Abstract

Abstract Background and Purpose: The concept of entrepreneurship within the public sector is one of the most fiercely debated areas of entrepreneurial research. It has been studied across several academic disciplines such as in management, public administration and political economy, among others. However, while academic output has increased, we found no prior studies providing a clear mapping of the field. Therefore, this research sought to comprehensively examine all peer reviewed articles on public sector entrepreneurship. Methods: Using the Scopus scientific database, our analysis included 133 articles from 1982 to 2022. Following a thorough manual review process, we used VOSviewer to provide a mapping of the field, before identifying research gaps and suggesting directions for future research. Our scientific mapping revealed the leading and emerging thematic clusters in the field. Results: Our results revealed that the leading themes in public sector entrepreneurship include innovation, entrepreneurship, public sector, governance, reinventing government, and public organisations, while emerging trends include public health entrepreneurship, public health innovation, public choice, sustainability, and entrepreneurial orientation, among others. Conclusion: Our research provides useful insights to all researchers interested in examining entrepreneurship within the public sector or in non-profit organisations.

公共部门企业家精神:科学测绘和研究议程

摘要背景和目的：公共部门创业的概念是创业研究中争论最激烈的领域之一。它已经在管理、公共行政和政治经济学等多个学科中进行了研究。然而，尽管学术产出有所增加，但我们发现之前的研究没有提供该领域的清晰地图。因此，本研究试图全面审查所有关于公共部门创业的同行评审文章。方法：使用Scopus科学数据库，我们的分析包括1982年至2022年的133篇文章。在彻底的手动审查过程之后，我们使用VOSviewer提供了该领域的地图，然后确定了研究差距并为未来的研究提出了方向。我们的科学测绘揭示了该领域领先和新兴的专题组。结果：我们的研究结果显示，公共部门创业的主要主题包括创新、创业、公共部门、治理、重塑政府和公共组织，而新兴趋势包括公共卫生创业、公共卫生创新、公共选择、可持续性和创业导向等。结论：我们的研究为所有有兴趣研究公共部门或非营利组织创业的研究人员提供了有用的见解。
