International Journal of Business and Globalisation, 2022, vol. 32, issue 1, 96-112

Abstract: To the popular mind, for entrepreneurs, could there be a more relevant construct than grit? This much-ballyhooed personal characteristic of determined intentional perseverance should be a potent predictor of entrepreneurial behaviour and success. Why is it then that we see such mixed results of the impact of grit on entrepreneurial phenomena? In this review, we explore various aspects of how the psychological variable grit is applied to our understanding of entrepreneurial thinking, behaviour, and performance and closely related domains.
