Tech-entrepreneurs’ psychological contracts with their institutional environment: Insights from Sweden
通过对11位瑞典高科技创业者的访谈，研究发现他们对社会和政府抱有未满足的隐性期望，导致挫败感和不公平感，揭示了制度环境如何塑造创业者的心理契约。
This qualitative interview study examines how high-tech entrepreneurs in Sweden ( N = 11) perceive their contextual prerequisites and the expectations they hold towards their broader social and institutional environment. Findings from a thematic analysis reveal that participants have implicit expectations towards society and the state that are not being met, leading to frustrations, perceptions of unfairness, and cynicism. Through the lens of psychological contract theory, we demonstrate how the contextual framework shapes expectations and experiences of entrepreneurs, contributing to both psychological contract theory and to the contextualization of entrepreneurship.
