“…Second, the model also controls for the racial minority status (1 if non-white and 0 if white), as socio-historical experiences associated with racial minority status may influence racial minorities’ entrepreneurial behaviors (Neville et al, 2018). Third, studies show that educational attainment is closely related to development entrepreneurship, with higher educational attainment being associated with the decision to start an entrepreneurship and ability to run it (Orlova et al, 2016; Singh and Crump, 2007). Four different levels of educational attainment were specified and assigned numbers from 1 to 4.…”

This study examines factors affecting social entrepreneurs’ passion, focusing on their motives, job stress, and perceived work competence. The analysis of the survey data of 264 self-identified social entrepreneurs working in different types of organizations reveals that other-oriented motives are strongly associated with passion while self-oriented motives are not. The results also show that job stress is negatively correlated with social entrepreneurs’ passion. When the perceived work competence is included as a mediator, however, it alters the nature of the job stress-passion relationship, suggesting that job stress can positively affect social entrepreneurs’ passion when they perceive a high level of competence. The findings also suggest that perceived work competence reinforces the positive relationship between other-oriented motives and passion. This paper concludes with practical implications for social entrepreneurship education.

“…In another study, perceived social status and social support influenced entrepreneurial intentions among potential minority entrepreneurs (Abebe, 2012). In the case of African Americans, more focus is needed on improving educational achievement to expand the rate of entrepreneurship (Singh & Crump, 2007). Entrepreneurship education has been found to positively affect minority students' entrepreneurial intentions (Basu, 2010).…”

We examine minority entrepreneurial intentions in the U.S. and seek to make business leaders and business educators aware of minority students’ interest in entrepreneurship activity. Utilizing the theory of planned behavior, we investigated if demographic and behavioral factors are related to entrepreneurial intentions. A major contextual factor was that we performed our research during the COVID-19 pandemic. We surveyed the entrepreneurial intentions of 400 U.S. business college students, comparing minority respondents (n=137) with white respondents (n=263). The minority respondents belonged to the three predominant minority entrepreneur groups in the U.S. -- African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Asian Americans. Minority respondents had significantly greater entrepreneurial intentions than their white counterparts. We investigated contextual factors affecting minority entrepreneurial intentions and found that a significant difference existed regarding the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic in that it counter-intuitively increased minority entrepreneurial intentions. Significant personal factors included having family members who own a business and having a role model.

“…Researchers have explored the relationship between EI and many personal and demographic variables. For example, concerning EI, researchers have studied age and gender Farrukh et al, (2018); citizenship and prior industry experience (Bewaji et al, 2015); education, racial identity, and entrepreneurial education (Evans, 2010); race (Singh & Crump, 2007); differences between countries (Van Auken et al, 2006); educational level, employment status, and wage/salary level (Bishop & Surfield, 2013), and immigrants (Raijman, 2001). Therefore, we hypothesize the following: Hypothesis 2: There will be significant differences between business students who possess EI and those who do not regarding gender, age, marital status, or university major.…”

We examined factors contributing to developing entrepreneurial intentions (EI) and the relationship between EI and the entrepreneurial mindset (EM) among nascent student entrepreneurs. Further, we seek to increase awareness among business practitioners of the value of nascent entrepreneurs to the economy. Utilizing the theory of reasoned action and the theory of planned behavior, we investigated personal and contextual factors related to EI. We surveyed 400 US business college students, comparing those with EI (n=228) and those without EI (n=178). Our findings indicated that compared to respondents who did not have EI, respondents who possessed EI reported several significant personal factors. Specifically, they were more likely to view themselves as entrepreneurs, have family members who owned their own businesses, lead group projects as students, and have previously worked in a startup business. Additionally, the contextual factor of the Covid-19 pandemic positively affected business students who possessed EI.
