Finally, intention is a predictor of entrepreneurs' subsequent actions which are linked to sustainable entrepreneurship [14].

“…Focusing on entrepreneurs' direct experiences, firm performance, and the psychological state which results from entrepreneurial endeavors facilitates a more detailed explanation of subsequent intention, which complements the research on intention in a serial entrepreneurial context. This entrepreneurial intention is a predictor of entrepreneurs' subsequent actions, which are associated with sustainable entrepreneurship [14]. Particularly, business model innovation and other innovative behaviors derived from continuous entrepreneurial engagement contribute to the sustainability of a business in a significant manner [15].…”

Subsequent entrepreneurial intention is a good predictor of serial entrepreneurial endeavors which facilitate the sustainability of economic growth. Previous research has investigated the influence of economic outcomes on continuous engagement in entrepreneurial activities. However, despite frequent calls by scholars, limited attention has been given to the psychological factors that could explain how economic performance influences intention. This study aims at answering some of these questions, including whether entrepreneurs are willing to continue creating new ventures after achieving positive economic feedback from their current business, and what the psychological drivers are behind such intentions. Borrowing insights from the field of positive psychology, this study develops a framework to understand the role of the performance of a firm and happiness in the subsequent intention formation process, testing the mediated moderation effect using data collected from 1019 entrepreneurs in China. The results show that current firm performance significantly enhances subsequent entrepreneurial intention, while the relationship is mediated by the happiness of the entrepreneurs. Family cohesion attenuates the influence of firm performance on happiness, which shows that for entrepreneurs, family issues play an important role in their mental state. The theoretical and practical implications of the framework are also discussed.

PurposeThis research aims to test the relationships between organisational mindfulness, social learning and opportunistic behaviour of small business leaders during the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachSemi-structured interviews were conducted with six small business leaders from various sectors to explore and better grasp the unprecedented phenomenon. An online survey on small business owners and managers in Indonesia was then employed as the main study, resulting in 291 valid responses for further analysis. The data were analysed using regression on SmartPLS 3.0 software.FindingsThis research finds that organisational mindfulness and social learning have positive and significant associations with the ability of small business leaders to discover and exploit opportunities. The path analysis suggests that organisational mindfulness plays a pivotal role as it also partially mediates the relationship between social learning and opportunistic behaviour.Originality/valueThis is the first paper to test the relationships between organisational mindfulness, social learning and opportunistic behaviour, particularly in the context of COVID-19 pandemic. This work also contributes by emphasising the critical linkages between internal and external capabilities triggered by small business leaders to survive the pandemic.

“…The articles in this special issue Dabić et al (2021) present an innovative way of reviewing literature that combines elements of bibliometric analysis with systematic literature review in their article, "Serial entrepreneurs: A review of literature and guidance for future research." This combined method allows the authors to shed light on research into serial entrepreneurship, a fundamental topic considering that as many as 50 percent of all entrepreneurs are serial.…”
