Abstract: Entrepreneurial persistence is crucial for venture success and entrepreneurs’ personal growth. Yet, the extant research on entrepreneurial persistence has largely remained disconnected. The current disjointed profusion of constructs and theories which we believe has made progress on understanding this important construct slower than is ideal. To address those issues, we conducted a systematic review and made explicit the nomological network of antecedents and consequences of entrepreneurial persistence and the related constructs of perseverance and tenacity. Our review identified potential theoretical and empirical issues of the current entrepreneurial persistence research and outlined areas and opportunities for future research.
