Abstract

Purpose: Psychological resources are determinant for the entrepreneur' individual performance. Psychological capital has been seen as one of the pillars of entrepreneurship and this is one of the reasons that the study of the relationship between these two constructs has become emerging. This systematic literature review contributes to a more robust and grounded understanding of this relationship.Design/methodology/approach: This systematic review used the PRISMA Protocol guidelines and the VOSviewer software for cluster analysis. The articles gathered in this article cover the annual period from 2006 to 2021 and allowed the identification and analysis of the main themes on psychological capital and entrepreneurship.Findings: The systematic analysis brought to light integrative relationships between the concepts of positive psychological capital and entrepreneurship, which allowed the construction of an overview of this spectrum of study. This resulted in four large groups of analysis that point the direction of the literature. The main contributions resulted in the presentation of principles and recent scientific ideas, which consider psychological capital as a valuable resource for entrepreneurship.Originality/value: This research provides an incisive understanding with the aim of being a starting point for deepening knowledge about the synergies of studies between psychological capital and the entrepreneurship research agenda. Finally, a set of future lines of study is also proposed.

期刊介绍： The aim of Intangible Capital is to publish theoretical and empirical articles that contribute to contrast, extend and build theories that contribute to advance our understanding of phenomena related with management, and the management of intangibles, in organizations, from the perspectives of strategic management, human resource management, psychology, education, IT, supply chain management and accounting. The scientific research in management is grounded on theories developed from perspectives taken from a diversity of social sciences. Intangible Capital is open to publish articles that, from sociology, psychology, economics and industrial organization contribute to the scientific development of management and organizational science. Intangible Capital publishes scholar articles that contribute to contrast existing theories, or to build new theoretical approaches. The contributions can adopt confirmatory (quantitative) or explanatory (mainly qualitative) methodological approaches. Theoretical essays that enhance the building or extension of theoretical approaches are also welcome. Intangible Capital selects the articles to be published with a double bind, peer review system, following the practices of good scholarly journals. Intangible Capital publishes three regular issues per year following an open access policy. On-line publication allows to reduce publishing costs, and to make more agile the process of reviewing and edition. Intangible Capital defends that open access publishing fosters the advance of scientific knowledge, making it available to everyone. Intangible Capital publishes articles in English, Spanish and Catalan.
