The effect of business students' maladaptive decision-making strategies on entrepreneurial intention

Abstract

[EN] An individual's decision-making strategies are influenced by socially learned patterns. An individual's entrepreneurial behavior can be studied by evaluating learned decision-making patterns. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of business students' decision-making strategies on entrepreneurial intentions and to assess the relationship of maladaptive decision-making patterns to business students' intention. Significantly, the results indicate that usiness students who tend to engage in buck passing may be more likely to have entrepreneurial intentions. Buck passing behavior, where responsibility is shifted to others, might be linked to a more independent and proactive entrepreneurial mindset. Individuals who procrastinate are less likely to have entrepreneurial intentions. Procrastination is associated with a lower perceived behavioral control. Individuals who are hypervigilant may experience a sense of reduced control over their actions. Vigilance is linked to greater entrepreneurial intentions, indicating a proactive mindset in monitoring opportunities and risks.
