Abstract

This study investigated entrepreneurial resourcefulness (ER) and new venture creation intention (NVCI) among early and late starter youth entrepreneurs. It also examined the mediating role of sensing capability on the ER-NVCI relationship. We utilized data gathered from 320 early starter entrepreneurs (ESE) and late starter entrepreneurs (LSE) in an entrepreneurial higher education setting in Nigeria. The PLS-SEM was used to determine the direct relationship between ER and NVCI, and mediating role of sensing capability on the ER-NVCI relationship. Across the three sample levels including ESE, LSE, and the full-sample, the results show that frugality and self-control resourcefulness behaviour directly impact on sensing capability. Also, there is a direct impact of sensing capability on NVCI. The mediating effect of sensing capability is stronger on the relationship between frugality and NVCI. Our study extends the existing literature by spotlighting ER within the context of ESE and LSE in explaining time differentials among student entrepreneur's new venture creation intention.

创业智谋与创业创新：感知能力在创业早、晚青年企业家中的中介作用

本研究探讨了创业智谋与创业意向的关系。研究了感知能力对ER-NVCI关系的中介作用。我们使用了从尼日利亚创业型高等教育环境中的320名早期创业企业家（ESE）和后期创业企业家（LSE）收集的数据。利用PLS-SEM分析了ER与NVCI之间的直接关系，以及感知能力对ER-NVCI关系的中介作用。在包括ESE、LSE和全样本在内的三个样本水平上，结果表明节俭和自我控制足智多谋行为直接影响感知能力。此外，感知能力对NVCI也有直接影响。感知能力在节俭与NVCI之间的中介作用更强。我们的研究扩展了现有文献，在ESE和LSE的背景下聚焦ER来解释学生企业家新创业意愿的时间差异。
