Research background: Although perceived barriers are considered one of the central constructs in entrepreneurship research, most previous studies only examine the direct effect of perceived barriers on attitudes and/or intentions to become entrepreneurs. Little attention is paid to how perceived barriers can weaken individuals' translation from entrepreneurial intentions to actual behaviors. Purpose of the article: This research aims to adopt the Social Cognitive Career Theory and a moderated mediation model to bridge the entrepreneurial intention-action link, investigate the moderation effects of perceived barriers on this link and the mediation path from entrepreneurial self-efficacy to entrepreneurial behavior via entrepreneurial intention. Methods: A valid sample of 1,698 Vietnamese respondents with real working and business experiences through the stratified random sampling with three stages and PROCESS macro approach have been used to examine the moderated mediation effect of perceived barriers on the entrepreneurial self-efficacy-intention-behavior linkages. Findings & value added: The findings of this study shed new light on entrepreneurial literature by applying the Social Cognitive Career Theory to illustrate the moderated mediation effects of perceived barriers and entrepreneurial intention in the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and entrepreneurial behavior. Particularly, the translation from entrepreneurial intentions into start-up actions was found to became weaker when perceived barriers was high. Moreover, perceived barriers were also found to negatively moderate the indirect effects of entrepreneurial self-efficacy on start-up behaviors through entrepreneurial intentions. The findings of our study also provide several essential recommendations for policymakers and practitioners to encourage individuals' business venture creations and enhance entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Adopting concepts from Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), the paper examines the role of various career self–management (CSM) behaviors in influencing job search self–efficacy and employment success for graduates during university–to–work transitions. It also considers barriers to employment conceptualized in perceived internal and external employability. Hypotheses were tested using data from UK graduates. The results show that most CSM measures are indirectly related to employment success. Moreover, one CSM behavior, networking, was more beneficial with respect to likelihood of job offers or being in employment for those who held poor perceived internal employability. The findings have theoretical and practical implications for the role of CSM on employment success during university–to–work transitions.

W niniejszej pracy, korzystając z pojęć zawartych w społeczno-kognitywnej teorii kariery, oceniono rolę różnorakich zachowań samodzielnego zarządzania karierą (career self-management – CSM) oraz ich wpływ na skuteczność poszukiwania pracy i sukces zawodowy absolwentów będących na etapie przechodzenia ze studiów do życia zawodowego. Praca zawiera także rozważania na temat barier w zatrudnieniu w koncepcji postrzegania wewnętrznej i zewnętrznej zatrudnialności. Hipotezy przetestowano na podstawie danych dotyczących absolwentów uczelni wyższych w Wielkiej Brytanii. Wyniki wykazały, że środki CSM mogą być pośrednio powiązane z sukcesem zawodowym. Szczególnie jedno zachowanie CSM – networking (nawiązywanie szerokich kontaktów) okazało się korzystniejsze dla zwiększenia prawdopodobieństwa otrzymania ofert pracy lub zatrudnienia dla osób, których postrzegana wewnętrzna zatrudnialność wykazywała niski poziom. Wyniki badań mają praktyczne i teoretyczne implikacje w odniesieniu do roli CSM w sukcesie zatrudnienia w okresie przechodzenia z życia akademickiego do kariery zawodowej.
