Risk Propensity, Self-Regulation, and Entrepreneurial Intention: Empirical Evidence from China

Drawing on a self-regulation perspective, we develop and test a theoretical model linking risk propensity to entrepreneurial intention through the mechanisms of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and regulatory focus.

description Drawing on a self-regulation perspective, we develop and test a theoretical model linking risk propensity to entrepreneurial intention through the mechanisms of entrepreneurial self-efficacy and regulatory focus. Using survey data collected from a sample of 210 employees and managers in China, the results indicated that entrepreneurial self-efficacy and promotion focus (but not prevention focus) are positively associated with entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, these two self-regulatory mechanisms partially mediate the relationship between risk propensity and entrepreneurial intention. Implications for entrepreneurship research and practice are offered.
