On the Edge of Destruction: An Impaired-Regulation Model of Destructive Entrepreneurial Action
研究创业者因决策调节受损而从事破坏性行为（如损害他人）的机制，基于目标达成和道德脱离理论构建模型，解释为何某些创业者更易涉足此类行为及其后续反应。
Entrepreneurial action can be directed toward identifying, generating, and exploiting potential business opportunities that can cause harm to others. Over and above the “rules of the game” of the economic system, we theorize on destructive entrepreneurial actions that result from entrepreneurs’ impaired regulation of their decision making. Specifically, we build on the entrepreneurial action literature and draw on regulation theories of goal attainment and moral disengagement to develop an impaired-regulation model of destructive entrepreneurial actions. This model contributes to the entrepreneurship literature by providing new insights into (a) why some entrepreneurs are more susceptible to engaging their ventures in destructive entrepreneurial actions, (b) everyday entrepreneurs (the “who”) engaging in destructive entrepreneurial actions (i.e., the “how” and “why”), and (c) when and why some entrepreneurs respond to their destructive entrepreneurial actions by becoming repentant do-gooders while others grow into serial offenders.
