Abstract

One tool that has long been advocated to promote economic development and reduce poverty in developing countries such as Ghana is entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship, however, is a process that goes through several phases. One of the first hurdles for aspiring entrepreneurs to cross is to come up with a viable new venture idea. Drawing on the social cognitive theory of self-regulation, we hypothesize that the two dimensions of dispositional grit (consistency of interest and perseverance of effort) may enhance aspiring entrepreneurs' new venture ideation via entrepreneurial self-efficacy. Furthermore, the indirect effects of consistency of interest and perseverance of effort on venture ideation via entrepreneurial self-efficacy are proposed to be stronger when entrepreneur identity aspiration is high. Based on a sample of 265 (Study 1) and 338 (Study 2) aspiring entrepreneurs in Ghana, we found consistent and strong support for our hypothesized model. Theoretical and practical implications of our findings are discussed.

审视特质勇气对有抱负的企业家新创业创意的影响:来自加纳的证据
在加纳等发展中国家,长期以来一直提倡促进经济发展和减少贫困的一种工具是创业。然而,创业是一个经历几个阶段的过程。有抱负的企业家要跨越的第一个障碍是提出一个可行的新创业想法。根据自我调节的社会认知理论,我们假设性格勇气的两个维度(兴趣的一致性和努力的毅力)可能通过创业自我效能增强有抱负的企业家的新创业创意。此外,当企业家认同意愿高时,兴趣一致性和努力毅力通过创业自我效能对创业创意的间接影响更强。基于加纳265名(研究1)和338名(研究2)有抱负的企业家的样本,我们发现我们的假设模型得到了一致和强有力的支持。讨论了研究结果的理论和实践意义。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Vocational Behavior publishes original empirical and theoretical articles offering unique insights into the realms of career choice, career development, and work adjustment across the lifespan. These contributions are not only valuable for academic exploration but also find applications in counseling and career development programs across diverse sectors such as colleges, universities, business, industry, government, and the military. The primary focus of the journal centers on individual decision-making regarding work and careers, prioritizing investigations into personal career choices rather than organizational or employer-level variables. Example topics encompass a broad range, from initial career choices (e.g., choice of major, initial work or organization selection, organizational attraction) to the development of a career, work transitions, work-family management, and attitudes within the workplace (such as work commitment, multiple role management, and turnover).
