Krueger et al.(2000) relate entrepreneurial intention with those who care about new venture formation. It is a way of thinking for an entrepreneur to emphasize on opportunities over threats. The rise in entrepreneurship is an important issue in the present world. Entrepreneurs are giving more attention to the small and medium enterprise. Start-up businesses are very significant in the case of growth, profitability, and development of the society. Possible factors that have an impact on entrepreneurial intention includes financial well-being, need for achievement, self-efficacy, and desire to be independent. The research question is to examine the factors of motivation towards entrepreneurial intention in the context of the female of Bangladesh. The problem is very significant as previous research has done mainly on male entrepreneurs and in the developed countries. The few studies conducted in developing countries to date (Iakovleva et al., 2011). The current study is an effort to explicitly examine the relationship between several factors of motivation and entrepreneurial intention of females of Bangladesh. In keeping with the hypotheses, results show that only need for achievement has a significant positive relation with entrepreneurial intention.展开更多

Cross-sectional survey methods were used. A total of 282 part-time nurse faculty working in colleges or universities in Ontario, Canada were invited to participate. Survey instruments and items measured demographic, workplace, nurse responses to the workplace, and external variables. Correlation, multiple regression, and mediation analyses were conducted using data from 119 participants (47.6% response rate). Of the 19 variables hypothesized to affect intent to remain employed in the academic organization, seven influenced intent to remain. The resulting model indicated that the older the part-time nurse faculty member, the lower the level of intent to remain and the more years worked in the organization, the higher the level of intent to remain. The more opportunities perceived to exist outside of the employing organization, the higher the level of intent to remain. Additionally, the more satisfied part-time nurse faculty were with their job overall, the higher their level of intent to remain. In the workplace, the more support from the leader, the more formal or informal recognition received, and the more fair work procedures were perceived to be, the higher levels of part-time nurse faculty intent to remain employed in the academic organization, mediated by job satisfaction. Although age, organizational tenure, and external career opportunities are non-modifiable variables, deans and directors can encourage part-time nurse faculty to remain employed in their academic job by focusing on enhancing overall job satisfaction. Effective strategies may include formal or informal acknowledgement of good performance, consistent verbal and behavioural support, and implementation of procedural practices, such as performance evaluations and pay raises in a fair manner.展开更多
