摘要
同理心对创业者来说是一件好事吗?与现有创业文献所倡导的积极观点相反,我们建立了一个新的创业移情机制模型,并提出了 "好东西太多 "的观点。我们利用 4425 名真实创业者的数据集对这一模型进行了实证验证,发现移情以一种倒 U 型模式影响着创业者的新产品开发这一基本创业活动。我们进一步发现,移情的负面影响对非常焦虑的创业者尤为不利。这些发现为将创业移情视为一个重要但高度模糊的成功因素提供了有力证据。
Flip the tweet – the two-sided coin of entrepreneurial empathy and its ambiguous influence on new product development
Is empathy a uniformly good thing for entrepreneurs? Contrasting the hitherto predominantly positive view advocated by the extant entrepreneurship literature, we develop a novel model of entrepreneurial empathy's mechanisms and suggest a ‘too-much-of-a-good-thing’ perspective. We empirically confirm this model using a dataset of 4425 real entrepreneurs, where we find that empathy influences entrepreneurial new product development as an essential entrepreneurial activity in an inverted U-shaped pattern. We further show that empathy's negative effects are particularly detrimental for very anxious entrepreneurs. These findings provide strong evidence for considering entrepreneurial empathy an important but highly ambiguous success factor.
