Abstract

We consider how entrepreneurship and employment differentially shape opportunities for social mobility across people and contexts. Specifically focusing on changes in an individual’s social status, or vertical mobility, we propose three metaphors for studying entrepreneurship: (1) production (i.e., increased status); (2) preservation (i.e., maintained status); and (3) consumption (i.e., decreased status). Each metaphor features theoretical mechanisms that account for how founding an organization can facilitate inter-occupational transitions and, thus, enable status mobility. We offer a proposed research agenda for studying entrepreneurship’s role in social mobility processes, including mechanism-specific propositions at the individual and population levels of analysis as well as guidance on sampling and measurement.

企业家精神与社会流动:未来研究的三个地位隐喻*
我们考虑企业家精神和就业如何在不同的人群和环境中塑造不同的社会流动机会。我们特别关注个人社会地位或垂直流动性的变化,提出了研究创业精神的三个隐喻:(1)生产(即地位的提高);(2)保存(即保持状态);(3)消费(即地位下降)。每个隐喻都具有理论机制,说明创建一个组织如何促进职业间的过渡,从而实现地位的流动。我们提出了一个研究企业家精神在社会流动过程中的作用的研究议程,包括在个人和群体层面的分析机制具体命题以及抽样和测量指导。

期刊介绍: Research in Organizational Behavior publishes commissioned papers only, spanning several levels of analysis, and ranging from studies of individuals to groups to organizations and their environments. The topics encompassed are likewise diverse, covering issues from individual emotion and cognition to social movements and networks. Cutting across this diversity, however, is a rather consistent quality of presentation. Being both thorough and thoughtful, Research in Organizational Behavior is commissioned pieces provide substantial contributions to research on organizations. Many have received rewards for their level of scholarship and many have become classics in the field of organizational research.
