“…In traditional business, previous studies have demonstrated a link between MFN and start-up intention (Caliendo et al, 2014;Frese & Gielnik, 2014;Gelderen et al, 2019;Rerup, 2005). Although, Gelderen et al (2019) declare that individuals with lower levels of mindfulness were more likely to take entrepreneurial action than higher mindful ones, but they also found that individuals with a high level of mindfulness when they have decided to start a business will take more action, even more drastic, if they have business experience. This also makes sense when explaining SEI as entrepreneurs must have consideration and understanding before deciding to enter this field.…”

“…In entrepreneurship, MFN can help explain how entrepreneurs anticipate and take advantage of opportunities that others may not (Capel, 2014;Rerup, 2005). High levels of MFN can promote entrepreneurial behaviour through increased flexibility in awareness of situations (Gelderen et al, 2019). These are the important prerequisites for an individual to increase SEI.…”

This study aims to demonstrate the positive relationships between mindfulness, perceived social support, and social entrepreneurship intention (SEI) using the theory of planned behaviour (TPB). Research Design & Methods:This study surveyed 525 students who have been taking social entrepreneurship courses of non-profit organizations in Vietnam. Data was collected through a pre-designed questionnaire at Google Form from August to October 2020 and analysed by structural equation modelling to verify the research model and hypotheses. Findings: The research confirmed the positive relationships between mindfulness, perceived social support, and social entrepreneurial intention (SEI). Among them, the role of mindfulness is the most important, because its impact on SEI is the strongest. This study has also shown that the components of the theory of planned behaviour have an intermediary role to strengthen the relationships in the research model. Implications & Recommendations:This study confirms the need to include mindfulness courses when training future social entrepreneurs to help them for acquiring the right attitudes and forming social entrepreneurial intentions. Contribution & Value Added: This study found that practicing mindfulness drastically changes entrepreneurs' attitudes towards social entrepreneurship. In contrast, perceived social support makes these entrepreneurs display a higher level of self-efficacy in forming social entrepreneurial intentions. Article type:research article

“…Indeed, meditation is a broad umbrella term that can refer to different contemplative practices (e.g., mindfulness meditation, LKM, visualization meditation; see Dahl et al (2015) for a detailed review and classification). Another form of meditation, mindfulness, has seen increasing popularity in research, including in management and entrepreneurship (e.g., Good et al, 2016; Kudesia, 2019; Murnieks et al, 2019; van Gelderen et al, 2019), and in the popular press (e.g., Gelles, 2018) where it is sometimes used interchangeably with the larger concept of meditation. To avoid confusion, our specific focus in this study is on LKM.…”

Entrepreneurial fear of failure is a ubiquitous yet aversive experience with critical implications for entrepreneurial action and well-being. To understand how entrepreneurs can effectively cope with fear-inducing obstacles, we hypothesize and experimentally test the extent to which self-compassion, cultivated through Loving-Kindness Meditation (LKM), counteracts entrepreneurs’ fear of failure when facing a threatening venture obstacle. Compared to an active control group, entrepreneurs exposed to a brief guided LKM showed higher self-compassion, which, in turn, was associated with lower fear reactivity. We offer novel contributions to entrepreneurship theory and practice by highlighting the role of meditation and self-compassion in building entrepreneurial resilience.

“…In this regard, we recommend future research to explore the pathways through which HSPs can flourish in entrepreneurship. It may be interesting to consider mindfulness (Van Gelderen, Kibler, Kautonen, Munoz, & Wincent, 2018) as the link between SPS and entrepreneurial action, as well as the interplay of inhibition-SPS versus disinhibition/impulsivity-ETP (Lerner, Hatak, & Rauch, 2018) for entrepreneurial action, adding to the emerging conversation on logics of entrepreneurship (Lerner, Hunt, & Dimov, 2018).…”

Research on entrepreneurial personality traits has done a commendable job in developing theory and providing evidence for the consistent effects of the entrepreneurial trait profile (ETP) on various entrepreneurial outcomes. While research has established the fit between the extravert, conscientious and open traits and entrepreneurial intention (EI), the view that entrepreneurship may provide an alternative career path for people outside the norm has attracted increasing interest. In this study, we explore a counterweight to the dominant 'superhero' personality perspective by arguing that, in entrepreneurship, highly sensitive persons (HSPs) can attend to their own needs and skills, and turn their weaknesses into strengths. Sensory processing sensitivity (SPS)a fundamental meta-personality traitmay provide the crucial piece in the personality puzzle related to opportunity recognition ability (ORA) and the intention to act entrepreneurially. We adopt a person-environment fit approach and employ fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). We find that combinations of either SPS or ETP and ORA are sufficient conditions for EI. This study contributes to the literature on entrepreneurial traits by inviting reconsideration of the stereotypical view of extrovert and open entrepreneurs and acknowledging the strength of a 'weak' trait. Highlights • We introduce sensory processing sensitivity to the entrepreneurship literature. • Highly sensitive persons with opportunity recognition ability have entrepreneurial intention. • A tradeoff exists between sensory processing sensitivity and the entrepreneurial trait profile concerning entrepreneurial intention.
