摘要

目的运用社会认知和合法性视角,探讨社会合法性感知作为一种非正式制度力量在调节女性企业家自我效能感和创业韧性对创业成长的影响中的作用。设计/方法/方法本研究使用了308名日本女性企业家的数据集,他们是一个有限的学术关注的主题,以经验检验假设的关系。与统一的框架一致,本研究能够确定女性企业家所需的社会合法性的获得是一个重要的安全网,在这个安全网下,企业家自我效能感和韧性可以显著影响企业的成长。研究局限/启示研究强调,仅靠高水平的创业特质并不一定足以保证女性创业的增长。在此过程中,本研究促进了创业社会合法性在推动和调动女性企业家认知资源方面的互补作用理论的发展,这是日本背景下创业成长的关键。实际影响政策制定者应致力于执行更有性别针对性的政策,旨在不断培养妇女的认知属性,同时提高社会意识,将创业作为一种有前途的职业选择。本研究的独创性在于激发了一场关于女性企业家在两种创业认知属性的绩效结果中潜在异质性的辩论。通过整合感知社会合法性的概念,该研究可以回应Miao等人(2017),他们寻求进一步检查认知特征-风险增长方程中未经测试的边界条件。

Female entrepreneurs’ cognitive attributes and venture growth in Japan: the moderating role of perceived social legitimacy
Purpose By drawing upon social cognitive and legitimacy perspectives, this study aims to explore the role of perceived social legitimacy as an informal institutional force that moderates the effects of female entrepreneurs’ self-efficacy and entrepreneurial tenacity on venture growth. Design/methodology/approach This study uses a data set of 308 Japanese female entrepreneurs, who are a subject of limited extant scholarly attention, to test the hypothesised relationships empirically. Findings Consistent with the unified framework, the study was able to identify that the acquisition of social legitimacy required by female entrepreneurs serves as a crucial safety net under which entrepreneurial self-efficacy and tenacity can significantly affect venture growth. Research limitations/implications The study highlights that high levels of entrepreneurial traits alone are not necessarily sufficient to guarantee women’s venture growth. In doing so, this study stimulates the development of theory on the complementary role of the social legitimacy of entrepreneurship in fueling and mobilising the female entrepreneurs’ cognitive resources as the key to venture growth in the Japanese context. Practical implications Policymakers should be dedicated to implementing more gender-specific policies designed to continually cultivate women’s cognitive attributes in tandem with the promotion of social awareness to embrace entrepreneurship as a promising career option. Originality/value The originality of this study lies in stimulating a debate on the underlying heterogeneity of female entrepreneurs in the performance outcomes of two entrepreneurial cognitive attributes. By integrating the concept of perceived social legitimacy, the study can respond to Miao et al. (2017), who sought further examination of untested boundary conditions in the cognitive characteristics-venture growth equation.
