We theorize that individual EO as a dispositional belief-based construct (i.e., what entrepreneurs believe) precedes EA as a cognition-oriented construct (i.e., how entrepreneurs think). Following this theorization, this research develops several propositions among the individual EO-EA dimensions. We also provide contingencies as possible theoretical boundaries that may alter these associations. Consequently, we enrich the EO-EA literature by articulating the detailed relationships of individual EO dimensions and EA factors, providing opportunities for future empirical studies.</p>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140302287","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}

Past studies have been fragmented: Some researchers have focused on creative risk-taking, whereas others have looked at unethical risk-taking. Little is known about how and when entrepreneurs respond to adversity in either a creative or an expedient manner. We posit that entrepreneurs respond to adversity by using either entrepreneurial bricolage behavior (EBB) or unethical pro-organizational behavior (UPB). Drawing from the emotivational account, we develop each theoretical model of bricolage and UPB to better understand how entrepreneurs’ emotional states play a critical role in their reactions to adversity. We theorize that, and test whether, entrepreneurial adversity is positively related to EBB and increase in EBB over time through increased interest when trait resilience is high. Also, we conceptualize and examine whether entrepreneurial adversity is positively related to UPB and increase in UPB over time through increased anger when trait resilience is low. We conducted a five-month longitudinal study of 100 entrepreneurs (482 observations). Our findings largely corroborated the hypotheses. Our study advances our understanding of entrepreneurs’ risk-taking by showing when and how they respond creatively or unethically.</p>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-03-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140156361","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}

We extend this literature by examining whether and how political connections help in profit <i>persistence</i>, a fundamental concern for firms. Using a unique panel dataset of politicians who were elected at either the national or state level in India and examining their membership on the board of directors of firms, we find that firms with political connections demonstrate higher profit persistence. Further, we report that connections with state-level politicians have a larger effect on persistence compared to connections with national-level politicians. This finding emphasizes the importance of micro and recurring benefits in emerging economies such as India, in the form of help with acquiring licenses, permits, land and infrastructure, which are usually provided by state-level politicians relative to policy-related benefits, which are typically provided by national-level politicians. Our results also show that political connections have a greater effect on profit persistence for firms that are affiliated to business groups. Our results suggest that political connections seem to operate as higher-order resources, defined as resources that do not contribute to profits directly but can affect other resources that in turn affect profits over time.</p>","PeriodicalId":8474,"journal":{"name":"Asia Pacific Journal of Management","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139947986","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}

This study explores the influence of individual informal leadership on helping received from peers from an interpersonal interaction perspective. Drawing upon social comparison theory, we posit that a focal employee’s moderate level of informal leadership in a team can pose a threat to peers, which inhibits the helping behavior from peers to the focal employee. To test our hypothesis, we conducted an experiment in Study 1 and a field survey in Study 2. The results revealed that individual informal leadership had a curvilinear relationship with helping behavior from peers via threat to peers. Furthermore, the focal employee’s political skill mitigated this curvilinear effect.
