Abstract: Abstract What are the nuanced relationships among the dimensions of individual entrepreneurial orientation (Individual EO) and the factors of entrepreneurial alertness (EA)? We theorize that individual EO as a dispositional belief-based construct (i.e., what entrepreneurs believe) precedes EA as a cognition-oriented construct (i.e., how entrepreneurs think). Following this theorization, this research develops several propositions among the individual EO-EA dimensions. We also provide contingencies as possible theoretical boundaries that may alter these associations. Consequently, we enrich the EO-EA literature by articulating the detailed relationships of individual EO dimensions and EA factors, providing opportunities for future empirical studies.
