Entrepreneurship Addiction: Shedding Light on the Manifestation of the “Dark Side” in Work-Behavior Patterns
研究了创业成瘾这一概念，即对创业活动的强迫性参与，并区分其与工作狂、创业激情和工作投入的不同，为探索创业者的潜在心理阴暗面提供了研究议程。
We examine the notion of entrepreneurship addiction, the compulsive engagement in entrepreneurial activities. We address what is unique about this type of behavioral addiction compared to related work-pattern concepts of workaholism, entrepreneurial passion, and work engagement. We identify new and promising areas to expand understanding of what factors lead to entrepreneurship addiction, what entrepreneurship addiction leads to, how to effectively study entrepreneurship addiction, and other applications where entrepreneurship addiction might be relevant to study. These help to set a research agenda that more fully addresses a potential “dark side” psychological factor among some entrepreneurs.
