dc.description.abstract |
The correlation between facets of national culture and startup activities has
received confirmation in empirical research while many mechanisms behind the
correlation remain unclear. We study the interplay between the individualism-collectivism
orientation of national culture, the incidence of entrepreneurial role models and selfefficacy
understood as the perception of possessing relevant skills and knowledge to
become a successful entrepreneur. We find that exposure to entrepreneurial role models
offsets self-efficacy as a driver of entrepreneurial intentions. The effect is magnified by the
individualistic character of the national culture.
Key words: entrepreneurial intentions, role models, self-efficacy, individualism, multilevel
