Individual entrepreneurial orientation (Ind.EO) provides a promising framework for scholars and practitioners to examine how individuals with entrepreneurial tendencies create new businesses or transform existing ones through modifications in business practices, whether individually, in teams, or in managerial positions. This paper aims to systematically review and synthesize the existing literature on Ind.EO, identify key research gaps, and outline potential directions for future studies. By analyzing 210 articles from top-tier journals (Q1 and Q2) in the Web of Science and Scopus databases, this review categorizes the research according to six domains: construct development, performance and outcomes, entrepreneurial process, institutional and social contexts, personal-level variables, and entrepreneurial education and learning. We contribute by identifying key research domains within the Ind.EO literature and offering a unique categorization. Additionally, we develop a research agenda that includes insights from our review, integration into a well-established framework, and validation of the proposed research questions through scholars’ feedback. © 2025 The Author(s).
