Abstract

PurposeThe authors explore the relationship between adolescent behavior and subsequent entrepreneurial persistence by drawing on scholarship from clinical psychology and criminology to examine different subtypes of antisocial behavior (nonaggressive antisocial behavior and aggressive antisocial behavior) that underlie adolescent rule breaking. The intersection of gender and socioeconomic status on these types of antisocial behavior and entrepreneurial persistence is also studied.Design/methodology/approachUsing a longitudinal research design, this study draws from a national representative survey of USA adolescents, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1997) (NLSY97). Nonaggressive antisocial behavior was assessed with a composite scale that measured economic self-interest and with a second measure that focused on substance abuse. Aggressive antisocial behavior was assessed as a measure of aggressive, destructive behaviors, such as fighting and property destruction. Entrepreneurial persistence was operationalized as years of self-employment experience, which is based on the number of years a respondent reported any self-employment.FindingsAggressive antisocial behavior is positively related to entrepreneurial persistence but nonaggressive antisocial behavior is not. This relationship is moderated by gender and socioeconomic status.Originality/valueThese findings contribute to research on the relationship between adolescent behavior and entrepreneurship in adulthood, the effect of antisocial behavior, and demographic intersectionality (by gender and socioeconomic status) in entrepreneurship. The authors surmise that the finding that self-employment for men from lower socioeconomic backgrounds involved in aggressive antisocial behavior was significantly higher compared to others may indicate that necessity entrepreneurship may be the primary driver of entrepreneurial activity for these individuals.

探讨青少年违反规则的反社会行为差异对创业持久性的影响

目的:作者利用临床心理学和犯罪学的研究成果，研究青少年违反规则的不同反社会行为亚型(非攻击性反社会行为和攻击性反社会行为)，探讨青少年行为与随后的创业持久性之间的关系。性别和社会经济地位对这些类型的反社会行为和创业持久性的交叉作用也进行了研究。设计/方法/方法采用纵向研究设计，本研究借鉴了美国青少年的全国代表性调查——全国青少年纵向调查(1997)(NLSY97)。非攻击性反社会行为是用一个综合量表来评估的，这个综合量表衡量的是经济上的自我利益，第二个衡量的是药物滥用。攻击性反社会行为被评估为侵略性、破坏性行为的衡量标准，如打架和破坏财产。创业持久性被操作化为自营职业经验的年数，这是基于被调查者报告任何自营职业的年数。研究发现:攻击性反社会行为与创业持久性呈正相关，而非攻击性反社会行为与创业持久性呈正相关。这种关系受性别和社会经济地位的影响。原创性/价值这些发现有助于研究青少年行为与成年后创业之间的关系、反社会行为的影响以及创业中的人口交叉性(性别和社会经济地位)。作者推测，社会经济背景较低、有攻击性反社会行为的男性个体经营者的比例明显高于其他人，这可能表明必要性创业可能是这些人创业活动的主要驱动力。
