Abstract

Communities of interest are heralded as hotbeds for entrepreneurship. However, the social identification members of such communities are subject to may be detrimental to their proclivity to pursuing ideas through firm foundation and, thus, their propensity to become entrepreneurs. While other-oriented members tend to be associated with firm foundation, the association is significantly reduced and even negatively associated with firm foundation when the individual strongly identifies with a community of interest with collective values due to a shift in their attention toward community engagement as opposed to firm foundation. This paper draws from field studies, a problem-solving task, and survey data to empirically support our hypotheses. The study highlights the importance of integrating social identification and other-orientation when studying communities of interest in relation to entrepreneurship.

创业优势：利益共同体中社会认同和他人导向的证据

兴趣社区被誉为创业的温床。然而，兴趣社区成员的社会认同可能不利于他们通过建立公司来追求创意，从而影响他们成为企业家的倾向。虽然以他人为导向的成员往往与企业基础相关联，但当个人强烈认同一个具有集体价值观的利益群体时，这种关联就会大大降低，甚至与企业基础呈负相关，这是因为他们的注意力转向了社区参与而非企业基础。本文通过实地研究、问题解决任务和调查数据来实证支持我们的假设。本研究强调了在研究与创业相关的兴趣社区时，将社会认同与他人导向相结合的重要性。
