Green Development System and Senior Student Teams’ Sustainable Entrepreneurial Improvisation in Guizhou Province, China: Impact of Social Mindfulness and Resilient Leadership

Government support is the main cause of promoting sustainable entrepreneurship, and green system is associated with improvisation. Therefore, using a sample of 201 senior students from 30 teams in Guizhou Province, China, the relationship between the green development system and senior student teams’ sustainable entrepreneurial improvisation, the mediating effect of social mindfulness, and the facilitating effect of resilient leadership were investigated. The results confirm for the first time that green development system is positively related to senior student teams’ sustainable entrepreneurial improvisation in Guizhou Province, China; that social mindfulness has a partial mediating effect; that resilient leadership is able to promote the relationship between green development system and senior student teams’ sustainable entrepreneurial improvisation; and that resilient leadership is not able to promote the relationship between social mindfulness and senior student teams’ sustainable entrepreneurial improvisation. This suggests that entrepreneurial teams of senior students in Guizhou Province needs not only a sound green entrepreneurial environment, but also a combination of positive attitudes and adaptive abilities with the goodness traits on the part of team leaders to adequately promote their behaviors of responding to unexpected events instantly in the process of sustainable entrepreneurship.
