition, it sheds light on related future research directions.
