ENTREPRENEURS' MENTAL HEALTH AND WELL-BEING: A REVIEW AND RESEARCH AGENDA KU Leuven
© 2018 Academy of Management Perspectives. Interest in entrepreneurs' mental health and well-being (MWB) is growing in recognition of the role of MWB in entrepreneurs' decision making, motivation, and action. Yet relevant knowledge is dispersed across disciplines, which makes what we currently understand about entrepreneurs' MWB unclear. In this systematic review I integrate insights from 144 empirical studies. These studies show that research ...
Predicting Entrepreneurial Career Intentions: Values and the Theory of Planned Behavior KU Leuven
Integrating predictions from the theory of human values with the theory of planned behavior (TPB), our primary goal is to investigate mechanisms through which individual values are related to entrepreneurial career intentions using a sample of 823 students from four European countries. We find that openness and self-enhancement values relate positively to entrepreneurial career intentions and that these relationships are partly mediated by ...
Transformational instructor-leadership and academic performance: a moderated mediation model of student engagement and structural distance KU Leuven
© 2018 UCU Researchers are becoming increasingly interested in the use of transformational leadership theory in higher education teaching (often referred to as transformational instructor-leadership). Much of this body of research investigates a direct association between transformational instructor-leadership and student outcomes. In the present study, we take a step further by investigating (a) student engagement as a mechanism in the ...
Entrepreneurs’ achieved success: developing a multi-faceted measure KU Leuven
© 2018, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature. Firm performance is typically measured via objective financial indicators. However, researchers increasingly acknowledge that entrepreneurs do not measure their success solely in financial terms but that a range of often subjective indicators matter to them. This article contributes to the debate on entrepreneurial performance by studying how entrepreneurs assess their ...
Subliminal influence on generosity KU Leuven
© 2016, Economic Science Association. We experimentally subliminally prime subjects prior to charity donation decisions by showing words that have connotations of pro-social values for a very brief time (17 ms). Our main finding is that, compared to a baseline condition, the pro-social prime increases donations by approximately 10–17 % among subjects with strong pro-social preferences (universalism values). We find a similar effect when ...
Measuring employee innovation A review of existing scales and the development of the innovative behavior and innovation support inventories across cultures KU Leuven
© 2017, © Emerald Publishing Limited. Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to develop a model of employee innovative behavior conceptualizing it as distinct from innovation outputs and as a multi-faceted behavior rather than a simple count of “innovative acts” by employees. It understands individual employee innovative behaviors as a micro-foundation of firm intrapreneurship that is embedded in and influenced by contextual factors such as ...
The person in social entrepreneurship: A systematic review of research on the social entrepreneurial personality KU Leuven
© 2017 John Wiley & Sons Ltd. All rights reserved. This chapter presents a systematic review of 50 empirical studies on the social entrepreneurial personality. It aims to answer the question of who social entrepreneurs are in order to help understand why certain individuals but not others create social ventures and persist in their choice. The review findings reveal a focus on four distinct aspects of personality-motivations, traits, ...
Person-Organization Fit and Incentives: A Causal Test KU Leuven
© 2017 INFORMS. We investigate the effects of organizational culture and personal values on performance under individual and team contest incentives. We develop a model of regard for others and in-group favoritism that predicts interaction effects between organizational values and personal values in contest games. These predictions are tested in a computerized lab experiment with exogenous control of both organizational values and incentives. In ...
More than money: Developing an integrative multi-factorial measure of entrepreneurial success KU Leuven
© 2015, © The Author(s) 2015. This article conceptualizes and operationalizes ‘subjective entrepreneurial success’ in a manner which reflects the criteria employed by entrepreneurs, rather than those imposed by researchers. We used two studies to explore this notion; the first qualitative enquiry investigated success definitions using interviews with 185 German entrepreneurs; five factors emerged from their reports: firm performance, workplace ...
