摘要

目的 本文旨在研究创业激情,特别是对创业的痴迷,在创业背景下的代理关系中的作用。本文旨在对创业企业在这些关系中的作用进行新的概念化,并探讨痴迷于创业企业可能产生的负面影响。本文通过揭示大型营利性企业之外代理关系的复杂性,解读代理关系中的自利成分,并质疑创业激情总是对创业者和风险企业都有利的假设,从而为相关文献做出贡献。本文采用理论框架开发和概念图绘制的方法,探讨创业激情(尤其是对风险企业的痴迷)在创业背景下的代理关系中的作用。我们对有关代理理论、创业激情和创业迷恋的现有研究进行了全面的文献综述和归纳。通过整合这些见解,我们建立了一个新的概念框架,从理论上阐明了创业迷恋对代理关系和创业绩效的负面影响。这一方法使我们能够提出一个细致入微的模型,突出强调创业过程中与痴迷激情相关的复杂性和潜在的不适应行为。研究结果创业痴迷可能会产生有害结果,如承诺升级和忽视外部反馈,因为创业痴迷会不惜一切代价保护企业。以往的研究探讨了创业激情的作用及其对企业绩效的影响,而本研究则深入研究了激情转化为执着代理时的阴暗面,从而扩展了对这一问题的理解。本研究强调了在代理关系中保持健康平衡的重要性,并考虑了创业者的心理健康,从而为现有的相关知识增加了细微差别和深度。

When creation becomes fixation: venture obsession and agentic relationships

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of entrepreneurial passion, specifically venture obsession, in agentic relationships within entrepreneurial contexts. It aims to develop a new conceptualization of the role of the venture in these relationships and explore the negative impacts that can arise from the obsessive passion for the venture. The paper contributes to the literature by shedding light on the complexities of agency outside of large for-profit firms, unpacking components of self-interest in the agentic relationship and challenging the assumption that entrepreneurial passion is always beneficial for both the entrepreneur and the venture.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper employs theoretical framework development and conceptual mapping to explore the role of entrepreneurial passion, specifically venture obsession, in agentic relationships within entrepreneurial contexts. We conducted a comprehensive literature review and synthesis of existing research on agency theory, entrepreneurial passion and venture obsession. By integrating these insights, we developed a new conceptual framework that theorizes the negative impacts of venture obsession on agentic relationships and venture performance. This approach allows us to propose a nuanced model that highlights the complexities and potential maladaptive behaviors associated with obsessive passion in entrepreneurship.

Findings

Venture obsession can have detrimental outcomes, such as escalation of commitment and ignoring external feedback, due to the intense focus on protecting the venture at all costs.

Originality/value

The study highlights the impact of venture obsession on agentic relationships, emphasizing the balance between autonomy, competence and relatedness that entrepreneurs strive to maintain for their well-being. While previous research has explored the role of entrepreneurial passion and its effects on venture performance, this study extends the understanding by delving into the darker side of passion when it transforms into obsessive agency. By emphasizing the importance of maintaining a healthy balance in agentic relationships and considering the psychological well-being of entrepreneurs, this study adds nuance and depth to the existing knowledge on the subject.
