“I can't get it out of my mind” - Why, how, and when crisis rumination leads entrepreneurs to act and pivot during crises
研究了危机中创业者为何有的积极转型而有的被动应对,发现危机反刍(反复思考危机)会促使创业者采取主动应对和业务转型,尤其对习惯预防损失的创业者效果更强。
Why do some entrepreneurs pivot their business models in a crisis, while others are more passive? Integrating Conservation of Resources theory with work on crisis rumination, we developed a micro-level model to explain why entrepreneurs who are under strain due to a crisis, as indicated by experiencing crisis rumination, adopt an active approach – i.e., using active coping and engaging in pivoting. Moreover, prevention-focused entrepreneurs who are habitually more sensitive to losses are especially stimulated by crisis rumination to pivot to prevent (further) resource losses. We tested our model in an experiment and an eight-month longitudinal study with entrepreneurs during an inflation crisis.
