Responsible entrepreneurship, social innovation, and entrepreneurial performance: Does commitment to SDGs matter?
研究负责任创业如何通过社会创新影响创业绩效,并发现企业对可持续发展目标的承诺越强,社会创新对绩效的提升作用越明显。
Abstract In this study, we investigate the effect of responsible entrepreneurship on entrepreneurial performance through the mediating mechanism of social innovation. Further, we explore the moderating role of a firm's degree of sustainable development goals (SDGs) commitment on the relationship between social innovation and entrepreneurial performance. Data were collected from 220 firms in Ghana using a time‐lagged design. Our results show that responsible entrepreneurship has an indirect effect on entrepreneurial performance through social innovation. Moreover, the effect of social innovation on entrepreneurial performance is amplified when a firm's degree of SDGs commitment is higher. These findings contribute to the responsible entrepreneurship and social innovation literature.
