Title: Understanding the journey: challenges, opportunities, and pathways for refugee entrepreneurship
Abstract:
Entrepreneurship has the potential to aid refugees in integrating into the host country and adapting to mainstream life. The purpose of this study was to explore the entrepreneurship journey of refugees and its impact on their integration process in the USA. Findings of the study derived from semi-structured, individual interviews conducted with entrepreneurs from refugee backgrounds. The emergent overarching themes indicated that despite encountering language, culture, regulatory, and system-related barriers, as well as limited access to business funds and mainstream business resources, the entrepreneurship experiences of refugees gave them a sense of autonomy, freedom, and hope for a brighter future.

Title: Understanding agripreneurial intention and behaviour using the theory of planned behaviour: a meta-analytic review
Abstract:
This research endeavour undertakes the synthesis of the current literature on agripreneurial intention by examining the applicability of the theory of planned behaviour. Zero-order correlations reported in the findings of 33 studies (<i>n</i> = 12,132) were subjected to a random-effects meta-analysis, and associations between the factors comprising the theory of planned behaviour were analysed using bivariate analysis and meta-analytic structural equation modelling, which was based on a pooled correlation matrix. The results indicate that agripreneurial intention is positively linked to attitudes towards entrepreneurship and perceived behavioural control, while there is no statistically significant relationship between subjective norms and agripreneurial intention. Furthermore, agripreneurial behaviour is positively related to both agripreneurial intention and perceived behavioural control. A moderation analysis was conducted to investigate inconsistent findings, which suggests that gender dominance may explain some inconsistencies. Practically, the study provides guidelines for academics, education institutions, governments, and policymakers involved in promoting entrepreneurship in agribusiness.

Title: From traits to intentions: examining the role of personality, innovation, creativity, entrepreneurship and leadership among students
Abstract:
This study investigates the connection between the big five personality model (BFPM) attributes and entrepreneurial intentions (EPI) among higher education students in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. Additionally, it explores the mediating roles of innovation and creativity, as well as the moderating effect of leadership capabilities. Data were collected from students at various higher education institutions and incubation centres, and analysed using stepwise regression in line with Baron and Kenny's procedures. Results reveal that openness to experience, extraversion, and agreeableness significantly correlate with students' EPI. Conversely, neuroticism and openness to experience relate significantly to creativity and innovative behaviour. Moreover, creativity and innovation mediate the relationship between BFPM and EPI. Interestingly, leadership abilities show a partial moderating effect. This research uniquely contributes to understanding EPI in a developing country context and highlights the importance of fostering innovative thinking and entrepreneurial leadership among students, offering valuable insights for educational policymakers.

Title: Socio-demographic influences on environmental entrepreneurship: a systematic review
Abstract:
Environmental entrepreneurship can play a key role in facilitating sustainable development. To achieve this potential of environmental entrepreneurship, it is crucial to gain knowledge about the characteristics of individuals pursuing environmentally oriented entrepreneurial activity. Therefore, this study systematically reviews the literature on the influence of socio-demographic variables on environmentally oriented entrepreneurial activity. Inter alia, the paper identifies that environmental entrepreneurs are usually highly educated. Furthermore, the authors show that gender bias in conventional entrepreneurship is reversed in environmental entrepreneurship, as most of the reviewed studies found females to be more active in environmental entrepreneurship than males. Based on these findings, the authors advise entrepreneurship education, as well as political interventions, to concentrate on the identified target groups and highlight the importance of including socio-demographic variables in a potential theory of environmental entrepreneurship.

Title: Should I stay or leave? The role of human, financial and social capital in entrepreneurial exit
Abstract:
Understanding the reasons of entrepreneurial exit remains one of the critical problems in entrepreneurship research. This study investigates the relationship between entrepreneurial capitals (human, social and financial) and probability of business discontinuation due to voluntary or failure-based reasons, accounting for the moderating role of opportunity recognition. We test our hypotheses based on 2019 GEM APS data covering 28,192 respondents from 48 countries. The results revealed that different elements of entrepreneurial capital lead to a higher probability of both voluntary and failure-based exit as compared to non-exit. Moreover, the positive perception of business opportunities strengthens the link between financial capital availability and the likelihood of entrepreneurial exit. The findings show the important role of all types of entrepreneurial capital in perceiving higher opportunity costs of continuing current business rather than closing it as well as context-specific nature of the exit decision. Implications are discussed.
