“…In the case of the Americas, studies were reported from Canada by Chrisman, Hynes, and Fraser [62], the United States by Dill [63], Chile by Bernasconi [64] and Argentina by Postigo, and Tamborini [65]. Further, a critical study in entrepreneurship in some Latin American countries was carried out by Chafloque-Cespedes et al [66]. Regarding green entrepreneurship, this subject was studied by Silajdžić, Kurtagić, and Vučijak in Bosnia and Herzegovina [67], Linskey in Japan [68], and Bonnet et al in the Netherlands [69].…”

This research assesses the influence of education development support, conceptual development support, and country support through entrepreneurial self-efficacy over green entrepreneurial intentions. A total of 532 business students in Ecuador participated in an online survey. Eight questions were focused on demographic information, and twenty-seven questions evaluated the green entrepreneurship intentions of students. An SEM-PLS technical analysis was used. The results showed that educational support for developing entrepreneurship (0.296), conceptual support for developing entrepreneurship (0.123), and country support for entrepreneurship (0.188) had a positive influence on entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and that entrepreneurial self-efficacy had a positive influence (0.855) on gren entrepreneurial intentions. The model explained 73.1% of the green entrepreneurial intentions. Outcomes of the bootstrapping test were used to evaluate if the path coefficients are significant. This study showed the impacts of education development support, conceptual development support, and country support on the entrepreneur’s ability to carry out green entrepreneurship were positive. This information can help universities develop strategic plans to achieve ecological ventures and ensure students have the necessary skills to do so on campus. The research findings also may be helpful for the governments in establishing new norms to promote entrepreneurship. The novelty is based on using the partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) technique.

“…To date, the effect of the personality traits of Latin American students on their intention to start a business in the information technology and telecommunications area has not been analyzed in depth. Studies in the region tend to analyze the effect of students' demographic characteristics or the effects of entrepreneurial education on students' entrepreneurial intentions [9][10][11] without examining the effect of personality on the intention to start specific new ventures, such as computer and telecommunications businesses. This lack of knowledge is relevant because this business area has increased during the last two years after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic due to growing demands for remote work, videoconference communication, telemedicine and online shopping.…”

Businesses associated with information technology and telecommunications have increased in importance since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic due to transformations in working and buying. Currently, universities in Latin America are making efforts to strengthen entrepreneurial attitudes and skills in their students. In this context, it is of interest to understand how the combination of personality traits, gender, income and age/generation affect entrepreneurial intentions toward these kinds of businesses. This research analyzes the responses of 788 university students from Chile and Ecuador to an online self-report survey using regression models with the aim of evaluating the effect of Big Five personality traits on the intention to undertake information technology and telecommunications businesses and measuring the moderation of gender, family income, and belonging to the centennial generation. The findings support a significant influence of the traits of neuroticism, openness and conscientiousness on entrepreneurial intention and suggest that female gender and higher family income have a negative impact on the intention to undertake these businesses. Moreover, an important moderating effect of female gender and lower family income levels is supported. This study sheds new light on students’ characteristics that affect their participation in information technology and telecommunications ventures through the identification of a unique combination of relevant personality traits, gender and income levels. The findings are useful for designing and developing appropriate programs aimed at developing this kind of technology business in Latin America as well as promoting the entrepreneurship of groups that express a lower intention to undertake businesses, such as female students.
