The Impact of Social Support on Entrepreneurial Well-being: The Role of Entrepreneurial Passion and Entrepreneurial Efficacy

Drawing upon social cognition theory and social support theory, this study investigates the impact of social support on entrepreneurial well-being. Using a valid sample of 228 entrepreneur respondents who are supported by Youth Business China (YBC), this study provides compelling evidence regarding the following key findings: Firstly, family support has a significantly positive impact on entrepreneurs’ entrepreneurial well-being. Partner support significantly and positively affects entrepreneurs’ subjective well-being, although it does not significantly impact objective well-being. The positive impact of social support from institutions on entrepreneurial well-being is not significant. Secondly, partner support and institutional support have significant positive impacts on entrepreneurial passion. However, family support does not exhibit a significant positive effect on positive emotions. Instead, it significantly contributes to entrepreneurial identity. Thirdly, entrepreneurial passion demonstrates a significantly positive impact on entrepreneurial well-being. Fourthly, entrepreneurship passion plays a mediating role between social support and entrepreneurial well-being. Finally, entrepreneurial efficacy positively moderates the relationship between social support and entrepreneurial passion. The study culminates with practical implications for entrepreneurs and policymakers in entrepreneurial practices.

Translation of CEO’s Objectivism into Social Responsibility: The Role of Entrepreneurial Passion

Enterprising individuals are often portrayed as rational actors who maximize their self-interests through business venturing. At the same time, a growing number of SMEs employ social responsibility and sustainability strategies, incorporating collective interests into their business agenda. Drawing on the entrepreneurial identity literature, objectivism (rational egoism) philosophical perspective, and the concept of entrepreneurial passion, this study sets out to analyze the interplay between rational and emotional aspects of CEO’s personal identity and address its implications for socially responsible behavior of his/her business. The research hypotheses are tested based on a sample of 333 Russian SMEs. The results suggest that CEOs whose personal identities are rooted in objectivism values, are less likely to develop social responsibility within their firms. At the same time, CEO’s entrepreneurial passion offsets the negative effect of objectivism on social responsiveness of the venture. Implications are discussed.

The promise of entrepreneurial passion to advance social entrepreneurship research

This article aims to advance the theoretical debate on the role of entrepreneurial passion and paradoxical entrepreneurial interests––two influential concepts of entrepreneurship that have received little empirical validation so far––in predicting social entrepreneurial intention. Drawing on the literature on entrepreneurial passion and pecuniary vs. non-pecuniary interests in entrepreneurship, in particular the tension between money ethics, meaning in life, and public service motivation, we collected survey data from young people who were at the career choice contemplation stage (N = 1021) to test a model of social entrepreneurial intention. Structural equation modeling and mediation analyses supported the tested model. This article contributes to the literature by demonstrating the centrality of entrepreneurial passion in predicting social entrepreneurial intention and the complex role of pecuniary and non-pecuniary interests in the relationships.

From entrepreneurial passion to entrepreneurial intentions: The role of entrepreneurial passion, innovativeness, and curiosity in driving entrepreneurial intentions

Previous studies have shown that entrepreneurial passion has a positive relationship with entrepreneurial intentions, however we do not know much about the underlying mechanisms that might mediate or moderate this relationship. This study extends the existing literature by examining the mediating role of innovativeness and the moderating role of curiosity in the entrepreneurial passion to entrepreneurial intentions relationship. Results, based on analysis of data collected from 295 respondents, showed that innovativeness partially mediated the entrepreneurial passion to entrepreneurial intentions relationship. Further, the mediating effect was stronger for individuals who scored high on curiosity than for individuals who scored low on curiosity. The present study contributes to a better understanding of the how, and the when of how, of the entrepreneurial passion to entrepreneurial intentions relationship.

The role of entrepreneurial passion in the formation of students’ entrepreneurial intentions

ABSTRACTEntrepreneurial passion has been suggested as an entrepreneur’s central characteristic, theorized to affect a host of entrepreneurial behaviours. Considering the theory of planned behaviour (TPB), a conceptual model was developed and tested which integrated both cognitive (namely, subjective norms, attitudes toward perceived behavioural control and entrepreneurship) and emotional (namely, entrepreneurial passion) factors to determine their contributions to entrepreneurial intentions. This is a quantitative study using a self-report survey for data collection. The hypotheses were examined with 250 university students sample applying the partial least squares method. The results indicate a significant indirect relationship between entrepreneurial passion and entrepreneurial intentions via their cognitive antecedents (attitudes toward entrepreneurship and perceived behavioural control). The study contributes to the emerging research of entrepreneurial passion in the entrepreneurship field and heightens its role as a factor that should be taken into account to improve entrepreneurship education programs.
