Abstract

Colors may enhance entrepreneurial behavior. It is well known that creativity can lead to entrepreneurial behavior, and it is argued in the psychology literature that colors can influence an individual’s creativity. In this paper, we explore the empirical relationship between colors and entrepreneurial behavior under the literature-based hypothesis that yellows and oranges enhance an individual’s creative emotions. Our findings open the door for future research on the psychology of colors and entrepreneurship.

期刊介绍： Small Business Economics: An Entrepreneurship Journal (SBEJ) publishes original, rigorous theoretical and empirical research addressing all aspects of entrepreneurship and small business economics, with a special emphasis on the economic and societal relevance of research findings for scholars, practitioners and policy makers. SBEJ covers a broad scope of topics, ranging from the core themes of the entrepreneurial process and new venture creation to other topics like self-employment, family firms, small and medium-sized enterprises, innovative start-ups, and entrepreneurial finance. SBEJ welcomes scientific studies at different levels of analysis, including individuals (e.g. entrepreneurs'' characteristics and occupational choice), firms (e.g., firms’ life courses and performance, innovation, and global issues like digitization), macro level (e.g., institutions and public policies within local, regional, national and international contexts), as well as cross-level dynamics. As a leading entrepreneurship journal, SBEJ welcomes cross-disciplinary research. Officially cited as: Small Bus Econ
