TL;DR: The authors build on boundary theory and the psychology of religion to develop a sketch of the role of religion in entrepreneurial action, including its antecedents and outcomes, and suggest a number of theoretical perspectives (identity, sense-making, and boundary) and research questions that may further advance research on religion and entrepreneurship.

TL;DR: This paper explores how advancing AI systems provide novel solutions for resolving the fundamental challenges of modal uncertainty in entrepreneurial decision environments and in doing so, AI algorithms create new possibilities for future forms of entrepreneurial action.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors study mission drift in social enterprises by examining whether these organizations stick to the actual mission enshrined in their mission statements and find strong coherence between social missions and actual practices.

TL;DR: In this paper, Zhao et al. conducted a quasi replication and extension of the ZSH results using a sample of adults in the U.S. They found considerable heterogeneity in effect sizes across certain sample subgroups.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explore the longitudinal relationship between self-efficacy and persistence for hybrid entrepreneurs and find evidence that entrepreneurial selfefficacy predicts entrepreneurial persistence change over time, and model how changes in ESE over time affect changes in entrepreneurial persistence.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose and offer practical guidance on the use of Multimethod Insider Action Research (MIAR) as a suitable research design for studying the entrepreneurial journey in this context.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply concepts from the Effort-Reward Imbalance model to work characteristics typical to self-employment, and explore the association between these work conditions and work stress.

TL;DR: In this article, an inductive study was conducted of a once-vibrant EE that became dormant because of an undiversified industrial base and a precipitous decline in its regional economy.

TL;DR: This paper found that the intergenerational transmission of entrepreneurial intentions is dependent on the socialization intensity of the parents, and that the opportunity to share experiences with the children influences children's forming of entrepreneurial attitudes especially within same-sex parent-child dyads.

TL;DR: The authors investigated how potential backers' perception of user entrepreneur characteristics influenced the success of a crowdfunding campaign and found that the accentuation of user entrepreneurs characteristics is associated with higher crowdfunding success, i.e. with the chance to reach a campaign goal successfully.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore a counterweight to the dominant "superhero" personality perspective by arguing that highly sensitive persons (HSPs) can attend to their own needs and skills, and turn their weaknesses into strengths.
