Passion as a central characteristic of entrepreneurs has gained credence in explaining entrepreneurial behaviors, yet there is still a lack of knowledge about the mechanisms that explain the effect of entrepreneurial passion. I extended the growing body of research on the entrepreneurial passion–entrepreneurial behavior relationship by focusing on the mediating role of self-efficacy. To test my hypotheses I used structural equation modeling to analyze data obtained from surveys completed by 307 Master of Business Administration students from 6 Chinese universities. Results show that the effect of entrepreneurial passion on entrepreneurial behavior was fully mediated by self-efficacy. This finding sheds light on the role of self-efficacy in transmitting the impact of entrepreneurial passion on entrepreneurial behavior, providing valuable evidence on how to promote entrepreneurial behavior. Limitations and directions for future research are presented.

Cervical cancer is a preventable public health problem. The two new human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccines are available but not accessible to everyone in South Africa, as they are very expensive. This study aimed to investigate educated peoples acceptability regarding HPV vaccination. This was a cross-sectional survey conducted among 146 master of business administration students by self-administered, anonymous questionnaire. The majority (74%) of the participants ever heard of cervical cancer, but only 26.2% heard about HPV. After reading the fact information regarding cervical cancer and HPV, the intention to vaccinate their daughters increased from 88% to 97.2%(P=0.003). The majority (75.4%) indicated that HPV vaccination should be given before their daughters are mature enough to understand about sex, and 80.3% reported that they will discuss matters related to sex with their daughters if their daughters want to know about the vaccine. Those who did not want to vaccinate their daughters highlighted that they want more information regarding safety of the vaccine which might change their decision towards HPV vaccination. A health education information method can increase the vaccination acceptance rate in South Africa.
