Entrepreneurial stressors as information: An integrated cognitive framework of strategic action
本研究提出“压力源即信息”视角，整合双信息加工理论与创业工作要求-资源模型，发现创业压力源通过战略决策全面性间接影响战略创业行为，工作投入和企业绩效是关键边界条件。
How and when do entrepreneurial stressors shape strategic action? Integrating Dual Information Processing Theory with the entrepreneurial Job Demands-Resources model, we advance a “stressor-as-information” perspective to develop an integrated moderated mediation framework in which entrepreneurial stressors indirectly influence strategic entrepreneurial behaviors via strategic decision comprehensiveness, with work engagement and firm performance serving as key boundary conditions. Using multi-informant, multi-wave survey data from 283 entrepreneurs and their co-founders, we find support for the proposed model. While acknowledging that cognitive processes are inferred through behavioral manifestations, our findings suggest that moving beyond purely motivational accounts of entrepreneurial stress can enrich understanding of how and when the pressures inherent to entrepreneurship translate into strategic processes and offer new insights into the micro-foundations of strategic entrepreneurship.
