Data_Sheet_3_Perceptions of Victimhood and Entrepreneurial Tendencies.pdf

There is a growing scientific interest around entrepreneurship. One central line of research examines how different personality traits and characteristics such as creativity or resilience relate to entrepreneurial intentions and behavior. In the current research, we add to this literature by focusing on trait victimhood, a trait that entrepreneurship research has overlooked and may be relevant to understanding entrepreneurial tendencies. In two studies in Israel among a sample of entrepreneurship students (Study 1) and a sample representing the general public (Study 2), we show that trait victimhood is negatively related to entrepreneurial personality (Study 1) and behavior (Study 2). Moreover, Study 2 suggests that a strong sense of self-efficacy may buffer against trait victimhood’s adverse effects on behavioral entrepreneurship.

围绕创业的科学研究兴趣日益浓厚。一项核心研究探讨了不同的人格特质和特征，如创造力或韧性，如何与创业意图和行为相关联。在当前的研究中，我们通过聚焦于创业研究中所忽视的特质受害者身份这一特质，为相关文献增添了新的内容，该特质可能与理解创业倾向有关。在以色列的两个研究中，一个针对创业学生样本（研究1）和一个代表公众样本的研究（研究2），我们表明特质受害者身份与创业人格（研究1）和行为（研究2）呈负相关。此外，研究2表明，强烈的自我效能感可能能够缓解特质受害者身份对行为创业的负面影响。
