Using experience sampling data and genetic analysis, we found that positive affect (T1) was directly associated with altruistic behavior. A payoff of increased positive affect resulted from such behavior (T2). Individuals who started work with an elevated level of fatigue (T1) engaged in less altruistic behavior and became more fatigued (T2). Altruistic behavior mediated the positive affect/fatigue at T1 and T2. Hence, altruistic behavior may promote a resource gain spiral by enhancing positive affect resources. Furthermore, it buffers against a resource loss spiral by preventing increased fatigue. Moreover, genetic testing showed that the 2R carriers of the <i>DRD4</i> polymorphism would respond with stronger positive affect and less fatigue after performing altruistic behaviors compared to non-2R carriers. Therefore, our research revealed the moderating role of individual differences in the relationship between altruistic behavior and resource gain and loss spirals.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":"41 2","pages":"719 - 741"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2023-01-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45087784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Drawing insights from event system theory, we identified two critical event characteristics (i.e., event novelty and event criticality). Integrating the affect infusion model and the self-verification process in the identity literature, we argue that the two event characteristics and opportunity competence are crucial for entrepreneurs to exploit the benefits of entrepreneurial passion in promoting organizational innovation.
