Understanding agripreneurial intention and behaviour using the theory of planned behaviour: a meta-analytic review
Anca Anton & J. Paul Mansingh
What the paper says
This research endeavour undertakes the synthesis of the current literature on agripreneurial intention by examining the applicability of the theory of planned behaviour. Zero-order correlations reported in the findings of 33 studies (n = 12,132) were subjected to a random-effects meta-analysis, and associations between the factors comprising the theory of planned behaviour were analysed using bivariate analysis and meta-analytic structural equation modelling, which was based on a pooled correlation matrix. The results indicate that agripreneurial intention is positively linked to attitudes towards entrepreneurship and perceived behavioural control, while there is no statistically significant relationship between subjective norms and agripreneurial intention. Furthermore, agripreneurial behaviour is positively related to both agripreneurial intention and perceived behavioural control. A moderation analysis was conducted to investigate inconsistent findings, which suggests that gender dominance may explain some inconsistencies. Practically, the study provides guidelines for academics, education institutions, governments, and policymakers involved in promoting entrepreneurship in agribusiness.
