Self-sabotaging behavior among poverty entrepreneurs
The purpose of this conceptuabsl study is to explore a model linking systemic poverty conditions, the transition to becoming a business owner and entrepreneur, the tendency toward self-sabotage, and outcomes for both the venture and the entrepreneur’s well-being. Specifically, we introduce the concept of transition costs as a key driver of individual behavior. Using transition theory, we investigate the tendency toward self-sabotage when these co…
A racial identity approach to entrepreneurship
From poverty trap to commodity trap
Building on disadvantage theory and the capabilities framework, the research explores how two critical aspects of the poverty experience, experienced scarcity, and a limited opportunity horizon, can result in the creation of ventures that struggle to achieve marketplace success, which in turn detracts from the entrepreneur’s perceived well-being. These business struggles are traced to a commodity trap, where the business is not well differentiate…
Economic equity and people with disabilities
Here, we develop two new social indices: the ADA PARC Absolute Economic Opportunity Index and the ADA PARC Relative Economic Opportunity Index. These indices allow us novel examinations of economic equity between people with and without disabilities within a U.S. state and between people with disabilities in different states using aggregations of multiple component economic indicators. These represent the first efforts to offer U.S. indices of th…

Entrepreneurship Education in the Transformation of Incarcerated Individuals
This article draws upon the theories of entrepreneurial cognition, planned behavior, and criminal desistance to understand the role of entrepreneurship education in the behavioral and cognitive transformation of incarcerated individuals. Specifically, this article considers how participation in an entrepreneurship education program should influence entrepreneurial opportunity recognition, cognitive transformation, and institutional misconduct. It…
The Liability of Poorness
Entrepreneurship is increasingly emphasized as a pathway out of poverty. However, the complex, multi‐faceted nature of the poverty experience has important implications for the ability to launch and sustain viable businesses. All entrepreneurs must overcome the liabilities of newness and smallness, as reflected in a lack of legitimacy with stakeholders, inadequate resources and capabilities, an unclear identity, misunderstood roles and unclear ro…
Poverty and Entrepreneurship in Developed Economies
We explore how developed economies can better realize the entrepreneurial potential of the poor by emphasizing the nexus of public policy and community action. It is argued this potential is not reached only because of the endemic nature of poverty, but also due to institutional constraints or voids. The complex nature of poverty and its implications for creating sustainable enterprises are examined. Policy levers and community support elements a…

Complicating Narratives
In this concluding essay, we review the case studies presented in this Special Issue and examine whether community psychology has a distinctive approach to defining and resolving the core ethical canons of the Belmont Report (1979): Respect for Persons, Beneficence, and Justice. For two of these Principles—Respect for Persons and Beneficence—community psychologists elaborate upon and extend their definitions to consider their meaning in community…
Are Some Countries More Prone to Pressure Evaluators Than Others? Comparing Findings From the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, and Switzerland
Pressure on evaluators has been investigated recently by surveys in the USA, the UK, Germany, and Switzerland. This study compares the results of those studies regarding pressure on evaluators in different countries. The findings suggest that independence of evaluations does not exist for many respondents. Moreover, the person who commissioned the evaluator for evaluation is identified by all studies as the primary influencing stakeholder in the …
Entrepreneurial Intensity
Organizations vary in terms of how entrepreneurial they are. The concept of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) seeks to capture this variability by focusing on the extent to which a company is innovative, risk‐taking and proactive. This article argues that EO fails to fully capture how entrepreneurship is actually manifested in organizations, as it incorporates only the degree of entrepreneurship. To address this limitation, the term entrepreneuria…
Entrepreneurship as Experience
Venture creation is a lived experience. Entrepreneurs encounter a wide array of events, many of which are novel, unexpected and uncontrolled, as their ventures unfold. Such events can be characterized in terms of their volume, velocity and volatility. The processing of these events finds the entrepreneur attempting to make sense and give meaning to novel developments. This processing involves cognitive, affective and physiological elements, with …

Linking Social-Problem Models to Needs-Assessment Methodology in the Teaching of Evaluation
More Than the Beatles
This essay explores the implications of the zeitgeist that emerged in the United States during the 1960s for the conceptualization of ethical issues in evaluation and community psychology, and how perspectives from the latter field might enhance ethical practice in the former. Special attention is paid to articulations of social justice, professional standards, and cultural competence, and how general exhortations for ethical, just behavior in ev…
You Want Me to Do What? Evaluators and the Pressure to Misrepresent Findings
Evaluators' experiences with being pressured by a key stakeholder to misrepresent findings were investigated in an anonymous survey of a random sample of over 2500 American Evaluation Association members; a response rate of 37% was obtained. Overall, 42% of the respondents had encountered misrepresentation pressure, with 70% of this subgroup having faced it on more than one occasion. Misrepresentation pressure usually focused on making evaluation…
The Good, the Bad, and the Evaluator
This essay explores the contributions of Evaluation Practice and the American Journal of Evaluation to our understanding of evaluation ethics. The review is organized according to the five Guiding Principles for Evaluators (Systematic Inquiry, Competence, Integrity/Honesty, Respect for People, and Responsibilities for General and Public Welfare) and identifies key themes within each domain. The value of case-based ethical analysis is highlighted,…
The Fifth Guiding Principle
The Dilemma of Growth
In recent years the number of women-owned firms with employees has expanded at three times the rate of all employer firms. Yet women remain underrepresented in their proportion of high-growth firms. A number of plausible explanations exist. To develop richer insights, a two-stage research project was undertaken. A mail survey was sent to a sample of female entrepreneurs to assess motives, obstacles, goals and aspirations, needs, and business iden…
Beyond Achievement
Ethical Challenges
The Ethical Challenges scenario in the June 2004 issue of the American Journal of Evaluation focused on an evaluator-client disagreement concerning the wisdom of having consumer representation on a steering committee that would help plan and oversee an evaluation in an agency providing community-based residential services to the chronically mentally ill. In her response to the commentaries on this case, Gillian Kerr encourages us to explore in gr…

The Question of Value in Social Marketing
Economic theory fails to recognize value in social marketing, it is argued, because these beliefs are widely held: (1) social marketers do not consider consumer needs, (2) they are motivated by social welfare, (3) the price mechanism does not fully operate in the social sphere, (4) there is usually insufficient competition, and (5) social marketing is less effective in market control. Based on quality-of-life (QOL) theory, several normative princ…

The competent community revisited
This case study analyzes an attempt to develop the ability of community organizations and groups to coordinate their efforts in implementing state legislation for the deinstitutionalization of status offenders. The intervention was carried out by a “networker,” whose responsibilities closely resembled those associated with the “ombudsman” role proposed by Sarason and Lorentz (1979). Using a strategy emphasizing locality development (Rothman, 1968…
