Narcissism, workaholism, family support and new venture performance: a moderated mediation model
Small Business Economics. 2024. Vol. 63. P. 379–419.
Prior studies have found that an entrepreneur’s level of narcissism may correspond with higher frm performance in some contexts, but existing research has yet to fully explore all of the critical contingencies that shape these nuanced relationships. In this study, we examine how narcissistic traits of a new venture founder enhance frm performance and we extend the literature by revealing workaholism as a crucial mediator of this relationship. We also examine family support (both emotional and instrumental) as an important boundary condition that moderates the link between workaholism and new venture performance. Using a sample of 1,518 student entrepreneurs from 43 countries, we demonstrate that narcissism can enhance new venture performance through workaholism of the founder. Furthermore, we found that family emotional support diminishes the positive relationship between workaholism and performance. Finally, we discuss the implications of our work for both theory and practice.

Три с половиной года остаётся до 2030-го – окончания срока реализации Целей устойчивого развития (ЦУР) – главной международной инициативы, устанавливающей долгосрочные ориентиры для будущего человечества. Уже очевидно, что она провалилась: преодоление бедности, решение экологических проблем и построение инклюзивного и справедливого общества остались красивой мечтой. Кто-то может воспринимать ЦУР как памятник человеческой наивности. Но надо понимать, что эта ...

This article examines the musealisation of industrial heritage and its role in regional and corporate branding. The relevance of this study stems from deindustrialisation processes, the growth of industrial tourism, and the need to preserve historical memory, which is particularly important in the context of Russian realities—the lack of a legal definition of the concept ...

Green transitions are widely expected to attract cleaner capital and accelerate decarbonization; however, emerging-economy evidence increasingly challenges this assumption. This study examines the dynamic relationship between energy transition indicators and capital inflows in BRICS+ economies over the period 1996–2022, explicitly testing the “Green Haven” hypothesis under conditions of global uncertainty. Unlike much of the existing ...

This study conducted in Indonesia between 2000 and 2023, demonstrates a complex, non-linear interplay between the economic environment and the emergence of clean energy start-ups. Using Autoregressive Distributed Lag and Markov Switching models, the research shows that start-up formation coincides with periods of lower GDP growth, suggesting that innovation is often spurred by necessity. Two ...

Abstract. Over the years of market reforms, China has moved from an autarkic economy to the position of the world’s largest trading power, becoming a global leader both in export volume and in total foreign trade turnover. For a long time, China’s export success was commonly explained by her use of comparative advantages in labor-intensive ...

This article investigates how a scientific approach to entrepreneurial decisionmaking shapes the performance of student-founded new ventures across countries through the psychological resource of founder resilience and varying institutional conditions. Building on the theory-based view, psychological capital theory, and an institutional perspective, the study conceptualizes scientific decision-making as a deliberate, evidence-oriented logic that entrepreneurs employ ...

A theoretical perspective on grandiose narcissism suggests four forms of it (sanctity, admiration, heroism, rivalry) and states that these forms conduce to different ways of thinking and acting. Guided by this perspective, we examined in a multinational and multicultural study (61 countries; N = 15,039) how narcissism forms are linked to cognitions and behaviors prompted by the COVID-19 ...

In a multinational study (61 countries; N = 15,039), we examined how collective narcissists, both agentic (ACN) and communal (CCN), reacted cognitively (through endorsement of unfounded conspiracy and health beliefs) and behaviorally (via prevention, hoarding, and prosociality) to the pandemic. Higher ACN and CCN predicted greater endorsement of COVID-19 unfounded beliefs and higher likelihood of having recently engaged ...

We further argue that the effect of instrumental family support is enhanced by the level of emotional support, in the form of family cohesiveness. ...

Entrepreneurs employ various behavioral logics in the venture creation process, including effectuation and causation. Where prior studies suggest that both causal and effectual approaches are positively related to firm performance, the extant literature has not examined how the institutional context influences this relationship. This study explores how country-level institutions moderate the link between causal and ...
