“…Despite the empirical validation of these proposals that have deepened our understanding of entrepreneurial initiatives, there is still only limited evidence on the aspects that precede and stimulate entrepreneurial intentions [39][40][41][42]. As Lanero et al [36] and Liñan and Chen [26] point out, the reasons for the lack of research on entrepreneurial intentions may be due to the researchers' different conceptual approaches toward entrepreneurial intention, in particular with regard to the variables that regulate and act as antecedents to such an intention [43][44][45].…”

Despite the abundant scientific literature on entrepreneurship, there is still only limited information on young students’ entrepreneurial intentions. The reasons for this, may be generally found in the different conceptual approaches to entrepreneurial intention, and particularly in the variables that regulate and act as antecedents to such intentions. This bias has generated different lines of investigation into the factors relating to entrepreneurial intention among students. One line of investigation is centered on the variables that influence entrepreneurial intention, in particular, relational, educational, and psychological variables, and another is centered on the antecedents of entrepreneurial intention, amongst which is entrepreneurial interest. In this paper, we seek to analyze the relationship between the entrepreneurial interest of Spanish youth and a set of socio-educational, psychological, and health-related variables using principal component analysis. A previously validated ad hoc questionnaire was administered to 1764 students (15–18 years old). Notably, few Spanish youth expressed significantly high entrepreneurial interest; those who did were mostly men with a family tradition of entrepreneurial parents, who held high perceptions of their health and quality of life, and considered it important in business to detect opportunities beforehand and to create employment. Their principal motives were to improve their professional development, to put their ideas into practice, and to achieve economic independence. This paper proposes the early detection of entrepreneurial interests in young people in order to reinforce these interests as potential long-term initiatives.

“…Even dark personality traits such as narcissism and aggressiveness are needed in certain situations to help overcome difficulties such as raising funds during start-up period (Miller, 2015). Therefore, the role of the dark triad (DT) -which is the combination of the personality traits of Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and narcissism (Paulhus and Williams, 2002)-is valuable in the field of social entrepreneurship research (Do and Dadvari, 2017).…”

Past research about social entrepreneurial intention has centered on the impact of bright personalities; however, dark personalities such as the dark triad are also considered to have advantages. This study explored the relationship between the dark triad and social entrepreneurial intention by focusing on the mediating role of moral disengagement and the moderating role of empathic concern and perspective taking. Based on a sample of 491 undergraduates and 412 students in a master in business administration program in China, the dark triad was found to be negatively related to social entrepreneurial intention through moral disengagement. Moreover, high levels of empathic concern and perspective taking weakened the direct effect of the dark triad on moral disengagement, as well as the indirect effect of the dark triad on social entrepreneurial intention. Our study extends the research in the field of personality and entrepreneurship. Given the findings on the role of moral disengagement, empathic concern, and perspective taking, education efforts may assist in decreasing the negative effects of the dark triad on social entrepreneurial intention.

“…Several previous studies have revealed the entrepreneurial attitudes [8][9][10]. According to Do and Dadvari [10] and Robinson et al [2], the entrepreneurial attitudes can be measured by using four subscales, including achievement, selfesteem, personal control and innovation, and this measurement has three components, including affective, cognitive and conation. Staniewski and Awruk assert that there are 17 motivational factors of entrepreneurship which are related to entrepreneurial attitudes [8].…”
