Emergence of entrepreneurial behaviour: The role of age-based self-image (2015, background): “Prior entrepreneurship research suggests that these ‘prototypes of the self’ (Mitchell & Shepherd, 2010, p.142) are key drivers of entrepreneurial behaviour (McMullen & Shepherd, 2006; Wood, McKelvie, & Haynie, 2014).”
Fear and Entrepreneurship: A Review and Research Agenda (2015, unknown): “In other cases, studies explicitly relate the fearful emotional reactions to the possibility of failure of opportunity or outcome (e.g. Arenius and Minniti 2005; Hessels et al. 2011; Koellinger et al. 2013; Mitchell and Shepherd 2010; Wagner 2007; Wennberg et al. 2013; Wood et al. 2014).”
A reconceptualization of fear of failure in entrepreneurship (2016, methodology): “But this organizing theme is strongly situated in the entrepreneurial context and has been discussed from the perspective of how fear of failure shapes beliefs about opportunities (Mitchell and Shepherd, 2010; Wood et al., 2014).”
Fear of failure as a mediator of the relationship between obstacles and nascent entrepreneurial activity—An experimental approach ☆ (2017, background): “Such an avoidance reaction can manifest itself in cognitive and consequently behavioral reactions (Elliot and Thrash, 2004; Wood et al., 2014).”
Entrepreneurial mindset: Dispositional beliefs, opportunity beliefs, and entrepreneurial behavior (2021, background): “The degree to which entrepreneurs pay attention to potential opportunities is a function of their knowledge, motivation, and past experiences and future fears regarding pursuing opportunities (Wood et al., 2014).”
Digital Technologies as External Enablers of New Venture Creation in the IT Hardware Sector (2018, background): “However, apart from cogni-tion-focused, experimental research on ‘‘opportunity recognition’’ (e.g., Gre´goire & Shepherd, 2012; Wood, McKelvie, & Haynie, 2014), theoretical and empirical progress has been limited (Shane, 2012).”
Social support timing and persistence in nascent entrepreneurship: exploring when instrumental and emotional support is most effective (2017, background): “form of encouragement are more optimistic about the viability of their business, and will appraise their opportunity more favorably (Williams andWood 2015; Wood et al. 2014).”
