| Abstract |
Considerable scholarly attention has been given to the influence parents have on the self-employment of their children. We further investigate this relationship by examining whether paternal grit, via a young adult's grit, could influence young adult self-employment. Using a sample of 1504 participants from the Cultural Pathways to Economic Self-Sufficiency and Entrepreneurship (CUPESSE) survey, our findings indicate that paternal grit is positively associated with young adult grit, and that paternal grit has a positive indirect relationship with young adult self-employment, as mediated by young adult grit. Our study has important implications to ongoing conversations regarding the generational transmission aspects of self-employment, as well as the influence that grit can have on the entrepreneurial process. |
