Abstract

Why do some potential entrepreneurs promptly engage in entrepreneurial behavior while others do not pursue their entrepreneurial intentions or delay acting? This study investigated whether potential entrepreneurs’ mindset shapes engaging in entrepreneurial behavior and the time until they do so. Over a 16-month period, holding more of a growth (vs. fixed) mindset positively predicted taking various entrepreneurial actions and doing so sooner. Interestingly, these effects vanished when individuals faced a less challenging context for entrepreneurship. Post-hoc exploratory analyses revealed that the COVID-19 pandemic magnified the impact of mindsets on entrepreneurial behavior. These findings pave the way for preliminary research on the viability of growth mindset interventions for fostering entrepreneurial behavior.

仅仅是民间传说吗?成长心态在创业行动的采取和时机选择中的作用

为什么一些潜在的企业家迅速从事创业行为，而另一些人不追求他们的创业意图或延迟行动?本研究调查了潜在企业家的心态是否会影响他们从事创业行为，以及他们从事创业行为所需的时间。在16个月的时间里，持有更多的成长型(相对于固定型)心态积极地预示着采取各种创业行动，并更快地采取行动。有趣的是，当个人面临一个不那么具有挑战性的创业环境时，这些影响就消失了。事后探索性分析显示，COVID-19大流行放大了心态对创业行为的影响。这些发现为初步研究成长型思维干预促进创业行为的可行性铺平了道路。
