The Determinants of Corporate Entrepreneurial Intention within Small and Newly Established Firms
基于计划行为理论，研究小型新创企业创始人个人特征和情境因素如何影响公司创业意向，对200位创业者调查发现，情境动机、个人技能和感知环境动态性是关键因素。
In this article, we study the determinants of corporate entrepreneurial intention (CEI) within small and newly established firms. Given that in these ventures, entrepreneurial activities usually occur as a result of individuals’ behaviors, the CEI of their founders is key to explaining these companies’ ability to become engaged in entrepreneurial actions. Building on the theory of planned behavior, we conceptualize how individual characteristics and contextual variables influence CEI. Our theoretical model of the micro–foundation of CEI is tested on a sample of 200 entrepreneurs, founders of 133 new technology–based firms. Results show that CEI is influenced by situationally specific motivation, individual skills, and perceived environmental dynamism. Managerial implications are discussed.
