The study of how affect relates to entrepreneurship has become a relevant topic of research in recent years. Unfortunately, such rapid developments have led to theoretical inconsistencies and empirical gaps that could result in an incomplete understanding of entrepreneurship's affective dimensions. To address these issues and motivate future work, the authors conducted a systematic review of 65 articles on the role of affect in entrepreneurship. The results show that research has focused on the valence facet of affect, has paid little attention to affect's role beyond the individual level of analysis, and has devoted more attention to the consequences of affect than to its antecedents. The results also show that unbalanced attention has been paid to affect's role in different stages of the entrepreneurial process. Building on these analyses, the authors propose a research agenda that not only encourages investigations of previously overlooked topics and facets of affect, but also stresses the potential of examining competing cognitive and non‐cognitive arguments relating to affect's role. The authors also encourage future investigations of affect's role across levels of analysis and stages of the entrepreneurial process.

“…Extant studies into perceived self-efficacy in the entrepreneurship domain have largely focussed on either or both of two areas: first, factors that influence self-efficacy, such as counterfactual thinking (Arora, Haynie and Laurence, 2013), elements of strategic decision making processes (Forbes, 2005), business planning activities (McCann and Vroom, 2015), entrepreneurship education (Sánchez, 2013;Zhao, Seibert and Hills, 2005), pull entrepreneurship (Dalborg and Wincent, 2015), gender (Wilson, Kickul and Marlino, 2007), and national culture (Shneor, Camgöz and Karapinar, 2013). The second area focuses upon effects of selfefficacy; for example: the influence self-efficacy may have upon an individual's intention to become an entrepreneur (Bacq, Ofstein, Kickul and Gundry, 2016;Lanero, Vázquez and Aza, 2015), entrepreneurial orientation (Poon, Ainuddin and Haji Junit, 2006), and entrepreneurial passion (Dalborg and Wincent, 2015).…”

This article combines two popular, yet separate concepts: dynamic capabilities and self-efficacy. Both are concerned with ability/capability and offer potentially valuable synergies. As such, our in-depth qualitative study based in three micro-enterprises in the United Kingdom investigates, ‘what role(s) may owner-manager perceived self-efficacy play as a micro-foundation of dynamic capabilities in micro-enterprises?’ Our findings show that perceived self-efficacy can influence dynamic capability enactment in multifaceted ways and even suggest that in some cases, perceived self-efficacy is a crucial component of dynamic capabilities, without which there may be no such capability. These insights help open up the black box of dynamic capabilities by contributing important knowledge to the growing body of research into the micro-foundations of such capabilities. Furthermore, our study illuminates the importance of idiosyncratic micro-foundations of dynamic capabilities in micro-enterprises and expands extant knowledge of the potential effects of self-efficacy in the small business and entrepreneurship domain.

“…Surveys among secondary school students and university undergraduates in Malaysia revealed that self-efficacy had significant and positive relationship with entrepreneurship intention [16]- [18]. However, a study among participating US entrepreneurs revealed that cognition for self-efficacy in entrepreneurship was moderated by entrepreneurs" dispositional attributes [19].…”

Abstract-This paper examined how technical and business undergraduates perceive their ability to cope, perform and be successful in entrepreneurship. Previous research findings suggest that entrepreneurial intentions and actions are affected by individuals' self-esteem or self-efficacy pertaining to the self-confidence and perceived competency in business affairs. Perceived competence often refers to knowledge, skills and behavior, which are considered as the antecedence of self-confidence. As such, business students may be assumed to have higher self-esteem in business affairs than non-business students. However, little is known whether or not this assumption is valid. To address this issue, a set of questionnaire were distributed to technical and business undergraduates at two higher learning institutions to gauge their level of self-efficacy in business affairs. The study aims to explain the relationships between the component of individuals' self-efficacy, background and the entrepreneurial intention of technical and business undergraduates. The findings revealed that individuals' self-efficacy correlated with their training¸ but not with their informal entrepreneurship exposure and entrepreneurship intentions. The results also indicate that business and non-business students differ in one of the attitude components of self-efficacy.
