Does Congruence with an Entrepreneur Social Identity Encourage Positive Emotion Under Environmental Dynamism?
研究企业家自我概念与企业家社会身份的一致性如何影响其积极情绪,并发现环境动态性会增强这种正向关系。
Entrepreneurial identities and emotions can have profound effects on entrepreneurs. We examine how positive emotion (PE) among entrepreneurs may be influenced by the congruence they experience between their self-concept and the entrepreneur social identity. Given that uncertainty in the business environment can exert powerful effects throughout the entrepreneurial process, we further test the moderating impact of environmental dynamism on the relationship between identity congruence and PE. Results from a study of 175 entrepreneurs indicate that entrepreneurs experiencing greater congruence have higher levels of PE, and that this relationship is stronger in more dynamic environments.
