This paper explored the nature and existence of envy and jealousy, as well as their causes, effects and management in entrepreneurship. A qualitative case study design and convenience sampling were used to select four CEOs of entrepreneurial firms in Ghana. Interviews were conducted to understand the phenomenon from the respondents’ viewpoints. Thematic analysis was done to guide the Ghanaian narrative of envy and jealousy and their nexus with firms’ success or otherwise. The paper found that envy and jealousy are different phenomena that exist in entrepreneurial activities, their nature is suggestive and manifest changes in demeanour where a normal characteristic of frowning deepens into a scowl, gossip, apathy and “eye service”. Envy and jealousy were caused by perceived favoritism arising out of lack of transparency, selfishness, greed and nepotism. Envy and jealousy lead to increased labour turnover, loss of revenue and sometimes sabotage but positively make the envied person resilient and hardworking. It, therefore, requires skillful strategies to attenuate the negative effects of envy and jealousy through education, transparent communication, discipline, friendliness and firm and fair management strategies. This paper provides better insights to help keep businesses alive by way of awareness creation to encourage entrepreneurs to consider envy and jealousy as possible factors that can destroy companies. To the best of our knowledge, this paper is the first to provide insight into the phenomenon of envy and jealousy in the field of entrepreneurship using Ghanaian narratives.","PeriodicalId":45024,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Entrepreneurship Research","volume":"108 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138546770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From the perspective of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and Meyer’s culture scales, we predict differences in the awareness-motivation-capability framework of competitive dynamics across four national cultures. A survey sample of 263 small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in France, India, Kenya, and the United States provides evidence of the hypothesized competitive differences. The cultural traits of individualism and indulgence often lead to a reduced sense of competitiveness. Moreover, within individualistic cultures, motivation is linked with an uptick in competitive ability but a decline in competitive consciousness, implying that companies in such cultures tend to take action without extensive deliberation. This investigation addresses two significant gaps in research. Firstly, it combines the research areas of competitive dynamics and culture, which have not previously been intertwined in empirical studies, despite culture's known influence on various business practices. Secondly, it sheds light on how varying levels of competition impact businesses by bridging the gap between research on competitive dynamics and SMEs.","PeriodicalId":45024,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Entrepreneurship Research","volume":"5 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138515841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Built on a sample of 320 registered MSMEs from Assam, India, it uses a schedule for data collection. The schedule comprises 32 challenges for the nascent MSMEs and 39 challenges for the mature MSMEs. The responses are captured in 5-point Likert scale. The study uses principal component analysis to meaningfully compress data into smaller groups. With the thumb rule of Eigenvalue greater than 1, six challenges for the nascent and seven challenges for the mature MSMEs are extracted as the new principal components (PCs). The six PCs/challenges hence found for the nascent MSMEs are as follows: marketing and infrastructural bottleneck, capital inaccessibility, dearth of entrepreneurial education and training, stringent government policies, paucity of appropriate business support and assistance and limited accessibility to resources. Likewise, the seven PCs/challenges for the mature MSMEs are as follows: inappropriate marketing strategy, capital inaccessibility, paucity of appropriate business support and assistance, limited accessibility to resources, stringent government policies, infrastructural bottleneck and dearth of entrepreneurial education and training. Furthermore, mean scores are calculated for these challenges and comparing the highest mean of all the challenges, and marketing and infrastructural bottleneck with a mean of 29.57 is rated as the most significant challenge for the nascent MSMEs whereas capital inaccessibility (36.39) is the first ranked challenge for the mature MSMEs.","PeriodicalId":45024,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Global Entrepreneurship Research","volume":"186 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138515832","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
