The Effects of Strategic Decision Making on Entrepreneurial Self–Efficacy
研究创业者的战略决策方式如何影响其创业自我效能感，发现让员工参与、更全面和利用最新信息的决策方式能增强创业者的自信，且初步证据表明这种自信能提升企业绩效。
This study builds on the construct of entrepreneurial self–efficacy (ESE), which measures the degree to which individuals believe they are capable of performing the tasks associated with new–venture management. I examined whether entrepreneurs’ levels of ESE are influenced by the ways in which their ventures make strategic decisions. Results show that entrepreneurs exhibit a stronger belief in their own abilities when their ventures make decisions in ways that involve other employees, that are more comprehensive, and that incorporate more current information. Exploratory analyses also provide preliminary evidence that ESE enhances firm performance.
