Abstract

Abstract The influence of entrepreneurial role models on individuals could be regarded as a social learning process. However, we still lack an in-depth understanding of under what conditions the impacts of entrepreneurial role models are stronger or weaker. This paper draws on social learning theory and construal level theory to explore how entrepreneurial role models relate to individuals’ entrepreneurial perceptions under different psychological distance dimensions. A representative sample of 322 final-year students from nine universities in China was analyzed. The results demonstrated that entrepreneurial role model was positively associated with feasibility and desirability perceptions. Further, we found that the spatial distance and social distance as boundary conditions, respectively, moderated the main effects. This study extends prior research on the functions of entrepreneurial role model by providing a psychological distance perspective.

创业角色模式对创业认知的影响:心理距离的调节作用

创业榜样对个体的影响可以看作是一个社会学习过程。然而，在何种条件下，企业家榜样的影响更强或更弱，我们仍然缺乏深入的理解。本文运用社会学习理论和解释水平理论，探讨不同心理距离维度下创业角色模型与个体创业知觉的关系。本文分析了来自中国九所大学的322名应届毕业生的代表性样本。结果表明，企业家角色模式与可行性和可取性感知呈正相关。此外，我们发现空间距离和社会距离分别作为边界条件调节了主要影响。本研究通过提供心理距离视角，扩展了前人对创业榜样功能的研究。
