Entrepreneurial Orientation: The Dimensions’ Shared Effects in Explaining Firm Performance
使用共同性分析，将创业导向（创新性、主动性、风险承担）对企业绩效的影响分解为各维度的独特效应和共同效应，并在低技术、高技术及多行业样本中验证了共同效应的实证重要性。
We shed new light on the structure of the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation (EO) and firm performance and how this relationship varies across contexts. Using commonality analysis, we decompose the variance in performance—in terms of the effects of innovativeness, proactiveness, and risk taking—into parts that are attributable to unique variations in these dimensions (unique effects) and those attributable to covariation between these dimensions (shared effects). By demonstrating the empirical relevance of unique, bilaterally shared, and commonly shared effects in a heterogeneous sample of low–tech, high–tech, and multi–sector firms, we consolidate existing conceptualizations of EO and propose an extension of the extant theoretical views of the construct.
