The study examined how intellectual humility improves entrepreneurial learning from failure and how this process of learning may lead to the subsequent intention of returning to the entrepreneurship. The study also examined the moderating role of resilience in the relationship between entrepreneurial learning from failure and re-entry intention to provide a closer comprehension of psychological processes stimulating post failure recovery and entrepreneurial persistence. Intellectual humility, enable learning from failure and how resilience affects the attribute of learning translation to re-entry intention. The study employed a quantitative research design and the data were collected from 325 entrepreneurs with venture failure experience in Pakistan using purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using (PLS-SEM) to test the proposed relationships and moderation effect. The findings indicate that intellectual humility plays an important role in improving entrepreneurial learning from failure, which drives re-entry intention. In addition, the resilience moderates the relationship between learning from failure and re-entry intention whereby the relationship is stronger in entrepreneurs with high levels of resilience. This proves that cognitive openness and emotional strength are needed to turn this failure into re-entry in the future. The results imply the need to encourage entrepreneurs, educators, policymakers and incubators to help aspiring entrepreneurs develop intellectual humility and resilience to support in failure recovery, learning ability, and motivation of self-re-entry. The training programs should incorporate reflective practices and coping with emotions as well as a system of learning oriented feedback. The study provides a new approach since it combined intellectual humility and resilience into the post failure learning process of entrepreneurship. Intellectual humility allows entrepreneurs to leverage failures into great learning opportunities and eventually lead to their overall success and resilience within the highly changing entrepreneurial landscape.
