Abstract

Is corruption good or bad for entrepreneurship? Prior research has presented mixed results when exploring this question. This article takes a micro-foundational approach by focussing on how foreign entrepreneurs cognitively deal with corruption in the host environment. We argue that the entrepreneur’s motivational antecedent to engaging in corruption, or corruption propensity, represents a cognitive belief in the legitimacy and effectiveness of corruption. We find that higher corruption propensity leads to lower firm growth. In addition, the effects of corruption propensity are conditioned by the corruption difference between home and host countries. Finally, we discuss implications for research, practice and public policy.

外国企业家将如何应对腐败的压力?微观基础方法

腐败对创业是好是坏？在探讨这个问题时，先前的研究结果喜忧参半。本文采用微观基础方法，重点关注外国企业家如何在东道国环境中认知地处理腐败问题。我们认为，企业家参与腐败的动机前因，或腐败倾向，代表了对腐败合法性和有效性的认知信念。我们发现，腐败倾向越高，企业增长率越低。此外，腐败倾向的影响受到母国和东道国之间腐败差异的制约。最后，我们讨论了对研究、实践和公共政策的影响。
