“…The GEM project offers a wealth of information on entrepreneurship, and a growing number of high-impact publications address the phenomenon using its data (Roman ı et al, 2021). Nonetheless, most of these studies focus mainly on aspects such as intention, entrepreneurial activity or economic growth (Bakar et al, 2017;Dvoulet y and Orel, 2020;Wong et al, 2005). Similarly, the research conducted by Urbano et al (2010), and Alvarez et al (2014) on GEM-based studies included in Thomson Reuters' Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI)/Journal Citation Report (JCR), during different periods, illustrates the predominance of works with an institutional or economic focus, analyzing the determinants of entrepreneurial activity, intention or opportunity detection.…”

PurposeEntrepreneurship is presented as a vehicle for innovation and social development. Given the importance of entrepreneurship, the objective of this study was to analyze the psychological and sociological dimensions by determining the factors that explain individual perceptions and cultural support for entrepreneurship.Design/methodology/approachUsing Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) data obtained from the Adult Population Survey (APS) (N = 2,500) in the region of Andalusia (Spain), a quantitative analysis was carried out, specifically a multivariate analysis based on four-stage linear regressions.FindingsThe variables examined do not explain the psychological and sociological dimensions to the same extent. The results highlight the existence of cultural homogeneity between provinces, the importance of sociodemographic variables and the influence of the entrepreneurial expectations and experiences of the population, especially in shaping individual perceptions towards entrepreneurship.Research limitations/implicationsThe replication of the study at the national and international levels is proposed in order to delve deeper into the cultural differences that condition entrepreneurship. Including new variables associated with entrepreneurial human capital could also be of interest.Practical implicationsThe results can help to improve the design and implementation of policies and programs aimed at fostering entrepreneurship through the promotion of favorable individual perceptions and entrepreneurial culture.Originality/valueThe originality of this study is the consideration of individual perceptions and cultural support for entrepreneurship as dependent variables, since they are normally incorporated as explanatory factors. The results contribute to the advancement of knowledge of the entrepreneurial phenomenon through two approaches, psychological and sociological.

“…The study, based on the empirical strategy set by (Dvouletý, 2019), calls for further contributions from different national perspectives to allow for a cross-national comparison of levels of entrepreneurial activity. In addition, the study follows the distinction made in (Dvouletý & Orel, 2020) regarding self-employed individuals with and without further employees to follow their development path separately.…”

The objective of the article is to understand the development of Turkish entrepreneurial activity over the last 15 years. Research Design & Methods:The research design employed in this article is a quantitative one, mainly by utilizing the data available from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor and Eurostat to map the structure and the development of Turkish entrepreneurial activity between 2006 and 2020. With respect to gender, age and education status of Turkish self-employed, the article also employs a chi-square test of association. Findings: The main empirical results of this article identify that whereas the overall share of self-employed among the active Turkish population dropped from 24% in 2006 to 17% in 2020, this is not only above the EU-27 average, but also largely due to a drop in the share of own account workers. The article highlights that over the duration of 15 years, the share of job creators among the active Turkish population remained stable despite all the negative events occurred in Turkey. The article also identifies a gender imbalance in terms of self-employment, and a significant difference between educational background of own account workers and job creators. Implications & Recommendations: Understanding the patterns of development of Turkish entrepreneurial economic activity in the last 15 years can serve as a point of departure for both entrepreneurship researchers and policymakers. For entrepreneurship researchers, the case not only allows for a cross-national comparison, but also delivers empirical evidence from a transition country. For policymakers, fluctuations in the number of own account workers deserve more attention whereas stability of job creators can be further analysed for understanding what makes this group particularly stable despite all the negative events that occurred over the last decade. Contribution & Value Added:The study contributes to the literature by offering a current overview of Turkish entrepreneurial activity in the last 15 years. Since the literature on Turkish entrepreneurship is primarily dominated by topics such as students' entrepreneurial intentions, women entrepreneurship or migrant entrepreneurship, the study offers empirical evidence to see the bigger picture of Turkish entrepreneurial economic activity.

“…Therefore, entrepreneurial intentions play a crucial role in the individual's motivation to start a new business, as these intentions precede the action of starting a business idea and, consequently, help in the development of the entrepreneurial process and making decisions (Krueger et al, 2000). Entrepreneurial decision-making has been approached from different domains, such as gender, age, education or entrepreneurial confidence (Dvouletý & Orel, 2020). Moreover, other variables, such as gender, have long been a disputed issue in the entrepreneurial environment and influential in entrepreneurial orientation (Goktan & Gupta, 2015), so it becomes relevant to consider whether it has an influence on entrepreneurial motivation.…”

The main objective of the article is to show how the influence of Covid-19 affects entrepreneurial motivation through the variables of creativity, leadership, and communication, understood as information available and transferable within the environment. Research Design & Methods:The study was performed by means of an email survey questionnaire conducted on 63 employees in Madrid (Spain). The propositions and the research model were tested with fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). Findings: The results illustrate that employees who aspire to become entrepreneurs evidence specific configurations in relation to the variables proposed before the Covid-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, these configurations in the new normal are only determinant for the absence of entrepreneurial decision. Implications & Recommendations: Background affects the link between the variables of creativity, communication, leadership, and entrepreneurial motivation. Thus, the uncertainty derived from Covid-19 influences entrepreneurial development, and consequently, it is recommended to consider these aspects in government policies that encourage support to potential entrepreneurs. Contribution & Value Added: Through a comprehensive assessment, this research contributes to the literature on entrepreneurship by addressing the gap related to entrepreneurial motivation and the impact of the new normal in the face of
