Abstract

With the comprehensive promotion of rural revitalization strategy, new farmers play an increasingly critical role in Chinese farmers' entrepreneurship. Taking 438 Chinese new farmers' entrepreneurship cases as samples, this study uses fsQCA method based on entrepreneurial learning and entrepreneurial capability theories to investigate the influences of exploratory learning, exploitative learning, opportunity capability, and resource capability on new farmers' entrepreneurial performance. Findings show that entrepreneurial learning and capability jointly affect new farmers' entrepreneurial performance. There are three configuration paths towards high entrepreneurial performance: resource capability path, exploratory learning and opportunity capability path, and the exploitative learning and opportunity capability path. The findings reveal the synergistic effects of entrepreneurial learning and capability on performance, and deepen the research on influencing mechanism and path of new farmers’ entrepreneurial performance.

创业学习和创业能力如何交互影响中国新农民创业绩效：基于fsQCA的配置分析

随着乡村振兴战略的全面推进，新型农民在中国农民创业中发挥着越来越重要的作用。本研究以438个中国新农民创业案例为样本，采用基于创业学习和创业能力理论的fsQCA方法，考察了探索性学习、剥削性学习、机会能力和资源能力对新农民创业绩效的影响。研究发现，创业学习和创业能力共同影响新农民的创业绩效。高创业绩效的配置路径有三种：资源能力路径、探索性学习与机会能力路径、开发性学习与机会能力路径。研究结果揭示了创业学习和创业能力对绩效的协同效应，深化了对新农民创业绩效影响机制和路径的研究。
