The Trojan horse of international entrepreneurship in the MENA region: Locus of control and the export of corruption
This study explores the under-theorized relationship between international entrepreneurship and the likelihood of corrupt entry in the MENA region. It argues that entrepreneurs' locus of control regarding corruption may increase the likelihood of engaging in corrupt activities in a new business environment. Institutional factors such as the perceived level of corruption in the host economy also affect this relationship. The paper aims to enrich the understanding of international business by examining corruption at an individual level and to provide a nuanced view of international entrepreneurship, often viewed positively, but potentially having a darker side.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of World Business holds a distinguished position as a leading publication within the realm of International Business. Rooted in a legacy dating back to 1965, when it was established as the Columbia Journal of World Business, JWB is committed to disseminating cutting-edge research that reflects significant advancements in the field. The journal actively seeks submissions that propel new theoretical frameworks and innovative perspectives on International Business phenomena. Aligned with its domain statement, submissions are expected to possess a clear multinational, cross-border, or international comparative focus, while remaining pertinent to the study of management and organizations. JWB particularly encourages submissions that challenge established theories or assumptions, presenting pioneering or counterintuitive findings. With an inclusive approach, the journal welcomes contributions from diverse conceptual and theoretical traditions, encompassing allied social sciences and behavioral sciences. Submissions should either develop new theories or rigorously test existing ones, employing a variety of qualitative, quantitative, or other methodological approaches. While JWB primarily caters to scholars and researchers, it values contributions that explore implications for Multinational Enterprises and their management, as well as ramifications for public policy and the broader societal role of business.
