A Gender-Aware Study of Self-Leadership Strategies among High-Growth Entrepreneurs
研究早期高增长创业者中男女在自我目标设定和自我提示策略上的差异，发现这些策略对知识产权开发的影响因性别而异，对创业者和政策制定者有参考价值。
We apply a gender‐aware framework to examine the self‐leadership strategies men and women early stage high‐growth entrepreneurs employ as they develop innovations. Utilizing a matched‐pair sample of early stage entrepreneurs operating firms in high‐technology business incubators, our results suggest that female and male entrepreneurs have significantly different self‐goal‐setting and self‐cueing behaviors. Results also suggest male entrepreneurs who use stronger goal‐setting behaviors increase their intellectual property development to a greater extent than female founders. Further, for female entrepreneurs who use greater self‐cueing, the negative relationship realized with intellectual property development is lower than for male entrepreneurs.
