Abstract

Although it seems instinctual for individuals to leverage their international experience and time in assignment to enhance their entrepreneurial alertness (EA), we present an admonition of such strategies. Data from 210 expatriates reveal the nonlinear effects of these predictors on EA. Although some international experience and time in assignment heighten EA, too much of it has a diminished marginal effect (negative squared term). Based on the antecedents-benefits-costs (ABC) framework, these findings refute a simple linear view of the effects of international experience and time in assignment while providing pivotal theoretical and practical implications. Finally, these relationships are impacted by the perceived institutional distance between the home and host countries.

经验困境：对创业警觉性前因的非线性探索

虽然这似乎是本能的个人利用他们的国际经验和时间的分配，以提高他们的创业警觉性（EA），我们提出了这种策略的警告。来自210名外派人员的数据揭示了这些预测因素对EA的非线性影响。尽管一些国际经验和外派时间会提高EA，但过多的国际经验会降低边际效应（负平方项）。基于前因-收益-成本（ABC）框架，这些发现反驳了国际经验和外派时间影响的简单线性观点，同时提供了关键的理论和实践意义。最后，这些关系受到母国和东道国之间的制度距离的影响。
