Abstract

Sustainable entrepreneurship is crucial as it represents a proactive approach to business that seeks financial success and addresses pressing environmental and societal challenges, contributing to a more resilient and responsible global economy. Comparably, the importance of sustainable entrepreneurship in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) lies in its capacity to foster economic resilience, environmental stewardship, and social development, aligning with the nation's 2030 vision for a diversified and sustainable future. Despite the growing number of publications assessing sustainable entrepreneurship in recent years, there remains a need for further advancement in this field. In the context of KSA, despite notable efforts in existing studies, there is a compelling need to delve into the factors driving sustainable entrepreneurship. This exploration is crucial as it represents a departure from traditional norms in entrepreneurial practices. It is vital for comprehending the elements that can initiate and foster sustainable entrepreneurial behaviour, among other research agendas. Therefore, this systematic review focuses on identifying and analyzing publications that explore sustainable entrepreneurship in KSA to highlight current contributions to the field and suggest future research directions.
