摘要：Although the relationship between resilience and career success has been well documented, very
few studies relate these variables in developing economies, and especially in entrepreneurship in
Nigeria. Additionally, how commitment actually shapes this relationship is conspicuously neglected.
This empirical investigation was aimed at examining the influence of entrepreneurial career
resilience on the three facets of entrepreneurial career success, i.e. career satisfaction, perceived
career achievement and perceived financial attainment through the mediating role of entrepreneurial
career commitment. The study used cross sectional data approach to collect data from 390 active
entrepreneurs. The participants were selected using purposive sampling technique. PLS-SEM statistical
software (Smart-PLS 3) was used to test the formulated hypotheses. The findings suggested
that; entrepreneurial career resilience was a positive predictor of the career satisfaction and perceived
career achievement but it did not predict perceived financial attainment; that, entrepreneurial
career resilience predicted entrepreneurial career commitment; that, entrepreneurial career commitment
predicted career satisfaction, perceived career achievement and perceived financial attainment.
Moreover, entrepreneurial career commitment significantly influenced the relationships of
entrepreneurial career resilience and the two facets of entrepreneurial career success.
