Entrepreneurial failure (EF) can occur due to aspects beyond the control of an entrepreneur, even if planning and calculations have been thorough. This research proposes a framework to illustrate how entrepreneurs cope with failure, based on the psychological characteristics that lead them to become entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurial self-efficacy and internal locus of controls measure the perceived learning from failure and recovery ability that can support continued entrepreneur engagement and new opportunity recognition after a failure. This study applied Partial Least Square to calculate and evaluate data from 146 respondents to an online questionnaire survey. The analysis shows that the psychological characteristics represented by entrepreneurial self-efficacy and internal locus of control can influence the willingness of entrepreneurs to learn from failure and increase their ability to recover. This can increase the willingness to continue in entrepreneurship and help them to recognize new opportunities. However, recovery ability does not support entrepreneurial self-efficacy or new opportunity recognition because the ability to recover may vary among the entrepreneurs, depending on many factors.
创业失败（EF）可能由于创业者无法控制的因素而发生，即使规划和计算已经很周全。本研究提出了一个框架，以说明创业者如何应对失败，该框架基于促使他们成为创业者的心理特征。创业自我效能感和内控 locus of controls 衡量了从失败中感知到的学习以及恢复能力，这些能力可以支持创业者在失败后继续参与创业并识别新机会。本研究应用偏最小二乘法来计算和评估来自146名在线问卷调查受访者的数据。分析表明，创业自我效能感和内控所代表的心理特征可以影响创业者从失败中学习的意愿，并提高他们的恢复能力。这可以增加继续创业的意愿，并帮助他们识别新机会。然而，恢复能力并不支持创业自我效能感或新机会识别，因为恢复能力在创业者之间可能因许多因素而异。 （注：“internal locus of controls”表述有误，可能是“internal locus of control”，意为内控点 ）
