Informal Institutions and Their Comparative Influences on Social and Commercial Entrepreneurship: The Role of In‐Group Collectivism and Interpersonal Trust
基于58,918份来自27国的调查数据,研究发现社会集体主义降低商业创业概率但提升社会创业概率,而社会信任对两者均有正向影响,且对社会创业的影响更强。
We use insights from institutional theory to study how societal collectivism and societal trust facilitate or constrain the emergence of social entrepreneurship (SE) and commercial entrepreneurship (CE). Using 58, 918 individual‐level responses obtained from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) survey of 27 countries and supplementing with country‐level data obtained from the World Values Survey (WVS) and the Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) study, our results from multilevel analyses demonstrate that while societal collectivism decreases the likelihood of CE, it increases that of SE. Further, while societal trust influences both SE and CE positively, the strength of this positive influence is felt more strongly on SE than CE.
