entrepreneurs who were ex-juvenile successfully make behavioural changes through the
approach and application of entrepreneurial-oriented behavioural development. Apart from
that, ESE is also able to influence the positive behavioural changes of ex-juvenile. In general,

emotions makes ex-juvenile entrepreneurs’ more positive and increases their confidence in
entrepreneurial self-efficacy and guarantees behavioural change as expected. Basically, this
study fills the knowledge gap through testable prepositions and its concludes that
entrepreneurial orientation and entrepreneurial self-efficacy influence ex-juvenile
