“…Various studies show cultural values for the entrepreneurial intentions (Rantanen & Toikko, 2013;Siu & Lo, 2013). Shneor et al (2013), identify the educational environment in training of entrepreneurial intention. To reinforce this educational element, Ozgul & Kunday (2015), create a concept that called "academic entrepreneur", whose entrepreneur is the university student who investigates and later creates his /her enterprise.…”

The significant importance of entrepreneurship for the economic development, job creation and innovation have increased the concerns of researchers and decision makers at different levels for the understanding and investigation of the factors that could have an impact on the level of entrepreneurial activity. In fact, differences in entrepreneurial activity and entrepreneurship are substantial, persistent and distinct from their background in different nations and / or regions, especially in Europe. Theoretical studies and empirical studies confirm that the entrepreneurial activities of individuals are the main drivers of the development of entrepreneurship, namely in terms of economic growth, mainly through the contribution to the creation of new jobs, the development of competitiveness and innovations at the enterprise.For this purpose, we used two Global Databases Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) of the year 2015, which were duly adapted and thus created the database for the analysis of this study, having as justification performed literature review considered the variables necessary for this purpose.Results reveal that the key determinants of the entrepreneurial intention in the European countries are: "perceived capacity" by the individual; the "entrepreneurial intention" itself which will, in fact, influence the "rate of nascent entrepreneurship"; the "governmental and political factors" in relation to the respective "financing for the entrepreneur", and the "basic education and training" in entrepreneurship which influence "research & development".

“…Extant studies into perceived self-efficacy in the entrepreneurship domain have largely focussed on either or both of two areas: first, factors that influence self-efficacy, such as counterfactual thinking (Arora, Haynie and Laurence, 2013), elements of strategic decision making processes (Forbes, 2005), business planning activities (McCann and Vroom, 2015), entrepreneurship education (Sánchez, 2013;Zhao, Seibert and Hills, 2005), pull entrepreneurship (Dalborg and Wincent, 2015), gender (Wilson, Kickul and Marlino, 2007), and national culture (Shneor, Camgöz and Karapinar, 2013). The second area focuses upon effects of selfefficacy; for example: the influence self-efficacy may have upon an individual's intention to become an entrepreneur (Bacq, Ofstein, Kickul and Gundry, 2016;Lanero, Vázquez and Aza, 2015), entrepreneurial orientation (Poon, Ainuddin and Haji Junit, 2006), and entrepreneurial passion (Dalborg and Wincent, 2015).…”

This article combines two popular, yet separate concepts: dynamic capabilities and self-efficacy. Both are concerned with ability/capability and offer potentially valuable synergies. As such, our in-depth qualitative study based in three micro-enterprises in the United Kingdom investigates, ‘what role(s) may owner-manager perceived self-efficacy play as a micro-foundation of dynamic capabilities in micro-enterprises?’ Our findings show that perceived self-efficacy can influence dynamic capability enactment in multifaceted ways and even suggest that in some cases, perceived self-efficacy is a crucial component of dynamic capabilities, without which there may be no such capability. These insights help open up the black box of dynamic capabilities by contributing important knowledge to the growing body of research into the micro-foundations of such capabilities. Furthermore, our study illuminates the importance of idiosyncratic micro-foundations of dynamic capabilities in micro-enterprises and expands extant knowledge of the potential effects of self-efficacy in the small business and entrepreneurship domain.

“…Culturally, Zambia has a collectivist culture with high uncertainty avoidance and low masculinity [19] [20]. It would be insightful to explore how determinants of start-up intention play out in such a context [21]. In the literature, entrepreneurial intention (EI) has emerged as a critical factor in determining who is more likely to start up a business.…”

The current paper contributes to the entrepreneurial intention (EI) literature by applying the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) in a developing African country with unique socio-economic and cultural context. Thus it examines the influence of social norms, personal attitudes and perceived behavioural control on business start-up intentions. Based on a quantitative approach, primary survey data were collected from 306 final year undergraduate students at a public university. The data were analyzed using correlation and hierarchical regression techniques. Controlling for age, gender and field of study, the findings indicate that each of the attitudinal antecedents is significantly positively related to EI, with an overall R 2 = 0.543. For scholars, enterprise support practitioners and policy makers, the study shows that the TPB can be used to understand how to promote business start-up in developing countries with socio-economic and cultural contexts which are mostly different from developed countries where the subject is heavily researched. Specifically, mechanisms to develop entrepreneurial capabilities among citizens, improve societal norms and individual attitudes toward entrepreneurship would significantly promote entrepreneurship. The study also makes a valuable contribution to the under-researched context of Zambia and African entrepreneurship.
