Abstract

How uncertainty affects entrepreneurship is a central theme in entrepreneurship research. However, evidence for how a culture of uncertainty avoidance (UA) influences entrepreneurial activity is mixed. Unlike prior research, we theorize and test how UA practices allocate individuals across two modes of opportunity exploitation. Our findings show that uncertainty-avoidant cultures channel individuals toward intrapreneurship rather than entrepreneurship. Moreover, we find a cross-level interaction effect with individuals’ fear of entrepreneurial failure; stronger UA practices direct failure-fearing individuals even more toward intrapreneurship. These findings shed new light on the complex relationship between UA and the prevalence of different forms of entrepreneurial activity.JEL Classification: J24; L26; M13; O43; O57.

不确定性规避与创业活动在创业与内部创业之间的分配

不确定性如何影响创业是创业研究的中心主题。然而，不确定性规避文化（UA）如何影响创业活动的证据是混合的。与先前的研究不同，我们理论化并测试了UA实践如何在两种机会利用模式中分配个体。我们的研究结果表明，不确定性回避文化引导个人走向内部创业，而不是创业。此外，我们发现个体对创业失败的恐惧存在跨层次的交互效应；更强大的UA实践会引导害怕失败的个人更倾向于内部创业。这些发现揭示了UA和不同形式的创业活动之间的复杂关系。JEL分类：J24；L26;M13;O43;O57。
