Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study examines the effects of entrepreneurial involvement on entrepreneurial quality by integrating the mediating-moderating effect of sustainable entrepreneurial behavior and the entrepreneurial positive outcome. The results indicate that: (1) Entrepreneurial involvement—whether through entrepreneurial scenario involvement or entrepreneurial industry involvement—significantly influences the entrepreneurial quality and success of start-ups. (2) Further, sustainable entrepreneurial behavior serves as a bridge, mediating the relationship between entrepreneurial involvement and entrepreneurial quality. (3) Entrepreneurial positive outcome framework acts as a key moderating factor, enhancing the effect of entrepreneurial involvement and its dimensions on entrepreneurial quality. In light of the growing trend of green entrepreneurship, these findings suggest that start-ups should harness the driving force of entrepreneurial involvement, optimize the utilization of internal and external entrepreneurial resources, and implement robust incentive mechanisms for entrepreneurial teams to promote high-quality development.
