“…Belief in one's own capacities is related to business development and therefore to entrepreneurship (Porfírio et al, 2018). Business performance is an important component for the viability of new companies and relies heavily on both the judgment of the ability to succeed and the confidence of the entrepreneur to make the right decisions (García‐Vidal et al, 2019; Ruvio et al, 2010). In our study, the relationship between entrepreneur confidence and performance could be assumed as follows:Hypothesis Entrepreneur confidence positively influences business performance.…”

The article presents a theoretical model of the entrepreneur's capacities and their influence on business performance. Starting from the traditional theory of dynamic capacities, those related to entrepreneurship and/or that influence the entrepreneur's capacities are identified, determining factors such as training, experience and confidence. In addition, other factors such as the environmental and institutional environment have been taken into account as they affect the entrepreneurship. For this purpose, a study was carried out with the Smart PLS software in a sample of companies in the tourism sector in the Mar Menor Region (Spain). An essential factor in the development of entrepreneurship in the region is the sustainability of the coastal lagoon. Some considerations are obtained from the study of the factors that determine the model of capacities, in which the confidence of the entrepreneur and the environmental sustainability, exert a positive and significant influence in the business performance. Furthermore, among the mentioned capacities of the entrepreneurial influence, experience and trust are the ones that most influence the success of the tourism business.

“…Therefore, this study provides some contributions to prior literature on entrepreneurship. First, a few studies have provided evidence that entrepreneurship support programs and NESE can enhance self-confidence or inspire positive emotion (Hamzah et al, 2016;Nabi et al, 2018;García-Vidal et al, 2019). However, there is a lack of an integrated perspective when exploring the intervening mechanism in the relationship between entrepreneurship education programs, NESE, opportunity recognition (OR), and entrepreneurial intention.…”

Influence of entrepreneurship support programs on nascent entrepreneurial intention among university students in China

This study aimed to investigate the impact of entrepreneurial educational support (NEES), entrepreneurial activities support (NEAS), and entrepreneurial commercialization support (NECS) on the nascent entrepreneurial intention (NEI) by mediating roles of entrepreneurial self-efficacy (NESE), opportunity recognition (OR), and the moderating effect of meaning in life (MLI). Data were gathered using a survey questionnaire from the 868 management, engineering, technical, and vocational institute students of China. The NEI model was analyzed using the partial least squares structural equation modeling through Smart-PLS software. The findings of the study reveal that NEES, NEAS, and NECS have a positive effect on NEI. Meanwhile, results indicate that NESE and OR partially mediate the relationship between entrepreneurship support programs and nascent entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, the relationship between NESE and the NEI was insignificantly influenced by MLI, and the relationship between OR and the NEI was significantly moderated by MLI. Lastly, implications and limitations are also discussed in this article.

“…There is only a small, nascent literature on the antecedents of visionary leadership (rather than the broader charismatic-transformational leadership construct). Traits that have been identified as antecedents of visionary leadership behaviors include leader expressivity (Fiset & Boies, 2019), creativity, and self-confidence (García-Vidal et al, 2019). Moreover, research has shown that leaders with high levels of future-oriented construals in the morning and a strong leadership self-identity are more likely to engage in visionary leadership during the day (Venus et al, 2019a) and that leaders with a strong tendency for self-projection—that is, mentally projecting themselves into alternative scenarios—tend to act more often as visionary leaders (Kim et al, 2023).…”

Scholars have argued that visionary leadership is an effective tool to motivate followers because it provides them with meaning and purpose. However, previous research tells us little about which leaders and under which circumstances leaders engage in visionary leadership. We draw on theories of human and social capital to argue that leader work centrality is an important antecedent of visionary leadership, and especially so for leaders with low organizational tenure. Moreover, we propose that visionary leadership then provides followers with meaningfulness and thereby decreases their turnover intentions. Our predictions were confirmed by data from a two-wave, lagged-design field study with 101 leader-follower dyads. Overall, our research identifies an important antecedent of visionary leadership, a specific situation in which this antecedent is particularly important, and provides empirical evidence for why visionary leadership can bind followers to an organization.
