Evolving bonds: the dynamic role of place attachment in the entrepreneurial journey
研究创业者在不同人生阶段对地方的情感依恋如何随时间变化，挑战了传统静态视角，识别出三种依恋轨迹，对理解创业中的个体与环境互动有启发。
This study explores how place attachment unfolds within an entrepreneur’s narrative. This inquiry addresses a gap in understanding the dynamic nature of entrepreneurs’ bonds with their place at different life stages. By introducing a dynamic conception of time, the study challenges the static approach traditionally used to study the relationship between entrepreneur and place attachment, emphasizing that elements of attachment can shift in relevance over time. Place attachment is a fluctuating phenomenon, where transitions throughout the entrepreneurial journey influence how psychological processes vary, shaping changing interpretations across an entrepreneur’s life, including succession planning. The study identifies three distinct trajectories that contribute to a deeper understanding of the interplay between individual experiences, environmental dynamics, and societal challenges in entrepreneurship.
