Abstract
Abstract This study is developed based on particular social and cultural backgrounds and discovers young Eastern ethnic minority groups’ (EMGs) online-startup motivation on live streaming platforms. Drawing on the Hofstede cultural dimensions, this paper explores various influencing factors, including peers’ support, conservative thinking and family support. It analyses young Eastern EMGs’ entrepreneurial motivation and behaviour based on the Stimulus, Organism and Response (S-O-R) model. Compared with traditional research models, the combination of the Hofstede cultural theory and the S-O-R model could be conducive to make the research model reflect influencing factors and present their specific relationships. By analysing 531 valid online questionnaires based on the partial least squares path modelling and variance-based structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM), the paper proves that peers’ support and family support can reduce young EMGs’ conservative thinking and positively affect young people EMGs’ online-startup motivation. Based on the analysis results, some suggestions are provided for related departments, aiming to enhance young EMGs’ online-startup confidence.
期刊介绍:
Entrepreneurship Research Journal (ERJ) was launched with an Inaugural Issue in 2011. Professor Ramona Zachary at Baruch College and Professor Chandra Mishra at Florida Atlantic University introduce a new forum for scholarly discussion on entrepreneurs and their activities, contexts, processes, strategies, and outcomes. Positioned as the premier new research journal within the field of entrepreneurship, ERJ seeks to encourage a scholarly exchange between researchers from any field of study who focus on entrepreneurs, and will include both theoretical and empirical articles, with priority being given to high quality theoretical and empirical papers that have managerial or public policy orientation as well as ramifications for entrepreneurship research overall. Topics: -Research Modeling, Design, and Methods: entrepreneurship theories and conceptualizations, entrepreneurship research methods. -The Individuals-Opportunities-Resources Nexus: nascent entrepreneurs, opportunity recognition, drivers of value creation, and emergence, innovation and technology entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial risk and reward, entrepreneurial cognition and behavior. -Inclusive of Near Environments: family entrepreneurship, networks, teams and alliances, venture capital and angel investor groups, entrepreneurial communities, hubs, clusters and public policy, social entrepreneurship. -Distinct Entrepreneurial Stage or Setting: entrepreneurial growth and strategy, boards, governance and leadership, corporate entrepreneurship, international and emerging market entrepreneurship.
