Who Needs Security? Entrepreneurial Minorities, Security Values, and Firm Performance
研究少数族裔与多数族裔创业者成功率差异的原因，发现安全价值观完全中介了种族与企业绩效的关系，且资本获取解释了安全价值观对绩效的影响。
In this study, the authors seek to enhance their understanding of why minority and majority entrepreneurs succeed at different rates, by going beyond surface-level demographic variables and investigating deep-level differences between these groups. The present research suggests that minorities exhibit differences in security values. This helps explain previous evidence that minority-owned small businesses perform worse than their majority-owned counterparts. Results suggest that security values fully mediate the relationship between ethnicity and firm performance. In addition, the authors’ analysis suggests that access to capital helps explain the influence of security values on firm performance. An explanatory model is proposed.
