“…Understanding these relationships is crucial to gain deeper insights into the social outcomes of refugee entrepreneurship, an area of research which is argued to be “so limited that reliable conclusions to guide decision making are still out of reach” (Desai et al , 2021, p. 3). More importantly, while abundant research focuses on the dark side of the refugee crisis on hosting countries’ economies (Tumen, 2016; Baloch et al , 2017) and their tourism industries in particular (Zenker et al , 2019; Tsartas et al , 2020), the present study joins recent limited research highlighting the bright side of refugees’ entrepreneurial endeavors in tourism and hospitality (Alrawadieh et al , 2019; Shneikat and Alrawadieh, 2019). Specifically, the current investigation highlights the role of tourism and hospitality in bringing about positive outcomes to refugees and their hosting countries through entrepreneurship (Alrawadieh et al , 2021), showcasing how the entrepreneurial motives of refugees can be a pathway to favorable perceptions of performance and how the latter can enhance their well-being.…”

“…subjective performance) (Weber and Geneste, 2014). A few works use subjective indicators (Fisher et al, 2014) or combine both approaches (Buttner and Moore, 1997;Dijkhuizen et al, 2018;Yodchai et al, 2021) in operationalizing entrepreneurial success. For instance, Walker and Brown (2004) suggest that both performance parameters (e.g.…”

“…Specifically, existing theoretical assessments are largely exploratory (Bizri, 2017; Alrawadieh et al , 2019; Harb et al , 2019; Shneikat and Alrawadieh, 2019; Baktir and Watson, 2020; Embiricos, 2020) with little focus on entrepreneurial endeavors of refugees in the tourism and hospitality industry (Shneikat and Alrawadieh, 2019; Alrawadieh et al , 2021). An investigation of refugees in general and refugee entrepreneurship in tourism and hospitality in particular is timely because refugee flows influence the “travelers’ experience” of visiting different destinations (Zenker et al , 2019). In addition, the tourism and hospitality industry has been identified as the main sector of the economy (with low entry barriers such as financial and social capital requirement) creating job opportunities for low-skilled refugees (Shneikat and Alrawadieh, 2019).…”

Purpose A burgeoning stream of tourism and hospitality research highlights the role of entrepreneurship in bringing about positive social and economic outcomes for both refugees themselves and their host countries. Yet little has been done so far both in mainstream entrepreneurship research and tourism scholarship to explore how motivations influence perceived entrepreneurial success of refugees and how this eventually affects their subjective well-being. To address this gap, the present study aims to propose and empirically test a conceptual model postulating relationships between contextual and individual entrepreneurial motives, perceptions of entrepreneurial success and life satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach This study draws on quantitative data collected through 172 surveys of refugee entrepreneurs venturing in different subsectors within tourism and hospitality in Turkey and the UK. A structural equation modeling (SEM) was used to test the proposed theoretical model. Findings The results reveal that contextual and individual entrepreneurial motives have a significant positive impact on perceived entrepreneurial success. As predicted, perceived entrepreneurial success is found to have a significant positive impact on life satisfaction. A multigroup analysis involving host country (Turkey vs the UK) and mode of entry (founder vs takeover) indicates no significant difference based on host country, whereas the strength of relationships for takeovers is relatively greater as compared to founders. Practical implications This study advocates that the reductionist approach viewing refugees as temporary “outsiders” who are in consistent need of public provision, and welfare services should not prevail against their ability to achieve self-efficiency through entrepreneurship. Hence, policies need to be oriented toward supporting refugee entrepreneurial activities over various business stages and modes of entry. More importantly, ensuring high success rates among refugee entrepreneurs should be viewed as a pivotal tool to address the well-being of refugees, their families and their fellows. Originality/value While previous research identifies drivers of entrepreneurship success and the potential favorable outcomes, none of these studies empirically models refugee entrepreneurship motives, self-reported entrepreneurial success and life satisfaction as a distinct and growing cohort of entrepreneurs. This study makes significant theoretical contributions to the corpus of literature on the social outcomes of entrepreneurship and provides timely implications for policymakers to use entrepreneurship as a market-based solution to address refugees’ subjective well-being.

The aim of this work was to study the behavior, productivity and conditions of second lactation Bos taurus during the period of adaptation to new keeping and milking conditions. Thirty-four cows of the local black-and-white breed of the second lactation (24-47 days after calving) were transferred from a brick barn for 100 heads with tie-stall keeping in a newly low cost housing facility for 400 heads with free-stall keeping. Milking equipment also changed: before the changing conditions of keeping, cows were milked in the milk duct at UDM-100, and after changing the conditions in the milking parlor at Carousel, 32 cows were milked at the same time. We divided the first 30 days in the new conditions of keeping and milking into VI periods. The duration of the main behavioral reactions: lying down, drinking, and eating food in the first days after changing the conditions of keeping and milking decreased significantly -by 181; 13 and 89 min, respectively. Behavioral responses at the end of the adaptation period (30 days) was lower than on the last day before changing housing and milking conditions. During the first 5 days after the change of housing and milking conditions, the average productivity of cows decreased by 1.39 kg (or 6.01%), content of milk fat, protein and lactose by 0.03; 0.02 and 0.04%, respectively compared to the last day before the transfer of animals. As for the fat content, the level of the indicator of the last day before the cows transfer was reached in the IV period; protein and lactose in the ІІІ period (11-15 days).

“…While the subject of entrepreneurship has been studied from a multitude of disciplinary perspectives (see for example Ahmad, 2015;Rivetti and Migliaccio, 2015;Swedberg, 2006;Yodchai et al, 2022), research on artist residencies has been overlooked from the aspect of hospitality. Instead, most research on artist residencies is based on organization theory and management studies, and as a consequence there is only passing mention of the subject in the hospitality literature.…”

Purpose Artist residencies comprise a unique accommodation type and a form of cultural entrepreneurship which remains overlooked from a hospitality perspective. This exploratory study aims to examine the phenomenon of artist residencies as specialist accommodation, as well as their operators’ motives as cultural entrepreneurs during the COVID-19 pandemic. Creation theory is used to explore how artist residency operators create entrepreneurial opportunities. Design/methodology/approach Asynchronous email interviews were conducted with 20 artist residency operators from 18 countries. Purposive sampling was used to select interviewees and thematic analysis to analyze the primary data. Findings The results showed that with few exceptions, artist residencies address all criteria of specialist accommodation, and that social interactions among artists and operators are fundamental in running an artist residency. From a cultural entrepreneurship perspective, most of the operators declared that their priorities were to promote artistic creativity and cultural knowledge exchange, confirming the main elements of creation theory. Practical implications Managerial implications are discussed to enhance the resilience of artist residencies and strengthen their financial viability, as well as to support them to overcome the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Originality/value This study extends the hospitality literature by adding the artist residencies to the existing types of specialist accommodation. It also examines creation theory and concludes that artistic creativity and cultural networks are prominent in artist residency entrepreneurial activities.
