Abstract: Considerable research has examined the relationship between Entrepreneurial Self-Efficacy (ESE) and performance. ESE refers to the strength of the individuals' beliefs that they are capable of successfully performing the roles and tasks of entrepreneurs. Whereas prior ESE research has a non-indigenous focus, this study addresses a gap in the literature by examining the relationship between ESE and perceived individual success in Indigenous nascent entrepreneurs. The results from this research support the notion that indigenous nascent entrepreneurs demonstrate positive entrepreneurial experience-ESE and ESE-perceived individual success relationships but an inverse education-entrepreneurial experience relationship.
