Mindfulness and Taking Action to Start a New Business
基于两轮调查数据，研究发现正念特质较高的人更不容易启动创业行动，但一旦开始行动，其行动数量与低正念者相当，有创业经验者甚至更多。
Mindfulness, meaning a receptive attention to and awareness of present events and experience, is reported to have a wide range of benefits, but it has been suggested that it could prove costly in terms of task performance. This article analyzes how dispositional mindfulness relates to taking entrepreneurial action. Based on two waves of survey data, we find that mindful individuals are less likely to engage in entrepreneurial action than less mindful individuals, but when they do start to act, they take as many actions as individuals who score low on trait mindfulness, and even more if they have entrepreneurial experience.
