Individual-Level Resources and New Business Activity: The Contingent Role of Institutional Context
2013
Dirk De Clercq Dominic S.K Lim Chang Hoon Oh
This study considers the relationship between peopleโs access to resources and their likelihood to start a new business, and particularly how this relationship might be moderated by formal and informal institutions. Individual-level resources might be more potent for new business creation in countries with financial and educational systems that are more oriented toward entrepreneurship, higher levels of trust, and cultures that are less hierarchical and conservative. The hypotheses are tested by undertaking random-effects multilevel analyses of a multi-source data set that spans a 5-year time period (2003โ2007). The studyโs findings offer important implications for research and practice.
