Abstract

Abstract This paper aims to analyze the antecedents leading to habitual entrepreneurship by investigating the role of entrepreneurs’ narcissism and their level of education. While the literature provides a general understanding of what motivates individuals to pursue their entrepreneurial ideas, the possible antecedents to the individual’s decision to become a habitual entrepreneur remain unexplored and untested. Relying on a sample of 343 start-up entrepreneurs, hypotheses are tested through the partial least squares analysis. Results show that entrepreneurs’ educational levels fully mediate the relationship between narcissism and the choice to become habitual entrepreneurs. The study contributes to the literature on entrepreneurs’ personality, decision-making, and human capital, also underlining a few practical implications.

习惯性创业的前因:探讨企业家自恋与教育水平的作用

摘要本文旨在通过考察企业家自恋和受教育程度对习惯性创业的影响，分析习惯性创业形成的前因。虽然文献对个人追求创业想法的动机提供了一个大致的理解，但个人决定成为习惯性企业家的可能的先决条件仍未被探索和测试。以343名创业企业家为样本，通过偏最小二乘分析对假设进行检验。结果表明，企业家的教育水平在自恋与习惯性企业家选择之间起着完全中介作用。该研究对企业家的个性、决策和人力资本的文献有所贡献，并强调了一些实际意义。
