Abstract

Prior literature has shown the inconsistent relation between entrepreneurial practice and entrepreneurial intention. One recent study has noted the significance of direct personal experience in entrepreneurial practice and indicated that problems experienced during practice inhibited the development of consequent entrepreneurial intentions. However, the understanding of whether and how performance accomplishment (direct experience about personal mastery) during entrepreneurial practice impacts entrepreneurial career intention has yet to be discovered. Moreover, we are unaware of who could be more inspired by performance accomplishment. Drawing on social cognitive career theory, we propose a moderated mediation model demonstrating that performance accomplishment in entrepreneurial practice impacts entrepreneurial intention via outcome expectation. This indirect effect is stronger for those with internal locus of control. Two studies (a field experiment and a correlational survey) supported our assumptions.

你的成功应该内部归因：创业实践中的绩效成就对创业意向的作用

前人的研究表明，创业行为与创业意向之间的关系并不一致。最近的一项研究指出了创业实践中直接的个人经验的重要性，并指出在实践中遇到的问题抑制了随后的创业意图的发展。然而，创业实践中的绩效成就（关于个人掌握的直接体验）是否以及如何影响创业职业意向的理解尚未被发现。此外，我们不知道谁更能受到业绩成就的启发。本文运用社会认知职业理论，提出了一个有调节的中介模型，证明创业实践中的绩效成就通过结果预期对创业意向产生影响。这种间接效应对那些有内在控制点的人更强。两项研究（实地实验和相关调查）支持了我们的假设。
