Abstract

The article focuses on the interdependencies within entrepreneurial orientation. The objective of the study was to verify the relationship between risk-taking and innovativeness, on the one hand, and proactiveness on the other hand, as three elements of entrepreneurial orientation of internationalized firms. The main research question the article answers is: In what way do risk-taking and innovativeness influence proactiveness within the interrelated three-dimensional construct of entrepreneurial orientation? The article employs structural equation modelling (CB-SEM) to analyse survey results based on a stratified sampling of 355 internationalized firms from Poland. The empirical findings demonstrate the positive impact of risk-taking (RISK) and innovativeness (INNO) on proactiveness (PROACT) within the interrelated three-dimensional construct of entrepreneurial orientation. Moreover, the level of risk-taking (RISK) and innovativeness (INNO) accounts for 36% of the variation in proactiveness (PROACT), which is considered high in social sciences, including business studies.

内部创业导向:冒险和创新是否影响主动性?

本文重点研究了创业导向中的相互依赖关系。本研究的目的是验证风险承担与创新、主动性作为国际化企业创业取向的三个要素之间的关系。本文回答的主要研究问题是:在创业导向的相互关联的三维结构中，冒险性和创新性是如何影响主动性的?本文采用结构方程模型(CB-SEM)来分析基于波兰355家国际化公司分层抽样的调查结果。实证结果表明，在创业导向的相互关联的三维结构中，冒险性(RISK)和创新性(INNO)对主动性(PROACT)有正向影响。此外，冒险(RISK)和创新(INNO)水平占主动性(PROACT)变化的36%，这在包括商业研究在内的社会科学中被认为是很高的。
