Team entrepreneurial passion and learning: A social cognitive theory perspective on collective emotions and behaviors
基于社会认知理论，研究了团队创业激情如何影响单环和双环团队创业学习，以及团队帮助行为的调节作用，基于101个新创企业团队的446名成员数据。
Entrepreneurship is often a team effort, but our understanding of the relationship between the emotional and cognitive processes involved remains rather limited. This article presents an exploration of the team-level mechanisms linking entrepreneurial passion and learning. Drawing on social cognitive theory, we studied the role played by team entrepreneurial passion in single- and double-loop team entrepreneurial learning and the moderating effect of team helping. A team-level analysis was performed on data drawn from 446 members of 101 new venture teams in an accelerator for high technology firms in Beijing, China. Our findings show that the shared positive feelings dimension of team entrepreneurial passion is positively related to double-loop team entrepreneurial learning more strongly than it is to its single-loop variant, whereas the collective identity centrality dimension has a stronger impact on single-loop than on double-loop learning. Team helping was found to moderate the relationship between team entrepreneurial passion and learning.
