PublicationCharitable donations by the self-employedThis article analyzes an important aspect of the social behavior of the self-employed in America. We ask whether the self-employed express their social responsibility to society by giving more to charity than the general population, and if so which charitable causes they give to. We use social identity theory to generate hypotheses about the determinants and objectives of charitable giving among members of this socially and economically important group. Testing these hypotheses with nationally representative, longitudinal US data, we find that the American self-employed are indeed more likely to exhibit social responsibility toward their community by giving to charities than the general population. While the self-employed support broadly similar charities to the general population, they give substantially more to organizations which: address issues in the local community; provide health care; and serve the needy.Type: journal articleJournal: Small Business Economics: An Entrepreneurship JournalVolume: 43Issue: 4

PublicationHow do Intrapreneurs and Entrepreneurs differ in their motivation to start a new ventureBased on the Theory of Planned Behavior, we investigate how early differences in venturing motivation inform the selection to become an intrapreneur for your employer rather than an independent entrepreneur. Using the combined PSED I & II data in a bivariate probit model with sample selection we analyze the effect of four motivational scales on the probability to self-select into nascent venturing and to be selected by an organization into nascent intrapreneurship. Our estimations address possible selection bias in occupational choice. We find that the same motives that make individuals less likely to start any sort of business make them more likely to be attractive candidates for intrapreneurship. We discuss implications for entrepreneurs, intrapreneurs, researchers, and policy makers.Type: journal articleJournal: Frontiers of Entrepreneurship ResearchVolume: 32Issue: 4
