Abstract :
Entrepreneurial intention is one such area of
study that is well-established in the subject of
entrepreneurship. As more information about this topic is
learned, new questions about it also arise that must be
answered. Investigating whether institutional factors and
self-regulation influence entrepreneurial drives in the
entrepreneurial field may be beneficial given that many
researchers have claimed that entrepreneurship is
influenced by a variety of factors and is mostly motivated
by intents. The paper makes an effort to understand how
institutional variables, self-regulation, and
entrepreneurial intentions interact in the context of South
Africa. The Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM)
which is available to the general public, served as the
study's data source for South Africa from 2001 to 2019.
The key findings point to a relatively substantial
relationship between self-regulation and entrepreneur
intentions. Self-regulation significantly influences
entrepreneur intention more than any other factor. While
informal institutions also boost entrepreneurship
intention, the relationship between this occurrence and
formal institutions, however, is not favourable.
Demonstrating a weak and negative relationship to
entrepreneurs’ intentions. This study adds to the body of
knowledge on entrepreneurship and supports the
significance of self-regulation with entrepreneur
intentions in South Africa. The study’s findings indicate
that a person's decision to become self-employed is often
based on their assessment of their capacity to carry out
their plans. It has significant ramifications for academics
and decision-makers. Additional practical applications
for education and development are provided by these
findings.
