Businessman or host? Individual differences between entrepreneurs and small business owners in the hospitality industry (2008, positive): “In the next section, we will give an overview of several personal characteristics and competencies that have been found predictive of business ownership in prior research (Rauch & Frese, 2007a, 2007b), but which we expect to distinguish entrepreneurs from other small business owners.”
Social entrepreneurship education in higher education: insights from a developing country (2013, background): “The answer to this question calls up new research questions, which are not among our research goals in this study [for more information, see Rauch and Frese (2007), and Painter (1998)].”
Entrepreneurship Education And Training In A Small Business Context: Insights From The Competence-Based Approach (2008, background): “Rauch and Frese (2007) make a distinction between broad personality traits of entrepreneurs (the ‘big-five’ taxonomy: extraversion, emotional stability, openness to experience, agreeableness and conscientiousness) and specific personality traits of entrepreneurs (e.g. need for achievement, risk…”
The Role of Affect in the Creation and Intentional Pursuit of Entrepreneurial Ideas (2012, background): “Within the entrepreneurship literature, general and task-specific self-efficacy are among the most consistently supported dispositional variables (e.g., Boyd & Vozikis, 1994; Rauch & Frese, 2007).”

Balanced skills among nascent entrepreneurs (2013, background): “Whereas human capital, in general, has long been deemed a central factor here (Rauch and Frese 2007), earlier research has neglected to consider the jack-of-all-trades view when understanding why traits are important.”
Personality Traits of Entrepreneurs: A Review of Recent Literature (2018, positive): “Rauch and Frese (2007) find in their meta-analysis that an internal LOC has a significant correlation with business creation and eventual business success.”
The Relationship of Personality to Entrepreneurial Intentions and Performance: A Meta-Analytic Review (2010, methodology): “Second, we surveyed previous narrative reviews (e.g., Busenitz et al., 2003; Rauch & Frese, 2007) and meta-analyses (e.g., Miner & Raju, 2004; Stewart & Roth, 2001) to find relevant studies.”
