This study develops and tests a model linking business failure with entrepreneurial intention. The first essay develops a construct called failure intensity, which is used to measure the severity of business failure. The second essay investigates how failure intensity influences entrepreneurial intention through the attitude toward venturing and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The third essay expands the second paper’s model by exploring the individual and situational moderators that may influence the link between failure intensity and entrepreneurial intentions.
