Entrepreneurial Engagement of Faculty in Higher Educational Institutions: A Review of Literature 2011–2023

Abstract

The article provides a systematic literature review on faculty entrepreneurial engagement from 2011 onwards. Faculty entrepreneurial engagement means faculty participation in all different activities that lead to fulfilling Higher Educational Institution’s all three missions—teaching, research and entrepreneurship. The article consolidated research on the concept of faculty entrepreneurial engagement, its scope, determinants and prominent antecedents. Research results suggest that faculty entrepreneurial engagement has two dimensions—faculty can be academic entrepreneur or entrepreneurial academic—two forms of engagement, formal and informal. Their effective participation is influenced by array of individual, organizational and institutional factors. Faculty participation is often stimulated by entrepreneurial eco-system built and motivation provided by organizations which is the scope of future research.
