Curricular and Extracurricular Entrepreneurial Activities Supporting Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy and Desirability of Rural Youth

Entrepreneurship may be the only viable solution for finding employment in rural areas because of their limited labor markets. However, how curricular and extracurricular entrepreneurial activities can support the entrepreneurial potential of rural youth remains a question. Using a mixed-methods approach, we investigate the impact of curricular and extracurricular entrepreneurial activities on rural adolescents’ entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) and desirability. Our findings show that extracurricular entrepreneurial activities, especially inventive and commercial ones, enhance both ESE and entrepreneurial desirability, but formal curricular entrepreneurial activities do not. Our study highlights how extracurricular entrepreneurial activities can support young people’s perceptions of their entrepreneurial potential while allowing them to explore and exploit local entrepreneurial opportunities. These activities are vital for rural areas to enable rural youth to see opportunities in their local surroundings and consider entrepreneurship as a career option early in life. The implications suggest that rural entrepreneurship education could leverage naturally occurring opportunities for leisure-time entrepreneurial activities in rural areas.

I wish I had a paid job or a business: a moderated effect of entrepreneurial potential on career choice regret

PurposeDespite the merit of extant studies on career decision regrets, they are not well integrated, are developed at different speeds and differ in focus. Specifically, they do not address an important question about the levels and antecedents of regret arising from choosing entrepreneurship instead of paid employment and vice versa. The authors adopted the regret regulation theory as foundation to examining the moderated effect of entrepreneurial potential (EP) on career choice regret (CCR) among employees and entrepreneurs.Design/methodology/approachThe authors surveyed 721 employees and 724 entrepreneurs from a developing country and applied partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypotheses.FindingsEmployees regretted their career choice three times more when compared with entrepreneurs. However, the authors failed to conclude that the latter had three times better living conditions when compared with the former. EP negatively influenced the regret of being an entrepreneur in lieu of an employee while it positively influenced the regret of being an employee in lieu of an entrepreneur. The perceived opportunity cost of being a higher EP employee was three times greater when compared with that of being a lower EP entrepreneur. The effect of EP on CCR was mitigated or amplified by duration in the career, former career status, decision justifiability, and perceived environment's supportiveness.Research limitations/implicationsThe design was cross-sectional, thus, the findings cannot be interpreted in the strict sense of causality.Originality/valueThe authors rely on an important yet often overlooked context of the choice between entrepreneurship and paid employment to test, clarify, and extend the regret regulation theory. The findings have novel human resource management and entrepreneurship policy implications.

How Effective Is Entrepreneurship Education in Schools? An Empirical Study of the New Curriculum in Spain

Unleashing the Entrepreneurial Spirit: Nurturing Elementary Students' Potential for Innovation, Creativity, and Fearless Exploration

This paper advocates for the teaching of entrepreneurship to elementary students, specifically those from 98 percent minority, low socio-economic (Title I schools in the US) by recognizing and harnessing their inherent entrepreneurial spirit. The prevailing notion that entrepreneurship is exclusively reserved for adults disregards the natural inclination of young learners to explore, create, innovate, and fearlessly try new things. By fostering an environment that encourages curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving, educators can tap into the entrepreneurial potential of elementary students. This philosophical position emphasizes the importance of instilling an entrepreneurial mindset in students, promoting a growth mindset, integrating real-world connections, and empowering students to take ownership of their learning. Through age-appropriate activities and authentic experiences, students develop essential entrepreneurial skills and qualities such as critical thinking, adaptability, resilience, and a sense of agency. By embracing this perspective, educators can cultivate a generation of entrepreneurial thinkers and doers who are equipped with the skills, mindset, and creativity necessary for future success in the 21st century. Imagine the following scenario of events that took place in the Rawlings Elementary approach utilized in this paper. A collaboration with the Haitian Center for Inclusive Education founded by Gertrude Bien Aime, in which Rawlings students shared local neighborhood riffs and rhythms they bring into the school each day with neighborhood music of the children in Port au Prince. The 40 students with special needs at the Haiti inclusion school are raised by Gertrude at the Notre Maison Orphanage where she maintains their care and safety regardless of outside conditions. When the Rawlings students met the students and Gertrude the female students in the class requested repeated conversations with Gertrude as a role model but also because of her entrepreneurial ability to face the challenges of gangs, food shortages, and variety of needs the students with disabilities she rescued and raises they engage with. The first comment from my students when the Zoom session ended was “Fundraiser!”. Disregarding their own daily socio economic, educational and potential safety needs in their lives and focusing on the opportunity to assist others. One student had suggesting recording their original music arrangements of their neighborhood music on Spotify. By incorporating authentic experiences, such as connecting with local entrepreneurs, engaging in community projects, and exploring entrepreneurship in various fields, students can grasp the practical applications of entrepreneurial skills. As a result of these shared experiences, the Society for Education, Music and Psychological Research (SEMPRE) with support from Dr. Graham Welch paid for Gertrude to fly to Florida to attend the Florida Council for Exceptional Children Conference to receive added training and entrepreneurial opportunities. Bien Aime received the Florida Council for Exceptional Children’s Landis Stetler Award for service to the field of special education and will be hired and brought to the US this fall as a consultant for the Florida Atlantic University Center for Autism and Related Disabilities. The purpose of this consultancy will be to encourage the parents of children with special needs in the Haitian community there to overcome a perceived stigma in receiving services for their children at the center. The funding also will help her in her efforts to continue to support the students in Haiti. This Rawlings Elementary approach helps students understand how their ideas and actions can make a meaningful impact on their community and the world around them and through journaling, critique discussions and critical thinking on these activities they take steps to improve their reading and writing skills.

What conditions favor high-potential entrepreneurship? Unpacking the nexus between the industrial structure and startup typologies

In this paper, we question the implicit assumption that more entrepreneurship drives more innovation and growth, asserting that specific typologies of entrepreneurship are responsible for these phenomena. A growing number of studies has analyzed this relationship while focusing on the overall level of entrepreneurship. This paper exploits recent advancements in measuring the sophistication and connectedness of economic systems, brought by the notions of economic complexity and relatedness, to study the nexus of industrial structure and high-potential forms of entrepreneurship. The present study uses a panel dataset for Italy for the period 2015–2019. The results show a differentiated pattern among the high-potential startups considered, with relatedness and complexity having a positive effect for innovative startups, a negative one for high-growth startups, and no effect for pioneers. These results inform potential entrepreneurs of the importance of analyzing how external conditions can have distinctive effects on the process of opportunity identification among different typologies of high-potential startups.

Forecasting entrepreneurial motivations and actions: development and validation of the entrepreneurial trigger scale

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to evaluate the insights of founding entrepreneurs to understand what they consider as motivating factors in their decision to act upon entrepreneurial intentions. Using this information, the entrepreneurial trigger event influence was conceptualized, and a scale developed for use in subsequent testable models.Design/methodology/approachQualitative and quantitative techniques were used to construct an instrument that measures the presence and influence of entrepreneurial behavior triggers. The concept of triggering events was explored with 14 founding entrepreneurs. Themes emerged from this enquiry process which informed the development of four primary entrepreneurial triggering events. Over 600 entrepreneurs participated in the study. Exploratory factor analysis was used to identify dimensions of entrepreneurial triggers and was tested using confirmatory factor analysis.FindingsEntrepreneurs perceive that personal fulfillment and job dissatisfaction serve as two significant trigger events which will lead individuals to engage in entrepreneurial behaviors. This research supports theorizing that suggests entrepreneurial trigger events have influence in motivating individuals to act upon entrepreneurial intentions and some trigger events may have more influence toward behavior than others.Research limitations/implicationsThis research is subject to multiple limitations. Trigger events were limited to those identified in literature and the interviews. Most entrepreneurs participating in this study were from a limited geographic region. The entrepreneurs in this study reported their triggering event based on their memory which could have been affected by inaccurate recall or memory bias. No attempt has been made to model the comparative effects of the different variables on entrepreneurial outcomes. Finally, the entrepreneurial trigger event instrument did not measure the participant's demographics or psychographics which could have played a role in the influence of reported trigger event.Practical implicationsThis study extends previous research that trigger events serve as catalysts for entrepreneurial behavior. Findings support the premise that different types of triggers have different levels of influence as antecedents of entrepreneurial behavior. Specifically, positive, negative, internal and external entrepreneurial triggering events were explicated. The Entrepreneurial Trigger Event Scale created to facilitate this study enables researchers to explore the effects of types and perceived influences of precipitating trigger events on the intentions of the individual that result in entrepreneurial behavior. The optimized instrument further expanded Shapero's (1975) proposed theory of the origins of entrepreneurial behavior.Social implicationsThe development of a scale provides researchers with the opportunity to include the influence of entrepreneurial trigger events, as perceived by entrepreneurs, in future testable models. Entrepreneurial development organizations can use the knowledge to assist in understanding when potential entrepreneurs may act upon entrepreneurial intentions. Information gained can have significant implications for understanding the initiation of entrepreneurial behavior, entity establishment and business growth.Originality/valueThis research responds to a call for investigation into the influence of entrepreneurial trigger events on a person's decision to act upon entrepreneurial intentions. It is an early attempt to conceptualize a relevant construct of entrepreneurial trigger event influence and to develop a scale for use in empirical testing. It is distinguished by using planned behaviors, push and pull, motivation and drive reduction theories. These theories are applied to the perceptions of successful entrepreneurs to develop a construct and validate it.

CENTERS OF AUTHENTIC PRODUCTS OF VOLYN REGION AS A SECTOR OF CREATIVE INDUSTRIES

The article examined the definitions of the term "folk art industries" according to the legislation of Ukraine. Folk art works in Ukraine are an integral part of Ukrainian culture, they have taken into themselves the features inherent in separate ethnographic regions of the country and are a specific component of historical and cultural recreational resources, one of the most interesting in the people's creativity. The focus of attention is directed on authentic products of Volyn, which forms a brand of Ukrainian industries. The samples of intangible cultural heritage occupy a separate niche in the system of historical and cultural tourist resources – folk art industries, which allow to study traditions and hue of Volhynians, to make an idea about the peculiarities of life of the region. The UN data show that the global market of creative industries has doubled in the last ten years.
 The modern structure of folk art works of Volyn has been defined, the main kinds and centers of folk art, which are found in the territory of Volyn region, are outlined by a brief characteristic of each of them. The entrepreneurial potential of the art folk industries centers as a sector of creative industries has been discovered. The peculiarities of the spatial location of the centers of artistic folk industries on the territory of the region are analyzed in terms of administrative districts and territorial communities. Study of peculiarities and regularities of accommodation of centers of artistic folk crafts will allow to expand the range of available tourist routes, to create a proper tourist infrastructure near these centers. The analysis of the supply ratio of this type of tourist-recreational resources as a basis for development of cognitive tourism was carried out. The proposed measures will allow to increase the role of these objects in the system of recognizable tourist routes, which in turn will allow to increase the number of tourists in Volyn, and thus to improve the financial condition and create a positive image of the region.
 On the basis of the conducted research, it is worth creating training centers where anyone who wants to could learn the art of creating artistic folk crafts. It is necessary to consider the possibility of creating a network of specialized trade establishments that would specialize in the sale of souvenir products, the formation of orders for certain individual types of crafts or individual products, exclusive items, would contribute to the popularization of folk and applied arts, contain a base of masters of folk arts and crafts, conduct master classes, aimed at studying certain techniques of creating these products.
 A very important component is the information and advertising policy in this field, which would be aimed at popularizing the cognitive aspect of the functioning of centers of artistic folk crafts. At the same time, in order to form a positive image of the region, it is necessary to inform the population and potential tourists with the help of cartographic material (in particular, interactive), printed products (booklets, flyers), mass media about these objects and locations.
 The development of folk arts and crafts centers within the Volyn region is one of the most promising areas of the redevelopment of the territory, can create preconditions for the improvement of the environment design, increase the level of attractiveness of the territories for living, promote the accumulation of human potential.
 Key words: folk arts, authentic products, cognitive tourism, creative industries, Volyn region
