Background and Purpose: Despite scholarly interest in understanding the role of different determinants on entrepreneurs and their behavior, little is known about the relationship between entrepreneurial curiosity and innovativeness. This research explores the relationship between entrepreneurial curiosity, which motivates entrepreneurs to gather information about their business and innovativeness that motivate entrepreneurs to incorporate innovations into entrepreneurial processes.
Design/Methodology/Approach: Participants in this study were entrepreneurs from Slovenia and USA. By using structural equation modelling, we linked the two constructs of entrepreneurial curiosity and innovativeness to test the influence.
Results: Results indicate that entrepreneurial curiosity positively influences innovativeness. The results of this study indicate that at the frame of entrepreneurship psychology entrepreneurial curiosity is important for innovativeness.
Conclusion: This paper links the two studied constructs and presents a valuable contribution for entrepreneurship theory; therefore, the results could be used for a further scientific research as also for practical implications.
This paper presents an analysis of organizational changes perceived by the
employees in the organizations where Technology Enhanced Learning was
facilitated by tools such as wiki, (we)blog, the Internet forum and the
social network, practice often considered as Elearning 2.0. Our research
focuses on the technologically advanced organizations, leaders in the CT and
IS adoption. We specifically observe the perception of influence on the
organizational structure, organizational culture and the knowledge management
processes in the organization. Our findings are that the TEL tools are
perceived to have a noteworthy impact on the organizational change in the
three mentioned areas, and that the perception of change significantly
differs in dependence on whether the employees are regular or are not regular
users of organizational structure and knowledge management processes.
