“…Motivation and perseverance were also commonly ranked as highly important despite the obvious differences in the economic and historical background of the markets. The reflection is aligned with the acknowledgement of entrepreneurial passions outcomes and its importance in driving many entrepreneurial endeavors [74][75][76][77][78]. At the same time efforts for training and supporting such competences as valuing ideas, coping with uncertainty, ambiguity and risk, as well as working with others might be smaller.…”

Authors in previous studies pointed out that the professional competences of managers overlap with the competences and skills that are attributed to entrepreneurs. The goal of this study is to analyze the correlation between the actual market demand for competences to develop new businesses and the competence of training and development by higher education institutions (HEIs) and business supporting institutions (BSIs). The research question is “Are the entrepreneurial competences demanded by the domestic markets in Finland, Latvia and The Netherlands aligned with the entrepreneurship educational and business supporting policies?” As a research methodology, we chose focus groups and semi-structured interviews conducted for start-up entrepreneurs, HEIs, and BSIs as methods for data gathering. An importance–performance analysis (IPA) was applied as the method for data analysis. As the main research results, the authors identified that ethical and sustainable thinking as well financial and economic literacy were considered to be the least important competences, while motivation and perseverance were commonly ranked as highly important by entrepreneurs in all the countries studied. Entrepreneurship education policy in The Netherlands is fully harmonized with market demand. Entrepreneurship development activities in Finland also meet the market’s needs, however HEIs and BSIs could develop self-awareness and self-efficacy as well as cope with uncertainty, ambiguity and risk competences. The major disagreement was detected between entrepreneurs’ expectations and entrepreneurship education activities conducted by HEIs and BSIs in Latvia. This research implication fills the gap in knowledge about the entrepreneurial competences developed by HEIs and BSIs and were demanded (considered as important) by the market in the researched countries. Further, we developed the entrepreneurship training methodology for transdisciplinary students to enhance entrepreneurial competence dissemination and development across education programs and beyond.

“…Firstly, the research model places three variables e.g., emotional support, perceived competence, and entrepreneurship education on shaping entrepreneurial passion among entrepreneurs. This effect is proven by Stenholm and Nielsen that the perceived emotional support is positively associated with entrepreneurial passion [5]. By considering these results, the construct of the perceived emotional support is used as a predictor in this study.…”

In line with entrepreneurial learning, the study identified a significant effect of emotional support, perceived competence, and entrepreneurship education toward entrepreneurial passion among entrepreneurship in Jakarta. A total of 100 respondents were involved in this study using non-probability techniques sampling. The data analysis technique used multiple regression with Smart-Pls software. The results show emotional support has the strongest influence in building passion, on the contrary, perceived competence has the smallest effect on passion. In line with Social Learning Theory, the independent variables can increase selfefficacy in entrepreneurs so that they are more enthusiastic for creating and product development, founding and developing the venture. The majority of the samples are new entrepreneurs who are in early development and start-up stages so that educational institutions and the government have the responsibility in building an entrepreneurial atmosphere so that it will automatically build an entrepreneurial passion for the younger generation. This mechanism can encourage passion awareness for youth entrepreneurs so this is a step in achieving the target of the ideal number of educated entrepreneurs in Indonesia.

“…Social distancing because of a lack of colleagues or working on different time zones, causing the loss of direct contacts, can be considered among the special demands of platform work. Stenholm and Nielsen (2019) argue that EP is supported by individual competencies. Academics are increasingly interested in discovering the ways in which employees influence or shape their work conditions in contexts where these conditions are based on employees' individual abilities and are aligned with individual preferences (Bakker et al, 2016).…”

PurposeIn response to the increasing interest in entrepreneurs' well-being in both the entrepreneurship and management research fields, this study builds and tests a research model on the role of entrepreneurial passion for inventing in work engagement in the context of modern knowledge work. The research argument is built on the job demands–resources model, the most commonly used frame for measuring employee well-being in work and organization psychology. The research setting in this study compares digital entrepreneurs and freelancers with traditional knowledge workers and part-time platform workers in terms of passion and engagement.Design/methodology/approachUsing a quantitative research design, the authors collected data from 349 highly specialized knowledge workers through anonymous questionnaires. The research hypotheses were tested with linear and logit models.FindingsThe results show that entrepreneurial passion is positively related to increased job demands and work engagement and that job demands can have a positive effect on work engagement in highly complex knowledge work.Originality/valueThe study contributes to the entrepreneurship literature by expanding the analysis of entrepreneurial passion outside the entrepreneurship context and into work engagement theory by adding passion for inventing as an important motivational factor in modern knowledge work. Extant literature on the consequences of work digitalization is still scarce, and this study provides insights into successful working on digital platforms.
