Individual–Level Resources and New Business Activity: The Contingent Role of Institutional Context
研究个体资源对创业可能性的影响如何被正式与非正式制度调节，发现资源在创业导向的教育金融体系、高信任度及低等级保守文化中作用更强。
This study considers the relationship between people's access to resources and their likelihood to start a new business, and particularly how this relationship might be moderated by formal and informal institutions. Individual–level resources might be more potent for new business creation in countries with financial and educational systems that are more oriented toward entrepreneurship, higher levels of trust, and cultures that are less hierarchical and conservative. The hypotheses are tested by undertaking random–effects multilevel analyses of a multi–source data set that spans a 5–year time period (2003–2007). The study's findings offer important implications for research and practice.
