摘要

This study aims to identify the determinants influencing the entrepreneurial orientation (EO) of Ethiopian returnee migrants, examining both the challenges and competitive advantages shaping their entrepreneurial endeavors. Grounded in an integrated framework combining push-pull migration motives and the theory of planned behavior (TPB), the research employs a quanitative research approach to analyze data collected from 390 returnee migrant entrepreneurs. The hypothesized relationships were tested through the Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM was used to empirically test the relationships proposed hypotheses. Moreover, multivariate statistical techniques were utilized to identify and validate the key factors affecting EO, while ANOVA assessed variations in EO dimensions across demographic profiles. The findings reveal that access to finance, government policy support, guidance and counseling services, and human capital exert statistically significant effects on returnee migrants’ EO. Furthermore, the study underscores the necessity of aligning the entrepreneurial ecosystem with institutional policies to overcome regulatory impediments, such as bureaucratic inefficiencies, systemic corruption, and prohibitive collateral requirements. Notably, the analysis highlights the critical role of tailored guidance and counseling services in fostering business sustainability and emphasizes the need for targeted policy interventions to support less-educated returnees. Additionally, the study identifies gender-sensitive initiatives as pivotal for cultivating an inclusive entrepreneurial landscape. The study concludes that enhancing vibrant returnee migrant EO necessitates a holistic approach, encompassing educational capacity-building, evidence-based policymaking, improved financial accessibility, psychosocial support mechanisms, and a robust startup learning ecosystem. These insights contribute to migration-entrepreneurship literature and practitioner discussions on fostering migrant-led economic development.
