Abstract

How to motivate entrepreneurial passion is an essential issue in entrepreneurship research. Although individual factors have been tested, national-level factors are overlooked. This study focuses on the national entrepreneurial environments in China and South Korea and employs a person-centred approach to identify the different types of entrepreneurs according to their passion level and structure and determine how entrepreneurial environments link to various profiles of entrepreneurial passion. The results showed that although non-passionate and explorative entrepreneurs exist in China and South Korea, expansive and mature entrepreneurs are unique in China, while conservative and growing entrepreneurs are unique to South Korea. To enhance entrepreneurial passion, the Chinese government should improve entrepreneurship education and training, and the South Korean government should provide better entrepreneurship policies and socioeconomic conditions.
