Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the relationship between entrepreneurial Cognition (EC), entrepreneurial subjective norms (ESN), entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE), and entrepreneurial Innovation Capability (EIC) on agribusiness sustainability (AS) in North-Central Nigeria. Design/methodology/approach: Adopting a cross-sectional survey of 340 agro-processing firms, collected data were analyzed using Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Findings: Results revealed that EC and ESN exerted significant positive effects on agribusiness sustainability, while EIC served as a partial mediator between the constructs and AS. Furthermore, EC, ESE, and ESN significantly predicted EIC, indicating that innovation capability is largely shaped by entrepreneurs’ networks and competencies. Indirect effect analysis confirmed that EIC significantly mediates the relationships between EC, ESE, ESN, and AS. Limitations and Research implications: This study only examines the impact of entrepreneurial psychology on agribusiness sustainability in North Central Nigeria, caution should be exercised when generalizing the findings. Practical Implications: The study findings practically imply that enhancing entrepreneurial psychology strengthens agribusiness sustainability outcomes, hence recommends that targeted agribusiness capacity programs should be aimed at boosting entrepreneurial innovation capability to increase the sustainability of agribusinesses in North Central Nigeria. Originality/value: The findings from the PLS-SEM analysis demonstrate a statistically significant and positive relationship between entrepreneurial factors and agribusiness sustainability in North Central Nigeria.

Abstract

Purpose: This paper investigates the mediating effect of dynamic capability on social mission, social change-making and community empowerment in North-West Nigeria. It also examines the direct effect of social mission and social change-making on community empowerment. Design/methodology/approach: This study used a quantitative survey with a structured questionnaire of 462 respondents from seven states in North-West Nigeria, including community leaders, CDA/CDS leaders, employees, beneficiaries, and informed household members; data were analysed using descriptive statistics and PLS-SEM. Findings: The findings show that social mission and social change-making have significant direct and indirect effects on community empowerment through dynamic capability, highlighting it as a key mechanism in strengthening social entrepreneurship’s contribution in North-West Nigeria. Limitations and Research implications: This study examined social mission, social change-making, and community empowerment through dynamic capability in North-West Nigeria; while the sample may introduce bias and limit generalisability, the findings emphasise the need to strengthen dynamic capabilities in social enterprises to enhance community empowerment. Practical Implications: The findings suggest that social enterprises should strengthen their social mission and build dynamic capabilities to maximise community empowerment, as these capabilities enhance the effectiveness of social initiatives and support sustainable community-based interventions. Originality/value: This study shows that social mission and social change-making enhance community empowerment through dynamic capability, driven by organisations’ ability to adapt and reconfigure capabilities into sustainable outcomes.
