Do openness to experience and recognizing opportunities have the same genetic source?
利用双胞胎样本,发现机会识别能力的遗传性很大程度上通过经验开放性的遗传影响来中介,这对企业的人才选拔和培训有重要启示。
Abstract Recognizing opportunities for new businesses is an important part of the entrepreneurial process, one that researchers seek to explain and human resource managers seek to encourage. In this study, we examined whether the same genetic factors that affect openness to experience also influence recognizing opportunities. We applied bivariate genetics techniques to a sample of twins and found that a substantial part of the heritability of recognizing opportunities is mediated through genetic influences on openness to experience. Evidence of genetic effects on opportunity recognition has important implications for how companies might think about selection and training and raises important ethical issues in human resource management. ©2010 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
