Human resource theories of becoming entrepreneurs or self-employed rather than finding employment are compared as applied to fit the occupational data of technological entrepreneurs and technology jobs. The human capital theory posits that technological entrepreneurs are prepared to become a jack-of-all-trades with a variety of fields of education. Hobo theory of entrepreneurship assumes that entrepreneurs have strong taste against concentrating on a few activities, which tend to drive entrepreneurs away from employed jobs depressing their expected income. Another theory assumes that entrepreneurs have some unobserved productive qualities and abilities over employed people. Immigrant entrepreneurs could presumably be pressured out of employment under racial discrimination. Since technology jobs are mostly filled by those educated in the science and technology fields, and they presumably offer great reward to professional concentration, technological entrepreneurs may not benefit from becoming jacks-of-all-trades compared to finding employment in technological jobs income-wise. Asian immigrants in the 2000 US Census data are compared to white immigrants in technological jobs to test alternative human resource theories of entrepreneurship. Using English language ability as a proxy for the variety of education, I find in the white immigrant technological entrepreneurs support for the jack-of-all-trades theory, while in the Asian immigrant technological entrepreneurs hobo theory is supported. In the Asian technological workers only there appears the significant self-selection or comparative advantage component, while at the same time discriminatory components are significant.

Purpose - This study aims to exploratorily analyze relationship among pressure on business failure, social safety net perception, and entrepreneurial intention targeting potential business founders - pre-entrepreneurs and re-entrepreneurs. Research design, data, and methodology - Out of 450 collected surveys, 386 were used for analysis. Among these, 216 were from pre-entrepreneurs and 170 were from re-entrepreneurs. Frequency analysis, reliability and validity analysis, and regression analysis were performed. Results - In analysis of pre-entrepreneur and re-entrepreneur's pressure on business failure and social safety net perception, objective environment perception - a subfactor of social safety net perception - had statistically significant difference between the two potential entrepreneur groups. Conclusions - We categorized potential entrepreneurs into pre-entrepreneurs and re-entrepreneurs. Also, the current study suggests importance of social safety net to vitalize food service business startup by validifying its mediating effect between pressure on business failure and attitude towards restaurant business establishment. This research also established groundwork for future studies on ways to improve entrepreneurial intention or startup business sustainability by deducing social safety net perception difference between pre-entrepreneurs and re-entrepreneurs. This study was able to analyze relationship between those two groups in terms of entrepreneurial intention and startup business sustainability.

This study aims to interpret the meaning of a successful entrepreneur from the perspective of women entrepreneurs in Malang, Indonesia. This research offers a phenomenological approach using purposive sampling. Data was collected by in-depth interviews using structured questionnaire with registered women entrepreneurs in Malang obtained from MSMEs (micro small and medium-sized enterprises) entrepreneurs. The 'continually developing' is one of the meanings of a successful entrepreneur. This study also found that success is when what women do can be useful to others. Besides, the meaning of success has two criteria, i.e., when they can meet their needs (individual satisfaction) and social performance as a goal to be achieved by entrepreneurs. The motivation of women entrepreneurs to establish their venture was not only financial returns, but also personal satisfaction, which was also the indicator of entrepreneurial success for women. This study has several limitations. First, our sample size is too small and consists of entrepreneurs that have an average age above 40 years. Hopefully, further research will be able to generalize our findings to a broader sample in various industries outside the city of Malang. As our research shows, the criteria and meaning of success may be different for a larger sample of entrepreneurs.

This study aims to examine the impact of accessing industrial factors in enhancing business performance with special reference to Muslim women entrepreneurs in Sri Lanka. Industrial factors are industrial resources available to Muslim women entrepreneurs in Sri Lanka and it was measured using the dimensions of resource accessibility and government and non-governmental support. A structured questionnaire was used to collect data from 260 women entrepreneurs from the Muslim community who are registered with the chamber of commerce in the three districts of the Eastern province of Sri Lanka, using a simple random sampling technique. Structural Equation Modeling with AMOS was used as the data analysis technique. The structural model showed that resource accessibility had a significant and positive relationship with business performance, whereas government and non-governmental support did not significantly influence business performance. Especially, Muslim women entrepreneurs in Sri Lanka do not show interest in getting support such as finance, training, and other necessities from government and non-government organizations as well as business development support agencies. Trade chambers and decision-making authorities may use this finding to gain insights and develop strategies to enhance the business performance of women entrepreneurs.

Due to its nature, business foundation accompanies high levels of risk taking and responsibility. For this reason, entrepreneurs come to experience various negative emotions in the process of business foundation such as anxiety about risks, fear of failure, and pressure of success. However, entrepreneurs' negative emotions reduce individual inclinations for business foundation. Thus, it is necessary to research individual psychological characteristics that could reduce and attenuate entrepreneurs' negative emotions. To this end, this study examined the effects of Self-forgiveness, and Narcissism, psychological motivation variables, and Positive psychological capital and Career ambition, goal motivation variables, on entrepreneurial intentions. In order to verify research hypotheses, 326 questionnaires collected from prep-entrepreneurs were used for the empirical analysis. Looking at the analysis results, Self-forgiveness, Narcissism, Positive psychological capital and Career ambition had significant effects on entrepreneurial intentions. This study has a meaning in that it confirmed the influential relationship between the psychological characteristics reducing entrepreneurs' negative emotions and entrepreneurial intentions.

본 연구에서는 ICT(Information and Communications Technologies) 분야의 창업초기 벤처기업 300개에 대한 설문조사를 통해 국내 벤처생태계에서 연쇄창업의 현황, 행태, 성과에 대하여 분석하였다. 연구결과, 국내 연쇄창업의 비율은 약 18.7%였으며, 창업활동년수는 평균 약 8년, 연쇄창업가 중 약 80%는 같은 업종에서 재창업하였다. 연쇄창업은 신진창업보다 여러 명이 공동으로 팀을 이루어 창업하는 비중이 높고, 더 큰 규모로 시장에 진입하며, 대량생산으로 시장점유율을 높이는 경영전략을 더 중시하는 것으로 나타났다. 협력 상대로 공급 업체, 수요업체의 비중이 신진창업보다 높았으며, 정부와의 협력 비중은 낮았는데 정부로부터 자금지원을 받기보다 판로와 마케팅에 대한 지원을 받는 비율이 신진창업보다 높게 나타났다. 설립 첫해 당기순이익으로 재무적 성과를 회귀분석한 결과, 연쇄창업시에 공동창업하는 경우 재무적 성과가 상승하였으며, 업종을 변경하는 경우에는 성과가 하락하였다.

이 논문은 혁신성, 진취성, 위험감수성으로 대표되는 기업가정신이 일반인에 비해 투철한 기업가들의 인지편향이 사회적 네트워크에 따라 사업 기회 평가에 미치는 영향을 조사한 것이다. 끊임없이 요구되는 기업활동과 관련한 의사결정 시 기업가들은 자신의 지식과 경험 및 외부 전문가들의 조언을 참고하여 합리적인 판단을 하는 것이 일반적이나, 극심한 스트레스 상황 및 신속한 의사결정이 필요한 상황에서는 자신의 인지편향에 따라 휴리스틱(간편 추론법)에 종종 의존하게 된다. 특히, 기업의 성장과 영속성을 담보하기 위해 계획 중인 신사업 기회를 평가하고 선택하는 과정에서도 휴리스틱에 의한 의사결정을 한 나머지 실패하게 되는 사례를 우리는 많이 접하게 된다. 이 연구는 거듭된 성공 경험으로 형성된 기업가의 인지편향이 때로는 사업의 실패라는 부작용을 초래할 수 있다는 점에 착안하여, 기업가의 인지편향이 신사업 기회 평가에 미치는 영향을 규명하는 연구가 필요하다는 요구에서 진행하게 되었다. 그동안 대학생이나 창업을 희망하는 일반인을 대상으로 그들의 인지편향이 창업 및 기회 평가에 미치는 영향에 관한 논문은 다수 있지만, 기업가만을 대상으로 하여 사회적 네트워크와의 관계를 규명한 연구는 부족하다는 문제점이 있었다. 이 연구는 선행연구와는 달리 기업가들만을 대상으로 실증적인 조사를 시행하였으며, 사회적 네트워크와의 관계에 관한 연구도 함께 진행하였다. 연구를 위하여 중소/중견기업 기업가 150명을 대상으로 온라인 모바일 조사와 응답자의 자기기입식 설문지를 이용한 병행 조사 방법으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 독립변수인 기업가의 인지편향 중 과잉자신감과 통제 착각이 사업 기회 평가에 통계적으로 유의한 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 조절 변수인 사회적 네트워크는 과잉자신감이 사업 기회 평가에 미치는 영향을 조절한다는 것이 확인되었다. 이 연구는 기업가들이 인지편향을 긍정적으로 활용할 수 있는 방법과 사회적 네트워크의 영향력을 알려줌으로써, 기업가들이 신사업 기회를 평가하고 선택하는 과정에서 인지편향이 어떠한 역할을 하는지와 기업가의 인지편향이 신사업 기회 평가와 관련한 구조적 관계를 사회적 네트워크가 조절하는 역할을 한다는 것을 보여주었고, 기업가들뿐만 아니라 기업가 교육 및 정책 결정에도 큰 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.
