Psychological Resilience and Its Downstream Effects for Business Survival in Nascent Entrepreneurship
基于Fredrickson的拓展建构理论，通过追踪2年的新创企业家数据，发现心理韧性通过认知和行为机制帮助创业者应对压力，提升企业生存率。
While scholars frequently argue that nascent entrepreneurs will be more successful if they are resilient, this assumption remains untested and the mechanisms for its potential benefits are unknown. To establish the utility of this psychological construct, we draw from Fredrickson's broaden-and-build theory (1998 ) to develop and test theory on the processes through which psychological resilience influences first-time entrepreneurs' business survival. Results of a time-lagged study of nascent entrepreneurs followed over a 2-year period support this theory, highlighting the cognitive and behavioral ways in which psychological resilience helps nascent entrepreneurs become less vulnerable to their stressful circumstances.
