Measuring the social identity of entrepreneurs: Scale development and international validation

2016

Philipp Sieger Marc Gruber Emmanuelle Fauchart Thomas Zellweger

Abstract Social 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 foundersโ€™ social identities. Drawing on social identity theory and a systematic classification of foundersโ€™ 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 foundersโ€™ social identities and relating them to processes and outcomes in entrepreneurship. The scale is available online in 16 languages.
