Measuring entrepreneurial passion: Conceptual foundations and scale validation (2013, background): “…of strong emotions: it specifically concerns intense positive feelings for activities that are central and meaningful to an individual's self-identity (Cardon et al., 2009a; Farmer et al., 2011; Fauchart and Gruber, 2011; Murnieks and Mosakowski, 2006; Murnieks et al., 2012; Perttula, 2004).”
Emergence of entrepreneurial behaviour: The role of age-based self-image (2015, background): “Whereas Farmer, Yao, and Kung-Mcintyre (2011) found strong links between the belief toward the self as an entrepreneur and start-up behaviour, Mitchell and Shepherd (2010) showed that different images of the self, namely images of vulnerability and images of capability, affect the intention to act…”
Entrepreneurs’ human capital and growth aspirations: the moderating role of regional entrepreneurial culture (2019, background): “Secondly, prior entrepreneurial experience suggests learning in the context of the process of venture creation and development (Corbett 2005), as individuals with prior entrepreneurial experience have the opportunity to learn from mistakes and avoid them in future projects (Farmer et al. 2011).”

Entrepreneurial identity formation during the initial entrepreneurial experience: The influence of simulation feedback and existing identity (2018, background): “Similarly, Farmer et al.

Unraveling the “passion orchestra” in academia (2016, methodology): “Given the centrality of identity in entrepreneurial transitions (Farmer et al., 2011; Hoang and Gimeno, 2010; Obschonka et al., 2015), we elaborate on identity theory before turning to the development of our conceptual model.”
