Cultural Differences in Thinking Outside of Box
Previous research has examined cross‐cultural influences on creative performance. Findings of this line of inquiry are, however, not consistent. While some scholars suggest that individuals from Western cultures, who tend to apply context‐independent thinking styles, produce more novel ideas given a cognitive task than individuals from Eastern cultures, who tend to apply context‐dependent thinking styles, others do not find such differences. Our …
Contextualizing emotional intelligence for commercial and social entrepreneurship
Implications of Culturally Implicit Perspective of Emotional Intelligence
This article proposes a culturally implicit perspective of emotional intelligence and introduces the notion of culture-specific emotional intelligence (CSEI). Emotional intelligence (EI) as a construct has predominantly been associated with the individual. Given that emotions are also implicit beliefs and that their experience, expression, and management are known to be driven by cultural values, we suggest EI to be culturally embedded. We theref…
Societal Ethics and Social Entrepreneurship
Using multilevel modeling and data from 26 countries that include 93,439 individual-level responses on social entrepreneurship for the year 2015, we seek to understand how societal-level ethical orientations impact the likelihood of individuals engaging in social entrepreneurship. We develop a multidimensional representation of societal ethics, in that we draw close parallels between the three institutional pillars—normative, cognitive, and regul…
Entrepreneurship in Transition Economies
Corruption has been shown to discourage entrepreneurship in transition economies and previous research corroborates that individual dispositions affect entrepreneurial intentions. It is less clear, however, to what extent individual attributes impact entrepreneurial behaviours in different institutional contexts. Here, we assess the cross-level moderation effect of corruption at the national level and attributes of entrepreneurs at the individual…
What motivates entrepreneurial entry under economic inequality? The role of human and financial capital
Based on a multilevel analysis of nearly 120,000 observations across 31 countries between 2001 and 2008, we provide novel insights into the moderating effects that economic inequality may have on the distinct roles that human and financial capital play on different types of entrepreneurship. As inequality increases, both forms of capital become weaker deterrents of entry into necessity entrepreneurship, whereas for opportunity entrepreneurship, o…
A Multi-level Empirical Study of Ethnic Diversity and Shadow Economy as Moderators of Opportunity Recognition and Entrepreneurial Entry in Transition Economies
Our multi-level model about the relationship between opportunity recognition and entrepreneurial entry in transition economies suggests that ethnic fractionalization along with the size of the shadow economy are moderators of individual-level opportunity recognition. Whereas ethnic diversity increases entrepreneurial entries, a large informal sector appears to decrease them. We also find that opportunity recognition may be a more important predic…
