As a minority group, people with disabilities (PWD) face many challenges when making a career choice and establishing vocational goals. Self-employment or entrepreneurship represents a viable, prevalent vocational option for people with disabilities (PWD). Owning a business, which offers flexibility, independence, earnings, and satisfaction, is a common practice among PWD. This dissertation investigates the dynamic factors that influence entrepreneurial business formation among minority groups. Specifically, it evaluates the effect of personal, socio-cultural, and institutional factors on the entrepreneurial intentions of PWD. Proactive personality, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, fear of failure, and optimism are the personal factors, while perceived social status and the presence of a role model represent the socio-cultural predictors. Lastly, perceived resource support and perceived institutional support are the institutional variables. All these predictors are examined to determine their influence in the entrepreneurial venture behavior of entrepreneurs with disabilities.
