Informal sector entrepreneurship activities contribute 10–20% of the GDP in developed economies and up to 60% in developing economies. In South Africa, the informal sector accounts for 15–17% of total employment and about 5.2% of the country’s GDP. Yet, very little attention is given to how informal sector entrepreneurship shapes individual entrepreneurial orientation and the emergence of entrepreneurial leadership, and vice versa. The lack of attention to the notions of individual entrepreneurial orientation and the emergence of entrepreneurial leadership from the informal sector is worrisome given that a significant number of now successful entrepreneurs in African contexts began their business operations within the informal sector. This article presents a multilevel analysis of the emergence of entrepreneurial leadership in the informal sector of South Africa. We draw from “rags to riches” inspirational accounts and social identity theory to develop an integrative framework on the emergence of entrepreneurial leadership in the informal sector. Short case studies of successful entrepreneurial leaders who emerged from the informal sector are presented for illustrative purposes. This paper aims to provide valuable insights into one of the understudied but rapidly growing entrepreneurial contexts, informal sector entrepreneurship, and how this context shapes individual entrepreneurial orientation and the emergence of entrepreneurial leadership. This exposes a previously hidden territory for new insights and further studies on how to advance entrepreneurship development research and praxis.","PeriodicalId":37290,"journal":{"name":"Africa Journal of Management","volume":"6 1","pages":"194 - 213"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23322373.2020.1777817","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45552992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It centers on the restorative behavior of followers in bad leadership contexts. In Study 1, we leverage insight from restorative behavior theory to examine the question, what are the antecedents of restorative followership? Data from working MBA students (n = 185) in Ghana in 2015 support our expectation that bad leader influence (incompetent communication and lack of participative decision-making) positively relates to restorative behaviors of followers. In Study 2, we examine active engagement as a mechanism by which bad leader behaviors influence restorative behavior of followers, and the extent to which follower-leader value congruence moderates the relationship. Data from executive MBAs (n = 179) in Ghana in 2016 show support for the mediating and moderating effects. In Study 3, we examine one consequence of restorative behavior – restorative value – using relational capital theory and data from 193 workers from a media organization in Ghana in 2017. We find support for restorative value ratings by supervisors as an outcome of restorative behavior. We discuss the overall findings in support of restorative followership. Our use of data from Ghana, an African country, to test the theory, suggests we adopted a context-specific approach in the three studies.","PeriodicalId":37290,"journal":{"name":"Africa Journal of Management","volume":"6 1","pages":"161 - 193"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23322373.2020.1777818","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47385136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

I share how emotionally challenging I sometimes find it to be a scholar of Africa, and some insights I have gained over time about meeting that challenge. Our work is strengthened when we honestly document what we find, using both scientific principles and global scholarship to guide us. But our scholarship can also enrich research globally in three ways: Insights we gain from our extreme conditions, our greater opportunities to study some phenomena, e.g. faith in business, and finally because Africans sometimes simply see things differently, e.g. African understandings of how the workplace relates to personal circumstances. I offer examples of how we can deal with the data challenges in Africa. We need to explain more carefully our setting to help readers from other contexts understand ours. We do not always recognize or play to our data strengths, and sometimes need to innovate evidence. I conclude by reiterating the need to combine an honest documentation of what we see from our African vantage point with a deep knowledge of current global scholarship.","PeriodicalId":37290,"journal":{"name":"Africa Journal of Management","volume":"6 1","pages":"132 - 143"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23322373.2020.1753493","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45390737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These six traditional Ghanaian cultural beliefs (i.e. belief in godliness, belief in paranormal activities, belief in a social hierarchical structure, belief in familism, belief in communal social orientation, and belief in patriarchism) are directly linked to entrepreneurial behavior. We argue that this belief system differs from those of other cultural contexts and provides the underpinnings for understanding African culture and entrepreneurship. We derive propositions of how this belief system relates to the entrepreneurial eco-system. These propositions suggest the following: Belief in familism, belief in communal social orientation and belief in patriarchism are likely to have, depending on the circumstances, a positive or a negative relationship with entrepreneurship. Belief in paranormal activities and belief in a social hierarchical structure are bound to influence entrepreneurial behavior negatively. At the same time, belief in godliness will influence entrepreneurial activities positively. Following these inferences, the article concludes that Ghanaian culture, and African culture as a whole, frame entrepreneurial activities. However, the cultural belief system suggests that the culture-entrepreneurship relationship is more complex than previously envisaged.","PeriodicalId":37290,"journal":{"name":"Africa Journal of Management","volume":"6 1","pages":"67 - 84"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23322373.2020.1753485","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44411686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the driving factors explaining the continuous use of such services among small and medium-sized tourism and hospitality enterprises (SMTHEs) is still unknown. This study examines the driving factors of continuous intention to use MM services among SMTHEs in Ghana. It employs the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology 2 (UTAUT2), and the diffusion of innovation and perceived risk theories to examine the key drivers and deterrents of continued MM usage among SMTHE operators. A structural model was developed to test eleven hypotheses. A multi-stage proportionate random sampling was conducted on sub-sectors such as accommodation, restaurants, transport agencies and artisans within four selected cities in Ghana, yielding 380 useful survey questionnaires. Overall, the results of both CFA and SEM indicate that the model fits the data. For instance, effort expectancy, performance expectancy, hedonic motivations, habit, personal innovations, destination-infrastructure risk, technology risk and awareness were significant drivers of the intention to continuously use MM services. Further results from the multi-group moderation analysis show significant differences between males and females relative to the relationship between effort expectancy and continuous intention. The implications and limitations of the findings are discussed and suggestions for future research are given.","PeriodicalId":37290,"journal":{"name":"Africa Journal of Management","volume":"6 1","pages":"114 - 85"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2020-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/23322373.2020.1753495","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45363685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
