Abstract

Abstract Many new ventures are founded and developed by teams rather than solo entrepreneurs. Therefore, the extent to which entrepreneurs identify with their teams is likely to have an important impact on the process and outcome of new venture creation in new venture teams. However, most of the relevant studies focus on entrepreneurs’ individual identity, and the identity at the team level has been overlooked. This study seeks to fill this gap by exploring the effect of collective team identification on new venture performance. The relationship between collective team identification and new venture performance was examined using a sample of 54 new venture teams in Internet Technology (IT) industry. The results show that the relationship between collective team identification and new venture performance is inverted U-shaped. Moreover, environmental uncertainty may moderate this curvilinear effect, such that this inverted U-shaped relationship is more salient at a low level of environmental uncertainty rather than at a high level of environmental uncertainty.

集体团队认同与创业绩效的曲线关系:环境不确定性的调节作用

许多新企业是由团队而不是单个企业家创立和发展的。因此，企业家对其团队的认同程度可能会对新创团队的新创过程和结果产生重要影响。然而，相关研究大多集中在企业家的个人认同上，而忽视了团队层面的认同。本研究试图通过探索集体团队认同对新创企业绩效的影响来填补这一空白。本文以互联网技术(IT)行业54个创业团队为样本，考察了集体团队认同与创业绩效之间的关系。结果表明，集体团队认同与创业绩效呈倒u型关系。此外，环境不确定性可能会缓和这种曲线效应，因此这种倒u型关系在低水平的环境不确定性下比在高水平的环境不确定性下更为突出。
