PublicationMeasuring the social identity of entrepreneurs: Scale development and international validation(Elsevier Science Publ., 2016-09)
;Gruber, Marc ;Fauchart, EmmanuelleSocial identity theory offers an important lens to improve understanding of founders as enterprising individuals, the venture creation process, and its outcomes. Yet, further advances are hindered by the lack of valid scales to measure founders' social identities. Drawing on social identity theory and a systematic classification of founders' social identities (Darwinians, Communitarians, and Missionaries), we develop and test a corresponding 15-item scale in the Alpine region and validate it in 13 additional countries and regions. The scale allows identifying founders' social identities and relating them to processes and outcomes in entrepreneurship. The scale is available online in 16 languages.Type: journal articleJournal: Journal of Business VenturingVolume: 31Issue: 5Scopus© Citations 125 -

PublicationFailure or voluntary exit? Reassessing the female underperformance hypothesisWe reevaluate the female underperformance hypothesis by challenging the assumption that female-owned ventures are more likely to fail. Instead of equating exit with failure, we draw on exit literature and feminist theories to argue that female entrepreneurs are actually more likely than males to exit voluntarily. We argue for further gender differences by using an even more fine-grained conceptualization of entrepreneurial exit (failure, exit for personal reasons, and exit for other professional/financial opportunities). Post-hoc analyses also point to within-gender heterogeneity depending on family status. A sample probe of 219 Spanish entrepreneurs who had exited their business supports our overall reasoning.Type: journal articleJournal: Journal of Business VenturingVolume: 30Issue: 6

PublicationValue Creation in Family Firms: A Model of FitWe propose a framework describing how family ownership can create or destroy value depending on the goals, resources, and governance of the family firm, which are each influenced by the family owners. Taking a contingency perspective, we suggest that a fit is required for all three elements - family-influenced goals, resources, and governance - for the family firm to flourish over generations. We conclude with a suggested research agenda indicating research opportunities at the nexus of these identified elements. Further we provide some guiding questions for practitioners that might stimulate fruitful discussions among family firm owners and managers about how to realize "fit."Type: journal articleJournal: Journal of Family Business StrategyVolume: 6Issue: 2

PublicationThe Family's Financial Support as a "Poisoned Gift": A Family Embeddedness Perspective on Entrepreneurial IntentionsWe argue that greater availability of financial support by the family for creating a new venture entails stronger financial and non-financial obligations. Cognizant of these obligations, potential founders anticipate negative performance implications for the planned firm and threats to the family system in the case of their non-fulfillment. We thus postulate that the formation of actual entrepreneurial intentions is less likely the greater the available financial support. We confirm this by studying a sample of 23,304 respondents from 19 countries and find the negative relationship to be dependent on family cohesion and on individual entrepreneurial self-efficacy.Type: journal articleJournal: Journal of small business management : JSBMVolume: 55Issue: S1DOI: 10.1111/jsbm.12273

PublicationHow Much Am I Expected to Pay for My Parents' Firm? An Institutional Logics Perspective on Family Discounts(Wiley-Blackwell SSH, 2015-03-24)Patel, Pankaj C.Recent evidence suggests that successors do not simply inherit their parents' firm, but have to pay a certain price. Building on institutional logics literature, we explore successors' family discount expectations, defined as the rebate expected from parents in comparison to nonfamily buyers when assuming control of the firm. We find that family cohesion increases discount expectations while successors' fear of failure and family equity stake in the firm decrease discount expectations. Higher education in business or economics weakens these effects. On average, in our study comprised of 16 countries, successors expect a 57% family discount.Type: journal articleJournal: Entrepreneurship Theory and PracticeVolume: 40Issue: 5DOI: 10.1111/etap.12161

PublicationTurning Agents into Psychological Principals: Aligning Interests of Non-Owners Through Psychological OwnershipPrincipals who delegate tasks to agents face the perennial challenge of overcoming agency problems. We investigate whether feelings of ownership among senior managers in the absence of formal ownership can align agents' interests with those of principals, thus turning agents into psychological principals. Using a moderated mediation model, we find that psychological ownership is positively related to company performance through the mediating effect of individual-level entrepreneurial behaviour. We also find that the effect of psychological ownership on individual-level entrepreneurial behaviour and, ultimately, company performance is weaker for high levels of monitoring compared to low levels. These findings offer important contributions to agency, psychological ownership, and entrepreneurship literatures.Type: journal articleJournal: Journal of Management StudiesVolume: 50Issue: 3DOI: 10.1111/joms.12017
