摘要
目的:在过去的二十年中,创业警觉性(EA)的概念被认为是调查个人如何认识创业机会的关键因素。因此,对创业警觉性的研究有了很大的发展,不仅吸引了创业领域的研究人员的关注,也吸引了其他学科的研究人员的关注,这些研究人员从不同的角度研究了这一概念。因此,现在是时候记录研究人员关于创业警觉性的累积知识了。本研究旨在对实证创业警觉性研究进行全面的定性回顾和评价。方法:基于先前研究中使用的多步骤方法,该方法保证了系统、透明和可复制的文献综述,本研究确定了2005年至2021年间发表在科学期刊上的84篇文章的最终样本,这些文章对EA的概念进行了实证检验。这些出版物来自Web of Science数据库。他们的分析涉及发表文章的演变、发表文章最多的期刊、进行研究的国家、使用的测量量表,以及通过实证研究假设和检验企业家警觉性的研究模型。研究发现:2016 - 2021年,创业警觉性实证研究显著增长,年均发表论文近11篇。发表这些文章的7种期刊占总发表量的28%。此外,研究结果证实,大多数关于警觉性的实证研究都是在发展中经济体进行的,其中中国发表了14篇论文,占总数的16%。此外,结果证实了关于创业警觉性的概念化和测量日益增长的共识。最后,回顾结果确定了五种广泛的研究模型,其中EA已经被假设并通过实证研究进行了检验:前因、后果、中介、调节和调节中介。考察企业家警觉性的后果或结果的模型受到了最多的关注,在这方面有59篇文章。对理论和实践的启示:概念的识别以及它们与企业家警觉性的关系类型有助于评估实证研究的进展以及机会领域。这样,未来的研究可以加强研究,从而提高警觉性的一般知识。研究最多的主题也反映了企业家对实践的警觉性的贡献,无论是在个人还是在组织层面。此外,鼓励对创业警觉性感兴趣的研究人员考虑在这方面的测量取得的进展,这为研究提供了替代方案。独创性与价值:在文献综述的基础上,组织了不同研究模型下创业警觉性的实证研究,为创业警觉性的过程提供了重要的洞见。此外,本研究揭示了有待解决的潜在领域,从而有助于对创业警觉性的研究。
An overview of the empirical research on entrepreneurial alertness using a systematic literature review method
PURPOSE: In the last two decades, the concept of entrepreneurial alertness (EA) has been considered a key element in investigating how individuals recognize entrepreneurial opportunities. Consequently, research on entrepreneurial alertness has grown considerably, attracting researchers’ attention from not only the field of entrepreneurship, but also other academic disciplines through which this concept has been studied from a variety of perspectives. Therefore, it is time to document researchers’ cumulative knowledge on entrepreneurial alertness. The present study aims to provide a comprehensive qualitative review and evaluation of the empirical entrepreneurial alertness research. METHODOLOGY: Based on a multi-step approach used in previous studies, which guarantees a systematic, transparent, and replicable literature review, this study identified a final sample of 84 articles published in scientific journals between 2005 and 2021 that empirically tested the concept of EA. The publications were sourced from the Web of Science database. Their analysis involved the evolution of published articles, the journals that have published the most articles, the countries where the research was undertaken, the measurement scales that have been used, and the research models in which entrepreneurial alertness has been hypothesized and examined through empirical research. FINDINGS: The results show that empirical research on entrepreneurial alertness grew significantly from 2016 to 2021, during which period almost 11 articles per year were published. Seven of the journals that published the articles contributed 28 percent of the total publications. Also, the results confirm that most of the empirical research on alertness has been carried out in developing economies, from which China stands out with 14 publications, representing 16 percent of the total. Additionally, the results confirm the growing consensus regarding the conceptualization and measurement of entrepreneurial alertness. Finally, the review resulted in the identification of five broad research models in which EA has been hypothesized and examined through empirical research: antecedents, consequences, mediation, moderation, and moderated mediation. The model examining the consequences or outcomes of entrepreneurial alertness has received the most attention, with 59 articles in this context. IMPLICATIONS FOR THEORY AND PRACTICE: The identification of concepts and the type of relationship they have with entrepreneurial alertness help evaluate the advances of empirical research as well as the areas of opportunity. In this way, future studies can strengthen research and thus advance the general knowledge of alertness. The most studied topics are also a reflection of the contribution of entrepreneurial alertness toward practice, both at the individual and organizational levels. In addition, researchers interested in entrepreneurial alertness are encouraged to consider the progress made in the measurement of this aspect, which offers alternatives for investigation. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: Based on the review of the literature, this study organizes the empirical research of entrepreneurial alertness in different research models, which provide important insights into its process. Moreover, this study uncovers potential areas to be addressed and thereby contributes to the study of entrepreneurial alertness.
