We develop a typology that categorizes resignees into four groups as 'genius,' 'traditional,' 'forced,' and 'trapped' in the context of great resignation. We examine the relationships between different types of resignees and entrepreneurial intention and action. Furthermore, we argue and test that anticipated regret and dormant tie reactivation moderate the relationships. An analysis of survey data from 781 respondents indicates that the types of resignees exert varying influences on entrepreneurial intention and action. Our hypotheses are largely supported, and the theoretical and practical implications of our findings are discussed.
