Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between culture and entrepreneurial orientation (EO) in informal enterprises and the moderating role of their survival intent. Design/methodology/approach This paper used Hofstede's national culture framework and theory of EO to develop a novel conceptual framework. The data were collected using a survey from a sample of 385 informal enterprises and analyzed using partial least square structural equation modelling. Findings The findings of this paper confirmed that power distance, uncertainty avoidance and normative orientation negatively affect EO in contrast with the positive effect of individualism and masculinity. Although power distance and uncertainty avoidance negatively affect an EO, the findings showed that survival intent weakens the negative nexus between these variables and strengthens the positive effect of individualism and masculinity on EO. Research limitations/implications Although this study examined how survival intent moderates the nexus between national culture and EO across informal enterprises in emerging economies, the data were collected in Nigeria only. This study also examined EO in aggregate and considered only one sector. Practical implications This study recommends that policymakers and practitioners understand the important links between firms' characteristics, culture and EO while designing training programs, policies and procedures. Doing so will support the successful implementation of entrepreneurship programs, address the prevailing entrepreneurial needs and cultural deficits across enterprises and promote the efficient allocation of resources. Originality/value This paper extends Hofstede's framework of national culture and EO in the context of informal enterprises in emerging economies by examining the nexus between national culture and EO, moderated by survival intent.

新兴经济中的民族文化与创业导向:非正规企业生存意愿的调节作用
目的探讨非正规企业文化与创业倾向的关系及其生存意向的调节作用。设计/方法论/方法本文运用霍夫斯泰德的民族文化框架和EO理论,构建了一个新颖的概念框架。数据是通过对385家非正规企业的抽样调查收集的,并使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型进行分析。研究结果本文的研究结果证实,权力距离、不确定性回避和规范取向对EO产生了负面影响,而个人主义和男子气概则产生了积极影响。尽管功率距离和不确定性避免对EO产生负面影响,研究结果表明,生存意图削弱了这些变量之间的负面关系,并加强了个人主义和男子气概对EO的积极影响。研究局限性/含义尽管这项研究考察了生存意图如何在新兴经济体的非正规企业中调节民族文化和EO之间的关系,但数据仅在尼日利亚收集。这项研究还综合考察了EO,只考虑了一个部门。实际含义本研究建议决策者和从业者在设计培训计划、政策和程序时,了解企业特征、文化和EO之间的重要联系。这样做将支持创业计划的成功实施,解决企业普遍存在的创业需求和文化赤字,并促进资源的有效分配。独创性/价值本文通过考察由生存意图调节的民族文化与EO之间的关系,将霍夫斯泰德的民族文化和EO框架扩展到新兴经济体非正规企业的背景下。
