Abstract

PurposeProgress in agriculture significantly relies on the adoption of innovative farm practices by farmers. Being proactive and risk-taking catalyses this innovativeness. Progressive farmers in general are proving to be effective in developing their farms along entrepreneurial lines. The paper aims to examine the relationship between the entrepreneurial traits of risk-taking, proactiveness, innovativeness and entrepreneurial intention (EI) of progressive farmers in Kashmir.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative research approach was used to evaluate how innovativeness, risk-taking and proactiveness affect EI. The data was collected from registered progressive farmers using a structured questionnaire via both online and offline means. 203 useable responses were received. The data was then analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM).FindingsThe results reveal that progressive farmers' EI is influenced by innovativeness, risk-taking and proactiveness. As hypothesized, a significant and positive relationship was found between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) traits of risk-taking, proactiveness and innovativeness and EI.Research limitations/implicationsThe study adds to the existing body of knowledge on agri-entrepreneurship by conceptualizing EO traits influencing EI of progressive farmers and offering insightful advice to policymakers on how to improve progressive farmers' entrepreneurial abilities and in turn convert their EI into agro venture establishment in Kashmir.Originality/valueThis study makes advancements in the field of farming-related EO by examining the EI of progressive farmers. This study covers a knowledge gap as there aren't many empirical studies on agricultural entrepreneurship that concentrate on the EO of progressive farmers and how it influences the EI in general in India and the Kashmir valley in particular.

进步农民的创业意愿:创新性、冒险性和积极性的影响
目的农业的进步在很大程度上依赖于农民采用创新的农业做法。积极主动和敢于冒险促进了这种创新。事实证明,进步的农民在沿着创业路线发展农场方面是有效的。本文旨在检验克什米尔进步农民的冒险、积极、创新的创业特征与创业意愿之间的关系。设计/方法论/方法采用定量研究方法来评估创新、冒险和积极性如何影响EI。这些数据是通过在线和离线方式,使用结构化问卷从注册的进步农民那里收集的。收到203个可用响应。然后使用偏最小二乘结构方程建模(PLS-SEM)对数据进行分析。研究结果表明,进步农民的EI受创新性、冒险性和积极性的影响。正如假设的那样,创业导向(EO)的冒险性、积极性和创新性特征与EI之间存在显著的正相关关系。研究局限性/含义该研究通过概念化影响进步农民创业投资的EO特征,并就如何提高进步农民的创业能力,进而将其创业投资转化为克什米尔的农业风险投资,向决策者提供有见地的建议,从而增加了现有的农业创业知识体系。独创性/价值本研究通过考察进步农民的EI,在农业相关EO领域取得了进展。这项研究涵盖了一个知识差距,因为没有太多关于农业创业的实证研究集中于进步农民的EO,以及它如何影响印度和克什米尔山谷的总体EI。
