Institutions and social entrepreneurship: The role of institutional voids, institutional support, and institutional configurations
研究了国家层面的正式与非正式制度如何共同影响社会创业活动，发现制度支持比制度空白更能促进社会创业，对理解不同国家社会创业差异有参考价值。
We develop the institutional configuration perspective to understand which national contexts facilitate social entrepreneurship (SE). We confirm joint effects on SE of formal regulatory (government activism), informal cognitive (postmaterialist cultural values), and informal normative (socially supportive cultural norms, or weak-tie social capital) institutions in a multilevel study of 106,484 individuals in 26 nations. We test opposing propositions from the institutional void and institutional support perspectives. Our results underscore the importance of resource support from both formal and informal institutions, and highlight motivational supply side influences on SE. They advocate greater consideration of institutional configurations in institutional theory and comparative entrepreneurship research.
