Abstract

ABSTRACT The paper investigates the resilience of micro-businesses (MBs) to natural disasters by exploring the impact of two levels of resilience, namely organizational resilience and entrepreneur psychological resilience, on perceived post-disaster business performance (PPDBP). As MBs tend to be entrepreneur-centric, entrepreneur psychological resilience (EPR) can play an important role, interconnected with that of organizational resilience (OR). However, in the extant literature the debate is still open on how OR and EPR relate. We verified a structural model with the aid of Upper Echelons and Imprinting theories, applying a covariance-based technique on data collected through a survey administered to a sample of 213 MBs hit by the 2012 Earthquake in Emilia (Italy). Results revealed that perceived post-disaster business performance is driven by entrepreneur psychological resilience with a mediating role for organizational resilience, in three main areas: robustness, agility and integrity. The study contributes to the literature on resilience and MBs by providing empirical evidence and practical implications.

探索微型企业的灾后绩效感知:企业家的心理弹性如何重要?

摘要:本文通过探讨组织弹性和企业家心理弹性这两个层面的弹性对灾后经营绩效的影响，研究了微型企业(mb)对自然灾害的弹性。由于中小企业倾向于以企业家为中心，企业家心理弹性(EPR)与组织弹性(OR)相互关联，可以发挥重要作用。然而，在现有的文献中，关于OR和EPR如何相关的争论仍然是开放的。我们利用基于协方差的技术，对2012年意大利艾米利亚地震的213 mb样本进行了调查，并利用上层阶梯理论和印迹理论验证了一个结构模型。结果表明，企业家心理弹性对灾后企业绩效的影响主要表现在三个方面:稳健性、敏捷性和完整性。本研究通过提供经验证据和实践意义，对弹性与MBs的研究文献做出了贡献。

期刊介绍： Entrepreneurship and Regional Development is unique in that it addresses the central factors in economic development - entrepreneurial vitality and innovation - as local and regional phenomena. It provides a multi-disciplinary forum for researchers and practitioners in the field of entrepreneurship and small firm development and for those studying and developing the local and regional context in which entrepreneurs emerge, innovate and establish the new economic activities which drive economic growth and create new economic wealth and employment. The Journal focuses on the diverse and complex characteristics of local and regional economies which lead to entrepreneurial vitality and endow the large and small firms within them with international competitiveness.
