In a quest to help explain the variance in this phenomenon, we develop and test hypotheses related to the role that the resource acquisition self-efficacy, entrepreneurial activities, and start-up success in the new venture creation process. Utilizing data from the three areas of China, we find that resource acquisition self-efficacy is significantly associated with start-up activity.
