dc.abstract.enAim: Despite research on how the constellation of the dark triad traits relates to entrepreneurial inten-tion, it still remains to be seen how nuanced such relationships were during the COVID-19 pandemic in Europe. In this article, we investigate this phenomenon by elaborating on the relations between com-ponents of the dark triad traits concerning pull and push factors affecting entrepreneurial intention.Methods: Using 4,056 datasets from the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students’ Survey (GUESSS) 2021 and data on unemployment rates and GDP per capita of 22 European countries, we em-ployed multivariate regression analysis to examine the antecedents of entrepreneurial intention. Results:Our results show that GDP per capita is inversely related to entrepreneurial intention, with statistical significance also found for the unemployment rate and narcissism in their influence on entrepreneurial intention. More so, we found that COVID-19 unlocked the hidden potential of student entrepreneurship for the represented European countries. We also found interesting results on how the intensities of the dark triad influence entrepreneurial intentions. Conclusions: Difficult situations such as COVID-19 might trigger the manifestation of dark triad traits, which – to a greater extent – influence entrepreneurial intentions.
dc.abstract.plCel: W pracy przeanalizowano związek cech ciemnej triady i intencji przedsiębiorczych wśród studentów w kontekście wystąpienia pandemii COVID-19 w wybranych krajach w Europie. Metody: W pracy wyko-rzystano dane empiryczne zebrane w ramach projektu GUESSS 2021 oraz dane wtórne charakteryzujące bezrobocie i PKB per capita dla 22 krajów europejskich. Do analizy danych wykorzystano wielowymiarową analizę regresji. Wyniki: Otrzymane wyniki pozwoliły ustalić, że badani studenci z krajów o wyższym PKB per capita wykazywali niższy poziom intencji przedsiębiorczych. Ponadto ustalono statystycznie istotne zależności także dla wskaźnika bezrobocia i narcyzmu w kontekście intencji przedsiębiorczych badanych studentów. Wnioski: Trudne sytuacje, takie jak pandemia COVID-19, mogą wywoływać manifestację cech ciemnej triady, które w większym stopniu wpływają na intencje przedsiębiorcze wśród studentów
