The Entrepreneurial Personality in the Context of Resources, Environment, and the Startup Process—A Configurational Approach

Christian Korunka; Hermann Frank; Manfred Lueger; Josef Mugler

The goal of this interdisciplinary study is to analyze the entrepreneurial personality in the context of resources, environment, and the startup process based on a configurational approach. The study focuses on the startup process. A questionnaire was developed to measure the configuration areas of personality, personal resources, environment, and organizing activities. A representative sample of 1,169 nascent entrepreneurs and new business owner–managers was examined. Three startup configurations were found which reveal different patterns of personality characteristics. These patterns are interpreted in the context of aspects of the environment, the resources, and the startup process.

The significance of personality in business start-up intentions, start-up realization and business success

Hermann Frank; Manfred Lueger; Christian Korunka

Numerous studies with contradictory results have been published on the relationships of personality factors with business start-up intentions and business success. Using a comparison of four conceptually similar studies (Vienna Entrepreneurship Studies) as a basis, this paper analyses the varying roles of personality factors in business start-up intentions, in start-up success and in business success. It can be shown that the significance of personality traits among (potential) business founders decreases in the course of start-up/new business development–from initial start-up intentions, to the start-up process and realization, and on to business success (existence/growth). While up to 20% of the variance in the origins of entrepreneurial intentions can be explained by personality traits, this proportion practically drops to zero in explaining business success. The studies also enable one to assess the value of personality in relation to other configuration fields. Overall, the data from the four studies confirms that a meaningful assessment of the value of personality traits is only possible in conjunction with additional influencing factors in the founders environment, resources and processes. The results suggest that especially for the development of business start-up intentions it is necessary to take measures to promote personality characteristics in schools and universities. It is not possible to predict the long-term success of a business by evaluating the personality factors of the business founder in early stages of the start-up process.

Entrepreneurial orientation and education in Austrian secondary schools

Hermann Frank; Christian Korunka; Manfred Lueger; Josef Mugler

Purpose – Entrepreneurship is defined as a “life skill”, and the European Union (EU) has recently called on member states to promote the development of entrepreneurial attitudes from primary school right through to university level. The paper aims to investigate which factors influence entrepreneurial thinking and attitudes towards entrepreneurship in vocational and general secondary education in Austria.Design/methodology/approach – The paper is based on the configuration approach. This approach was adapted as a conceptual model for the origins of entrepreneurial orientation and start‐up inclinations among school pupils. The model consists of four dimensions: person, education context, education process, and environment. A total of 900 Austrian pupils at secondary‐level schools were surveyed with a standardized questionnaire.Findings – The results show that entrepreneurial orientation as well as inclinations to start up a new business can indeed be influenced considerably, with potential targeted influen...

Contextualizing Influence Activities: An Objective Hermeneutical Approach

Manfred Lueger; Karl Sandner; Renate E. Meyer; Gerhard Hammerschmid

Influence activity is a central aspect of organizations and has attracted a wide range of theoretical and empirical research. Most studies in this field rely on categorization schemes to classify either actors or acts. This article draws on the notion of organizations and actors as socially constructed phenomena and understands influence activities as social practices whose shape and meaning is derived from the social contexts they are embedded in. In this paper, we argue that it is necessary to gain an understanding of the activities’ diverging meanings in their organizational contexts before generalized typologies of tactics and strategies can be fruitfully applied. By drawing on ‘objective hermeneutics’ as methodology, our analyses focus on influence activities within three organizational contexts.

Personal characteristics, resources, and environment as predictors of business survival

Christian Korunka; Alexander Kessler; Hermann Frank; Manfred Lueger

Although new venture success is frequently investigated in entrepreneurship, economics, and psychology, the studies published to date vary widely in their theoretical basis, study design, and research methodology. Based on organizational life-cycle theory and interactional personality theory, this longitudinal study analyses predictors of venture survival. Of 354 small business owners observed over 8 years, 283 (79.9%) still had active businesses at the end of the observation period. A survey instrument was developed to measure the relevant characteristics of the entrepreneurs, their resources, and the environment. Logistic regression models predicting medium- and long-term business survival included these characteristics and the interactions between them entered stepwise as blocks. Startup decisions (line of business, type, and size of planned business) were used as control variables. Much of the variance is explained by our research model (Nagelkerkes R 2 = .36 for survival at 4 years, and .33 for survival at 8 years). Although long-term business survival is predicted by the individual variables of startup size and social capital (networks), a larger part of the variance is explained by environment/resource interactions.

Predicting Founding Success And New Venture Survival: A Longitudinal Nascent Entrepreneurship Approach

Alexander Kessler; Christian Korunka; Hermann Frank; Manfred Lueger

Based on a model consisting of (1) indicators related to the entrepreneurial person, (2) resource/environment indicators, and (3) founding process indicators, this paper examines founding success (who ultimately started up a business?) and new venture success/failure (which businesses survived?) in nascent businesses. The study analyzes a sample of 227 nascent entrepreneurs in Austria observed over a period of seven years. We find that characteristics of the person (i.e., risk-taking) affect founding success, but not survival. At the same time, resource and environment aspects did not show an effect on founding success or survival. Finally, we find that aspects of the founding process serve to explain both founding success and survival.

ExpertInnengespräche in der interpretativen Organisationsforschung

Ulrike Froschauer; Manfred Lueger

Seriose und wissenschaftlich fundierte Strategien zur Erkundung eines Forschungsgegenstands operieren mit methodologischen Basisannahmen, welche die Besonderheiten des Untersuchungsbereiches in die Analyseprozeduren einschreiben. Auf diese Weise reguliert die zugrundegelegte Methodologie von der Definition relevanter Forschungsfragen, uber die Charakteristik der selektiv gesammelten oder generierten Materialien, bis hin zur interpretierenden Umarbeitung der Analyseergebnisse zu einem Bericht den Forschungsprozess. Der vorliegende Beitrag konzentriert sich dabei auf die Frage, wie aus der methodologischen Perspektive einer interpretativen Sozialforschung der Gegenstandsbereich „Organisation“ betrachtet werden kann (erster Argumentationsschritt), um daraus Konsequenzen fur die Bedeutung verschiedener Typen von Expertisen und verfahrenstechnische Spezifika fur die Charakteristik und Anwendbarkeit von Expertlnnengesprachen abzuleiten (zweiter Argumentationsschritt). Im Zuge dessen werden drei verschiedene Typen von Expertisen mit jeweils spezifischen Funktionen im Forschungsprozess unterschieden. Anhand einer Fallstudie wird anschliesend die systematische Einbindung von Expertlnnengesprachen in ein interpretatives Forschungsdesign thematisiert (dritter Argumentationsschritt).

Entwicklung und Prüfungeines Modells zur Förderungvon Intrapreneurshipin der dualen Berufsausbildung

Christian Korunka; Hermann Frank; Manfred Lueger; Markus L. Ebner

Zusammenfassung. Die vorliegende Arbeit legt einen Vorschlag zur Erfassung von Intrapreneurship-Kompetenz in der dualen Berufsausbildung vor. Dafur wird ein Rahmenmodell zur Forderung von Intrapreneurship entwickelt und empirisch in einer reprasentativen Querschnittsstudie uberpruft. „Intrapreneurship” wird als ein Zusammenwirken von personalen und fachlich-methodischen Kompetenzen bestimmt, die von den Bereichen Umwelt, Ausbildungskontext und Ausbildungsprozess beeinflusst werden konnen. Regressionsanalytische Auswertungen zeigen, dass die aufgeklarte Varianz bei den fachlich-methodischen Kompetenzen hoher ist als bei den intrapreneurspezifischen personalen Kompetenzen. Zusatzlich wird untersucht, ob spatere Berufsplane in Richtung Intra- bzw. Entrepreneurship auf der Basis des Modells vorhergesagt werden konnen. Diesbezuglich machen die Ergebnisse deutlich, dass sowohl Intra- als auch Entrepreneur/innen uber ein erhohtes Ausmas an intrapreneurspezifischen Kompetenzen verfugen, jedoch Intrapreneur/innen ...

Die Bedeutung der Persönlichkeit für die Gründungsintention, die Gründungsrealisation und den Unternehmenserfolg

Christian Korunka; Hermann Frank; Manfred Lueger

Zusammenfassung. Zur Frage des Stellenwerts der Personlichkeit im Zusammenhang mit Unternehmensgrundung und Unternehmenserfolg liegen zahlreiche Studien mit oft widerspruchlichen Ergebnissen vor. In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird durch einen Vergleich von vier konfigurationstheoretisch basierten und konzeptionell vergleichbaren Studien die Rolle von Personlichkeitseigenschaften fur die Grundungsintention, die Grundungsrealisation und den Unternehmenserfolg differenziert betrachtet. Es kann gezeigt werden, dass Personlichkeitsmerkmale von Grunder/innen fur die Entstehung einer Grundungsneigung eine wesentliche Bedeutung besitzen, die jedoch im Zuge der Grundungsrealisierung und in Bezug auf den Unternehmenserfolg deutlich abnimmt. Aus den Ergebnissen kann abgeleitet werden, dass insbesondere fur die Entwicklung von Grundungsintentionen personlichkeitsfordernde Masnahmen im Bereich der schulischen und universitaren Ausbildung gesetzt werden konnen. Ein moglicher langfristiger Unternehmenserfolg kann aus der B...

Intrapreneurship in der beruflichen Erstausbildung: Versuch einer begrifflichen Klaerung und Operationalisierung

Markus L. Ebner; Christian Korunka; Hermann Frank; Manfred Lueger

In den letzten Jahren ist in Forschung und Praxis ein zunehmendes Interesse an unternehmerisch orientierten MitarbeiterInnen, sogenannten IntrapreneurInnen, zu beobachten. Der vorliegende Artikel beschreibt ein Modell für Intrapreneurship in der beruflichen Erstausbildung (Lehre), das empirisch überprüft wird. Es besteht aus den Dimensionen Eigeninitiative, Innovationsorientierung, Leistungsmotivation, Sozialkompetenz, ausbildungsspezifisches Berufskönnen und ausbildungsspezifische Selbständigkeit. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen die postulierte Dimensionalität.
