How Entrepreneurial Involvement Affects Entrepreneurial Quality? Mediators of Sustainable Entrepreneurial Behavior and Moderators of Entrepreneurial Positive Outcome Framework

This study examines the effects of entrepreneurial involvement on entrepreneurial quality by integrating the mediating-moderating effect of sustainable entrepreneurial behavior and the entrepreneurial positive outcome. The results indicate that: (1) Entrepreneurial involvement—whether through entrepreneurial scenario involvement or entrepreneurial industry involvement—significantly influences the entrepreneurial quality and success of start-ups. (2) Further, sustainable entrepreneurial behavior serves as a bridge, mediating the relationship between entrepreneurial involvement and entrepreneurial quality. (3) Entrepreneurial positive outcome framework acts as a key moderating factor, enhancing the effect of entrepreneurial involvement and its dimensions on entrepreneurial quality. In light of the growing trend of green entrepreneurship, these findings suggest that start-ups should harness the driving force of entrepreneurial involvement, optimize the utilization of internal and external entrepreneurial resources, and implement robust incentive mechanisms for entrepreneurial teams to promote high-quality development.
