Entrepreneurial passion: The nature of emotions in entrepreneurship
2005
Passion has long been recognized as a central component of entrepreneurial motivation and success (Bird, 1988; Smilor, 1997). Despite the virtually unchallenged view that passion is important for venture creation and growth, surprising little systematic theoretical or empirical work exists concerning the notion of passion and its influence on entrepreneurial activities (Shane et al., 2003; Baum et al., 2001). The purpose of this paper is two-fold.

The experience of work in an entrepreneurial context is saturated with emotional experiences. While the literature on the relation between affect and entrepreneurial performance (EP) is growing, there was no quantitative integration of the results so far. This study addresses this gap and meta-analytically integrates the results from 17 studies (N = 3810) in order to estimate the effect size for the relation between positive (PA) and negative affect (NA), on the one hand, and EP, on the other hand. The metaanalysis includes studies in English language, published until August 2016. The results indicate a significant positive relation between PA and EP, r = 0.18. The overall NA-EP relation was not significant, r = −0.12. Only state NA has a significant negative relation with EP (r = −0.16). The moderating role of several conceptual (i.e., emotion duration, integrality etc.), sample (i.e., gender, age, education) and methodological characteristics of the studies (i.e., type of measurements etc.) are explored and implications for future research are discussed.
Determining the Validity and Reliability of Entrepreneurial Emotion
Academy of Entrepreneurship Journal, 2019
The involvement of students in entrepreneurship is influenced by their emotions, especially in the early stages of business start-ups. The study aims to measure the entrepreneurial emotion among university students in Higher Learning Institutions. However, entrepreneurial emotion construct is still underdeveloped especially for students who are exposed in formal entrepreneurship education. Hence, this study intends to explore and determine the dimensionality of items measuring the constructs of entrepreneurial emotion. A total of 200 sets of questionnaires were distributed to final year students, but only 170 students had answered them. This entrepreneurial emotional instrument is found to have high reliability and good construct validity. The finding of explanatory factor analysis discovered two components of entrepreneurial emotion with 74.05% of total variance explained in this study. This study contributes to the measurement of entrepreneurial emotional construct especially in e...
Exploring the Heart: Entrepreneurial Emotion Is a Hot Topic
Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice, 2012
Entrepreneurial emotion refers to the affect, emotions, moods, and/or feelings-of individuals or a collective-that are antecedent to, concurrent with, and/or a consequence of, the entrepreneurial process, meaning the recognition/creation, evaluation, reformulation, and/or the exploitation of a possible opportunity. In this paper, we explore this working definition of entrepreneurial emotion, what it means, and some important advances the field has made in this area of research. We also highlight fundamental avenues for future research that are sorely in need of study. Finally, we introduce the seven papers in this special issue on the Heart of Entrepreneurship and how they move the conversation on entrepreneurial emotion forward.
Effects of emotions on entrepreneurial attitudes, self-efficacy and intentions
African Journal of Hospitality, Tourism and Leisure, 2019
Entrepreneurship is considered as instrumental in job creation, wealth creation, personal development and economic growth of emerging economies. Although entrepreneurial intentions (EI) are fundamental to the creation of new business ventures, existing models used to predict an individual's EI overlooked the personlevel psychological variables such as emotions and the role played by context. To fill this void in literature, we examined how emotions influence attitude towards entrepreneurship, self-efficacy and EI. Data collected from 211 participants were analysed using a step-wise regression and PROCESS macro-based on SPSS. The results revealed that the activated unpleasant emotion negatively and significantly influenced an individual's entrepreneurial attitude and entrepreneurial self-efficacy, both of which significantly influenced EI. In other words, the relationship between the activated unpleasant emotion and EI was significantly mediated by both entrepreneurial attitu...
Managers' emotional displays and employees' willingness to act entrepreneurially
Journal of Business Venturing, 2008
In this study we draw on the literature of emotions and entrepreneurial motivation to analyze how and why emotional displays of managers influence the willingness of employees to act entrepreneurially. Using an experimental design and 2912 assessments nested within 91 employees from 31 small entrepreneurially oriented firms, we find that managers' displays of confidence and satisfaction about entrepreneurial projects enhance employees' willingness to act entrepreneurially, whereas displays of frustration, worry, and bewilderment diminish employees' willingness. Moreover, we find that displays of satisfaction, frustration, worry, and bewilderment moderate the effect of managers' displayed confidence on employees' willingness to act entrepreneurially. Our findings have implications for the emotions and entrepreneurial motivation literature.
IS PASSION CONTAGIOUS? TRANSFERENCE OF ENTREPRENEURIAL EMOTION TO EMPLOYEES (SUMMARY
2006
The scholarly entrepreneurship community is coming to recognize what practicing entrepreneurs have known for some timethat passion is a central element of the entrepreneurial process. Recent developments have more carefully defined the construct of entrepreneurial passion and modeled its impact on entrepreneurial behaviors. This paper takes the next step by building a model of how that passion may be transferred from entrepreneur to employees. The question of interest is how entrepreneurs can facilitate the contagion of their own passion to others.

The role of anticipated affective ambivalence in the entrepreneurial process
Recent theoretical and empirical studies suggest that emotions play a significant role in the entrepreneurial process. In the present study, we investigated the role of anticipated affective ambivalence (that is, future oriented affect relating to the expectancy of feeling both positive and negative affect) from nascent entrepreneurship in students’ entrepreneurial intent. Based on extant theory, we propose that students’ anticipated affective ambivalence moderates the impact of attitudes towards entrepreneurship, perceived behavioral control and subjective norm, on entrepreneurial intent. We empirically tested our propositions using a sample of 1624 students from different universities in Greece and data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. We discuss the implications of our results in the light of the increasing interest of universities in Europe to promote entrepreneurship and develop suitable educational programs.
