Abstract

PurposeAdopting more sustainable and social-oriented perspectives is crucial for the emergence of the so-called humane entrepreneurial ecosystems (HEEs), the last ones supporting the improvement of both economic, environmental and social wealth. Entrepreneurs act as keystone players in each entrepreneurial ecosystem, thus the emergence of Humane Entrepreneurship (HumEnt) is crucial in shaping HEEs. Given the role of culture in affecting HumEnt, the relationships between Humane Orientation (HO) – as defined in the GLOBE project – and the basic components of Humane Entrepreneurship (HumEnt) were, particularly, explored in a selected sample of countries. Both Intellectual Capital (IC) and knowledge management (KM) perspectives were adopted in pursuing the research goal.Design/methodology/approachThe study approaches this by the mean of the Ward method with Euclidean squared distance and the k-means method. The GLOBE project, the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM), the Environmental Performance Index (EPI) and the International Social Survey Program (ISSP) were used as data sources. Correlations between HO “as is” scores and each components of HumEnt were checked for the world sample (N = 36), as well as for the groups of innovation-driven countries (N = 17) and European countries (N = 14).FindingsResearch results show a conditional confirmation of the developed hypotheses, depending on countries cultural levels of HO, with a moderating role exercised by the economic development on the relationship between culture and HumEnt.Originality/valueGiven the increasing pressure of fundamental societal challenges, such as climate change, poverty and increasing inequality within and between countries intensified by pandemic (UN report, 2021), integrating the more traditional approaches to profit seeking with the more sustainable and human-centric perspective is a priority for both scholars and society at large. Previous researches do not provide explanation about the contextual factors responsible for the emergence of more humane-oriented entrepreneurial ecosystems, especially when referring to culture. This article broadens our understanding about the reason why both HumEntr and HEEs differently arise and develop in different cultural contexts.
走向“人性化”创业生态系统的出现。来自不同文化背景的证据
采用更可持续和面向社会的观点对于所谓的人文创业生态系统(HEEs)的出现至关重要,后者支持经济、环境和社会财富的改善。企业家在每个创业生态系统中都扮演着关键角色,因此人文创业(HumEnt)的出现对塑造人文创业至关重要。鉴于文化在影响人文方面的作用,特别在一些选定的国家样本中探讨了全球项目所界定的人文取向与人文企业家精神的基本组成部分之间的关系。本文采用了知识资本(IC)和知识管理(KM)两种视角来实现研究目标。设计/方法/方法本研究通过Ward方法与欧几里得平方距离和k-means方法的均值来实现这一点。数据来源包括GLOBE项目、全球创业监测、环境绩效指数和国际社会调查方案。我们对世界样本(N = 36)以及创新驱动国家(N = 17)和欧洲国家(N = 14)的HO“现状”得分与HumEnt各组成部分之间的相关性进行了检查。研究结果表明,发展的假设有条件地得到了证实,这取决于国家的文化水平,经济发展对文化与HumEnt之间的关系起着调节作用。独创性/价值鉴于气候变化、贫困以及国家内部和国家之间日益加剧的不平等等基本社会挑战的压力越来越大(联合国报告,2021年),将更传统的追求利润的方法与更可持续和以人为中心的观点相结合,是学者和整个社会的优先事项。以往的研究并没有解释导致更多以人为本的创业生态系统出现的背景因素,特别是在涉及文化时。这篇文章拓宽了我们对人类文化和高等教育在不同文化背景下产生和发展的原因的理解。
