Title: | Postgraduate entrepreneurship education: can entrepreneurial passion be developed? | Authors: | Zainuddin, M. N. Mukhtar, D. |
Keywords: | Entrepreneurial identity;Entrepreneurial passion;Entrepreneurship education | Issue Date: | 2023 | Publisher: | Emerald Publishing Limited | Journal: | Journal of Entrepreneurship in Emerging Economies | Abstract: | Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine postgraduate students' reflexive narratives about their entrepreneurial passion (EP) experience as a result of their direct participation in a series of hand-selected experiential learning events within the curated identity workspace (IW) of a cross-disciplinary postgraduate entrepreneurship education programme. Design/methodology/approach: This study uses a qualitative exploratory design using interpretative phenomenological analysis with a group of graduate students from a cross-disciplinary postgraduate entrepreneurship education program at an entrepreneurial university. Findings: This study discovers that students’ EP experience is developed through the internalisation of an entrepreneurship learning activity into their personal identity through the harmonisation and reorganisation of their competing micro-identities of professional and entrepreneurial identity, prompting them to create a new identity that enables them to act entrepreneurially without relinquishing their existing professional identity. Originality/value: This study demonstrates how entrepreneurial education programmes function as an IW and posits a theoretical model illustrating the hidden connections between entrepreneurial activity, personal identity and entrepreneurial learning experience that collectively influence individuals' entrepreneurial behaviour. |
