Entrepreneurship, Innovation and Organizational Behaviour

Abstract

orientation strength, defined as the level of agreement in the shared perceptions of entrepreneurial orientation, as a boundary condition in the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and performance. With a sample of 2,000 participants and four field studies, the authors provide evidence for a valid and reliable 10-item multidimensional measure of entrepreneurial orientation, the EO-10, and identifies entrepreneurial orientation strength as a moderator in the relationship with performances. The study contributes to advancing the conversation devoted to the conceptual development and measurement of entrepreneurial orientation by bridging the past and the future of the field. contributes to cross-cultural investigations into corporate social responsibility when dealing with specific stakeholder groups. The study is conducted through a survey of SMEs from Bulgaria, Russia and Serbia, con-tributing to unveil corporate behaviours from firms in post-socialist states. The authors propose a multi-criterion ranking method on five dimensions: environmental, social, economic, stakeholder and voluntariness. The results show more significant differences in the attitudes of employees from different countries, rather than when the size of the company is taken into consideration.
