Evidence from frontal alpha asymmetry","authors":"Leidy Cubillos-Pinilla, Pierre Balthazard, Gabriel Quimbayo, Franziska Emmerling, Claudia Peus","doi":"10.1007/s11187-026-01263-y","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1007/s11187-026-01263-y","url":null,"abstract":"Small business creation and self-employment depend critically on individuals’ motivation to pursue entrepreneurial entry under uncertainty. While prior research consistently shows that entrepreneurial creativity enhances entrepreneurial intention, substantial heterogeneity remains among creative individuals in their willingness to pursue small business entry. To address this gap, drawing on expectancy theory, we propose that entrepreneurial creativity primarily strengthens perceived feasibility, but that the translation of feasibility into intention depends on individuals’ affective–motivational readiness to act. We operationalize this readiness using frontal alpha asymmetry (FAA)—a resting-state neurophysiological index of relative left–right frontal cortical activity associated with approach-related affective tendencies. We conceptualize FAA as a dispositional boundary condition, rather than a driver of entrepreneurial intention. Using a multi-method design that combines validated self-report measures with resting-state electroencephalography (EEG), we test a moderation model in which FAA conditions the relationship between entrepreneurial creativity and entrepreneurial intention. Results indicate that entrepreneurial creativity is positively associated with entrepreneurial intention, and that this relationship is stronger among individuals exhibiting higher FAA. By identifying an affective–motivational boundary condition, this study advances micro-level explanations of entrepreneurial entry motivation and helps explain why some creative individuals pursue small business entry while others do not. The findings contribute to research on entrepreneurial decision-making under uncertainty and demonstrate how neuroscience-informed measures can complement traditional approaches in small business economics.","PeriodicalId":21803,"journal":{"name":"Small Business Economics","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148842824","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, we analyze data from 19,000 individuals across 25 European countries to demonstrate that self-employment is associated with modestly lower boredom on average—a relationship that is not captured by traditional measures of hedonic or eudaimonic well-being. The negative association between self-employment and boredom is small but robust across broad sectors, significantly stronger among those with ten or more employees, and similar in size to the associations between self-employment and life satisfaction or meaning in life. While this association is not restricted to low-income individuals, the data do not allow strong conclusions about whether this association generalizes to high-income employees. We replicate our main findings in a separate sample of 1000 US participants. Using this sample, we also show that our main results are not driven by individuals with lower boredom proneness self-selecting into self-employment. Taken together, our results suggest that prior research has overlooked an important dimension of the relationship between self-employment and well-being.","PeriodicalId":21803,"journal":{"name":"Small Business Economics","volume":"35 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148842857","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When contemplating an occupation to provide them with income and self-actualization, they face a concurrent choice between employment and self-employed entrepreneurship and between <jats:italic>individualistic</jats:italic> (profit and work satisfaction) and <jats:italic>communalistic</jats:italic> (social impact and environmental restoration) business purposes. Employment choices may be restricted by high local unemployment, automation, and artificial intelligence. Noting that entrepreneurial behavior can be pursued independently or as an employee, their occupational choices include <jats:italic>starting</jats:italic> a firm or <jats:italic>joining</jats:italic> a firm as an employee (and acting entrepreneurially or not). We study the determinants of their occupational intentions and find bespoke configurations of their personal and parental characteristics that culminate in their occupational intention and their preferred combination of business purposes. Interestingly, most of the sampled adolescents did not exhibit traditional gender role expectations, males were mostly communalistic in their preferred business purposes, and no group of females sought profit as their primary business purpose. This paper contributes to the literatures on entrepreneurial intention, adolescent development, and parental influence on adolescent choice with implications for policy, education, and research.","PeriodicalId":21803,"journal":{"name":"Small Business Economics","volume":"157 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148842825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moonlighters who earn at least 50% of their income from side work are 8 percentage points more likely to transition to full-time self-employment, consistent with a “testing the waters” mechanism rooted in real options theory. Weaker attachment to the primary job also predicts transition, suggesting necessity- and opportunity-driven motives coexist among transitioning moonlighters. Access to employer-provided health insurance is associated with a 3.7 percentage point reduction in the likelihood of transition, consistent with a job-lock mechanism, while spousal health insurance coverage does not appear to offset this barrier. Marital status and spousal earnings are positively associated with transition, a pattern consistent with intra-household risk-sharing. These findings have implications for policies aimed at lowering barriers to entrepreneurial entry, particularly health insurance portability reform.","PeriodicalId":21803,"journal":{"name":"Small Business Economics","volume":"16 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148842928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using a large dataset of public complaints about financial misconduct, we find a positive relationship between the intensity of public disclosure and new business formation in the local community. We also find such a market discipline avenue complements the role of social trust in improving the local entrepreneurial ecosystem.","PeriodicalId":21803,"journal":{"name":"Small Business Economics","volume":"194 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.4,"publicationDate":"2026-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148728804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
