“…On the other hand, crowdfunding can significantly influence the entrepreneur's self-efficacy. Rauch and Frese (2007) mentioned that entrepreneurial self-efficacy for commencing a new business project is a vital issue in growing the probability of business start-up activity. Consequently, Chen et al (1998) mentioned that limited financing negatively affects the selfefficacy of an entrepreneur as well as lack of self-efficacy is improbable to work at novel projects and believe in their aptitudes.…”

The novel funding sources turn out to be important for the Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) sector all over the world especially after 2007-2008 world financial crisis. Thus, to develop a new business idea and start-ups, SMEs need a sufficient amount of capital. However, after the financial crisis in 2008, SME sector faced the challenges of attracting new capital. Therefore, an innovative method of fundraising for SME was introduced as crowdfunding. Crowdfunding indicates financing a project or an idea via the internet owing the help from the many investors or donors of a society. Since there are limited works about the influence of Crowdfunding on Entrepreneur Self-efficacy (ESE), hence, to minimize the research gap and to achieve the objective of the study, we conduct a quantitative research among 190 entrepreneurs in Bangladesh using crowdfunding based on Social Cognitive theory. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in IBM-SPSS-Amos 25.0 and the stated hypotheses were tested. The study found a direct and positive effect of Crowdfunding on Entrepreneur's Self-efficacy (β=0.924, P=.001). Overall, the result has landed support for crowdfunding, which indicates that it can influence on self-efficacy of entrepreneur. In order to determine the need of crowdfunding, we have explained and statistically demonstrated how crowdfunding can provide a supplementary channel where firms can gain finance and to create self-efficacy of entrepreneurs through exploiting the potential of internet..

“…Because both the individuals and the opportunities are heterogeneous (e.g., Rauch & Frese, 2007;Samuelsson & Davidsson, 2009), individuals can recognize entrepreneurial opportunities, but they do not necessarily recognize them as opportunities that they themselves can or should pursue. McMullen & Shepherd (2006) coined the term 'potential opportunities for anyone' versus 'potential opportunities for a specific individual', which highlight the distinction between third and first-person entrepreneurial opportunities (Mitchell & Shepherd, 2010), respectively.…”

“…Second, the study extends the theory of planned behaviour by adding a psychological age perspective to our understanding of the factors that influence whether and how intentions lead to subsequent actions. Hence, we also respond to the call for longitudinal designs in entrepreneurship research concerning the relationships between personality traits, cognition and performance (Rauch & Frese, 2007).…”

“…In this thesis, only three of the most frequently confirmed personality traits, namely, need for achievement, risk-taking propensity and autonomy are adopted and reviewed. Rauch & Frese (2007) used the same traits in their meta-analysis of the effect of personality on entrepreneurship Kaczmarek & Kaczmarek-Kurczak, (2016) opined that extraverts tend to score high on risk-taking, energy-level, activity-level, dominance and optimism. It is thus posited that entrepreneur that scores high on extraversion performs better than an entrepreneur that scores low on extraversion.…”

The study examined personality traits as predictors of entrepreneurial intention among managers of telecom industries in Nigeria. Opinions of two hundred and five (205) respondents were randomly sampled across various offices of Globacom Plc in Lagos State, Nigeria. A battery of standardized tests was administered on them using a cross-sectional survey research design. One hypothesis was tested in the study. Results revealed that extraversion (β =0.147, t = 2.582; P < .05), neuroticism (β = -.271, t = 4.358; P< .05), openness to experience (β =.224, t =3.456; P<.05) are significantly independently predicted entrepreneurial intention among managers of telecom industries in Nigeria. It was also found out that extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, neuroticism, and openness to experience significantly and jointly predicted entrepreneurial intention among managers of telecom industries in Nigeria {F (6, 204) = 24.895; P < .05}, R 2 = .413. Results were discussed in line with the literature. It was recommended that since this study has established a strong relationship between personality traits and entrepreneurial intentions, telecom industries should as a matter of urgency include personality identification in their training regimen, this will go a long way in bringing fulfillment to managers , and consequently better the lots of their companies.
