“…This result was consistent with many other investigations that have found that individual attitudes predict entrepreneurial intentions (Carlson, 1985;Ferreira et al, 2012;Hayton & Cacciotti, 2013;Kautonen et al, 2011;Segal et al, 2005;Zapkau et al, 2015). In addition, we found that social innovation orientation influenced intentions indirectly, through social entrepreneurial attitude.…”

“…Research has shown that beliefs, values, and attitudes can affect the decision to become an entrepreneur (Hayton & Cacciotti, 2013). Similarly, several studies have shown a significant relationship between attitude and entrepreneurial intention (Ferreira, Raposo, Rodrigues, Dinis, & Paço, 2012;Kautonen, Tornikoski, & Kibler, 2011;Zapkau, Schwens, Steinmetz, & Kabst, 2015). In addition, we also suggest that the influence of social innovation orientation on intentions is indirect, through social entrepreneurial attitudes.…”

“…Whereas certain investigations have found that subjective norms are a significant yet weak predictor of intentions (Armitage & Conner, 2001;Kautonen, Van Gelderen, & Tornikoski, 2013;Luthje & Franke, 2003), others have reported inconsistent results (Kautonen et al, 2011;Sommer & Haug, 2011;Van Gelderen et al, 2008;Zapkau et al, 2015). Some researchers have concluded that subjective norms are strongly dependent on context (Hübner & Kaiser, 2006;Legris, Ingham, & Collerette, 2003).…”

Purpose -The purpose of our investigation is threefold. First, we assess the role of sustainable and social values as precursors of social innovation orientation, while taking into account interests as to financial returns. Second, we examine the role of social innovation orientation as an antecedent of a social entrepreneurship attitude. Third, we examine how attitude, subjective norms and entrepreneurship self-efficacy influence intentions of beginning a social entrepreneurship venture among Mexico residents.Design/methodology/approach -We conducted 745 surveys among low-income Mexico residents who expressed interest in initiating a social entrepreneurship venture. We used structural equation modeling to test the hypothesized model.Findings -Results showed the positive influence of social values on social innovation orientation, while taking into account the influence of financial interests. Social innovation orientation, an attitude toward social entrepreneurship, entrepreneurial self-efficacy and subjective norms were identified as positive predictors of social entrepreneurial intentions.Originality/value -The paper provides useful information about the importance of values to understanding social innovation orientation and social entrepreneurship intentions.

“…Previous research has largely attended to the direct relationship between parents' entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial career intentions (e.g., BarNir et al 2011;Laspita et al 2012) or has only examined the effect of parents' entrepreneurship on the theoretical antecedents (e.g., perceived desirability and feasibility) of entrepreneurial career intentions (Carr and Sequeira 2007;Zapkau, Schwens, Steinmetz and Kabst 2015). We advance this research by theorizing and empirically demonstrating that perceptions of PPE affect the theoretical antecedents of intentions, i.e., desirability and feasibility perceptions, and that they change the magnitude of the desirability-intention and feasibility-intention relationships.…”

Parents’ performance in entrepreneurship as a “double-edged sword” for the intergenerational transmission of entrepreneurship

et al. 2017

We investigate how perceived parents' performance in entrepreneurship (PPE) affects the entrepreneurial career intentions of offspring. We argue that while perceived PPE enhances offspring's perceived entrepreneurial desirability and feasibility because of exposure mechanisms, it inhibits the translation of both desirability and feasibility perceptions into entrepreneurial career intentions due to upward social comparison mechanisms. Thus, perceived PPE acts as a double-edged sword for the intergenerational transmission of entrepreneurship. Our predictions are tested and confirmed on a sample of 21,895 individuals from 33 countries. This study advances the literature on intergenerational transmission of entrepreneurship by providing a foundation for understanding the social psychological conditions necessary for such transmission to occur.

“…This assumption is based on several earlier studies, which have discussed the existence of role models but have neglected the influence of role model's inspiration (e.g. Krueger 1993; Matthews and Moser, 1996;Zapkau et al, 2015). Also, based on informal observational education with role models, youth could be encouraged to choose a particular career path (Barling et al, 1998;Krumboltz et al, 1976;Mitchell and Krumboltz, 1984).…”

Can role models boost entrepreneurial attitudes?

This multi-country study used role models to boost perceptions of entrepreneurial feasibility and desirability. The results of a structural equation model based on a sample comprising 426 individuals who were primarily from Austria, Finland and Greece revealed a significant positive influence on perceived entrepreneurial desirability and feasibility. These findings support the argument for embedding entrepreneurial role models in entrepreneurship education courses to promote entrepreneurial activities. This direction is not only relevant for the academic community but also essential for nascent entrepreneurs, policymakers and society at large.
