Abstract: This article provides a review of 104 academic articles on entrepreneurial passion published between 2009 and 2022 in leading entrepreneurship journals in both Francophone and Anglo-Saxon reviews. Additionally, it aims to offer theoretical insights into several questions that are rarely addressed from an integrative perspective: what is the essence of the concept of "entrepreneurial passion"? What are we talking about when we talk about entrepreneurial passion? What are entrepreneurs passionate about? Why are some individuals more passionate about entrepreneurship than others? What are the positive and negative consequences of entrepreneurial passion? Furthermore, in addition to identifying current research trends on entrepreneurial passion, this article also suggests future research avenues that will contribute to enhancing understanding of this concept.
