This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

This study aims to examine the role of entrepreneurial inten- and motivations in the interplay between humane- personal values and entrepreneurial behavior. Using from 593 individuals in 2010 and 2019, we uncover how when humane-oriented personal values (conservation and -transcendence) lead to self-employment. Results suggest entrepreneurial intentions function as a mechanism that self-employment decisions for individuals with humane- personal values and that this effect is stronger when engage in opportunity-based entrepreneurship. Finally, we the implications of these findings for the literature on values and the intention-action link.
