Abstract

Entrepreneurial intention is a key research question in entrepreneurship. Previous studies have proven the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to explain entrepreneurial intention. Scholars have thus focused on analyzing factors to develop the three antecedents of TPB, one of which is social capital. However, research has barely considered social capital online. We extend research by exploring the effect of social capital on these antecedents and on entrepreneurial intention, and by analyzing the differences in these influences between social capital online and offline. Using partial least squares and commonality analysis for 587 individuals in Spain, we find that social capital influences these antecedents and entrepreneurial intention. Furthermore, social capital online has a greater effect in attitude toward entrepreneurship, a similar effect on perceived behavioral control, and a lesser effect on social norms than social capital offline. Finally, social capital online has a greater influence on entrepreneurial intention than social capital offline. JEL CLASSIFICATION: M1 Business Administration, M13 New Firms • Startups

社会资本对创业意向的影响及其前因:线上与线下社会资本的差异

创业意向是创业学中的一个重要研究问题。以往的研究已经证明计划行为理论可以解释创业意向。因此，学者们关注于分析发展TPB的三个前因的因素，其中一个是社会资本。然而，研究几乎没有考虑到网络上的社会资本。我们进一步探讨了社会资本对这些前因和创业意向的影响，并分析了这些影响在线上和线下社会资本之间的差异。通过对西班牙587名个体的偏最小二乘和共性分析，我们发现社会资本对这些前因由和创业意向有影响。此外，线上社会资本对创业态度的影响更大，对感知行为控制的影响相似，而对社会规范的影响较小。最后，线上社会资本对创业意愿的影响大于线下社会资本。JEL分类:M1企业管理，M13新公司•创业公司
