“…Researchers are showing an increased interest in exploring the GEM data sets (Arafat et al, 2019; Arenius & Minniti, 2005; Autio et al, 2013; Bakar et al, 2017; Cetindamar et al, 2012; Davidsson & Honig, 2003; Khan et al, 2019a; Langowitz & Minniti, 2007; Tsai et al, 2016). The objective of our study is to examine the impact of social legitimacy on the intention to create new ventures (Khan et al, 2021), and the data provided by the GEM APS is in congruence with the objective of our study; hence, we have used the APS part of GEM.…”

This study aims to explain the determinants of entrepreneurship among Indian individuals. The researchers have examined the role of social (legitimacy) and personal (personality, competency and financial resources) factors related to an individual’s new venture creation in India. This study utilises the data set of 3,403 Indian respondents from the latest available individual-level data collected by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor. Binary logistic regression has been employed to test the study’s proposed hypotheses. The results indicate that constructs related to financial resources, entrepreneurial personality and entrepreneurial competencies significantly predict the individual’s decision to start a new venture. However, in contrast to many previous studies, factors related to social legitimacy (social status and professional attraction) were not significant in determining the start-up decision. Policy implications have been discussed.

“…According to Khan et al (2019), the higher one's level of education the lower their intention to participate in an entrepreneurial start-up. Drawing on Morris et al (2006), we include education attainment as a categorical variable, differentiating between undergraduates (who have not yet received a bachelor's degree) and postgraduates (who continue studying by pursuing a master's degree or a doctorate).…”

“…However, Ozaralli and Rivenburgh (2016) argued that as entrepreneurs become older, their intention to start their own business becomes more pronounced. Additionally, men seem to be more open to entrepreneurial training (Harris & Gibson, 2008), and individuals with higher education attainment seem to have lower EI (Khan et al, 2019).…”

Unveiling the role of entrepreneurial knowledge and cognition as antecedents of entrepreneurial intention: a meta-analytic study

Although entrepreneurial intention has been regarded as one of the most important drivers of creativity, innovation, and performance in firms, a comprehensive framework that integrates the relevant influential factors has yet to be developed. Drawing on the theory of planned behavior and the social cognitive career theory, this study investigates the critical antecedents, mediators, and moderators of entrepreneurial intention. A meta-analytic approach is employed to validate the proposed hypotheses, and 89 primary studies with a total sample size of 51,919 are analyzed. The results indicate the existence of differences in the manner in which entrepreneurial knowledge influences cognitive antecedents in the individuals who participate in new ventures. Furthermore, personal attitude and self-efficacy play a vital role in predicting entrepreneurial intention. Demographic characteristics (such as age, gender, and education background) significantly moderate the relationship between cognitive antecedents and entrepreneurial intention, indicating that men tend to adopt more entrepreneurial behaviors than women, that older individuals with more positive attitudes have a higher propensity to start ventures than younger ones, and that those with higher education attainment tend to have lower self-employment. These findings offer several recommendations. They could provide valuable references for further academic work, which should aim to extend and validate them. The findings are also very beneficial for professional experts tasked with the design of effective programs for enhancing entrepreneurial behavior.

“…The significant role that entrepreneurship plays in enhancing socio-economic evolution in both developed and developing countries is widely discussed in the literature (Faggio and Silva, 2014; Cui et al , 2019; Ahmed et al , 2020; Elnadi and Gheith, 2021). The idea of entrepreneurial intention (EI) is vital for the area of entrepreneurship development and can frequently be seen in studies related to entrepreneurial behaviour (Ahmad et al , 2014; Györfy, 2014; Khan et al , 2019; Dileo and García Pereiro, 2019; Bilgiseven and Kasimoǧlu, 2019). Arafat and Saleem (2017) investigated the factors that affect the decision to start a new business among Indians and concluded that gender, perceived opportunities, self-efficacy and risk perception are the major determining factors for establishing a new business in India.…”

Purpose This paper aims at examining the factors affecting entrepreneurial intention (EI) among the rural adult population in India using the social cognitive theory (SCT). Design/methodology/approach This study is based on the Adult Population Survey of the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor of 2017, covering 1,397 rural respondents from India. The data has been analysed using simple techniques such as Chi-square statistics, correlation and logistics regression. Findings About 16% of the rural adults have reported EI in India. A significant relationship emerged between the demographics of rural adults with and without intention towards entrepreneurship. Finally, the regression model representing two components of the SCT, that is, confidence towards entrepreneurship and outcome expectations from entrepreneurship, showed a significant impact on EI among the rural population when controlled by family size and working status. Practical implications This paper provides insights on factors affecting EI among rural adults, which can help in developing a policy framework for promoting new ventures among rural entrepreneurs. The result of the analysis indicates that the rural population need to be imparted the necessary skills to gain confidence in entrepreneurship, which should be aligned with the outcome expectations of the entrepreneurs. Originality/value This piece of research can be valuable for different stakeholders in adopting inclusive entrepreneurial initiatives. Moreover, entrepreneurship in rural areas has not gained much attention among scholars, and this study is intended to provide future research motivation.
