Abstract

Abstract Santos, G., C. S. Marques, and J. J. Ferreira. 2020. “Passion and Perseverance as Two New Dimensions of an Individual Entrepreneurial Orientation Scale.” Journal of Business Research 112: 190–9 proposed a five-dimensional conceptualization of individual entrepreneurial orientation (IEO), but more evidence is needed before authors can reliably apply their conceptualization and operationalization. We provide a theoretical critique of their conceptualization and continue their scale development process. Four of five dimensions converged with other scales of the same constructs, but their passion dimension did not. The factor structure and predictive validity evidence also suggested that passion should not be included within the scope of IEO, and we assert that Santos et al.’s conceptualization of IEO is better represented with a hierarchical structure. Proactiveness and perseverance as well as risk-taking and innovativeness load onto two separate second-order factors, and these two second-order factors load onto the broader factor of IEO. We suggest that the construct measured by Santos et al.’s passion dimension may instead be a mediator between IEO and entrepreneurial outcomes, and we provide further insights into the measurement of IEO.

重新评估激情和毅力作为个人创业取向的维度:理论和测量的概念和实证研究

[摘要]Santos, G.， c.s. Marques和j.j. Ferreira。2020。激情与毅力:个人创业取向量表的两个新维度《商业研究》(Journal of Business Research) 112: 190 - 109提出了个体创业取向的五维概念化，但在作者能够可靠地应用他们的概念化和可操作性之前，还需要更多的证据。我们对它们的概念化进行了理论批判，并继续它们的规模发展过程。五个维度中的四个维度与相同构式的其他维度趋同，但他们的激情维度却没有。因素结构和预测效度证据也表明，激情不应该包括在IEO的范围内，我们断言Santos等人对IEO的概念化用层次结构更好地表示。主动性和毅力以及冒险精神和创新精神分别加载到两个独立的二阶因子上，而这两个二阶因子又加载到更广泛的IEO因子上。我们认为，由Santos等人的激情维度测量的结构可能反而是IEO和创业结果之间的中介，我们进一步深入了解了IEO的测量。

期刊介绍： Entrepreneurship Research Journal (ERJ) was launched with an Inaugural Issue in 2011. Professor Ramona Zachary at Baruch College and Professor Chandra Mishra at Florida Atlantic University introduce a new forum for scholarly discussion on entrepreneurs and their activities, contexts, processes, strategies, and outcomes. Positioned as the premier new research journal within the field of entrepreneurship, ERJ seeks to encourage a scholarly exchange between researchers from any field of study who focus on entrepreneurs, and will include both theoretical and empirical articles, with priority being given to high quality theoretical and empirical papers that have managerial or public policy orientation as well as ramifications for entrepreneurship research overall. Topics: -Research Modeling, Design, and Methods: entrepreneurship theories and conceptualizations, entrepreneurship research methods. -The Individuals-Opportunities-Resources Nexus: nascent entrepreneurs, opportunity recognition, drivers of value creation, and emergence, innovation and technology entrepreneurs, entrepreneurial risk and reward, entrepreneurial cognition and behavior. -Inclusive of Near Environments: family entrepreneurship, networks, teams and alliances, venture capital and angel investor groups, entrepreneurial communities, hubs, clusters and public policy, social entrepreneurship. -Distinct Entrepreneurial Stage or Setting: entrepreneurial growth and strategy, boards, governance and leadership, corporate entrepreneurship, international and emerging market entrepreneurship.
