Entrepreneurial personalities in political leadership

How does entrepreneurial failure change an entrepreneur's digital identity? Evidence from Twitter data

“…A stream of the literature that focuses more narrowly on entrepreneurs' digital identities uses methods based on digital footprints to capture an entrepreneur's personality and digital identity. For example, Obschonka et al (2017) and Obschonka and Fisch (2018) use a language-based analysis of Twitter data to infer the digital identities of entrepreneurs to compare them to those of managers. Similarly, Tata et al (2017) analyze the language of entrepreneurs via Twitter and compare it to a general population sample.…”

“…Moreover, the personal usage of Twitter by individuals provides a unique data source on individuals who are usually difficult to reach, such as entrepreneurs. For example, recent studies using Twitter data explore the personalities and psychological characteristics of superstar entrepreneurs and managers (e.g., Obschonka and Fisch, 2018;Obschonka et al, 2017), business angels (Block et al, 2019), CEOs (Lee et al, 2017), and CMOs (Winkler et al, 2020). These studies indicate that the combination of Twitter data and language analysis enables fresh insights into research questions that were previously difficult to assess with conventional research methods and data sources.…”

<p>Impact of Entrepreneurial Leadership on Innovative Work Behavior: Examining Mediation and Moderation Mechanisms</p>

“…[38][39][40] In the last two decades entrepreneurial leadership (EL), along with other leadership styles, has become a hot topic for discussion and has gained wide scholarly attention in the entrepreneurship and leadership domain. [41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51] However, focusing on organizational context, further studies of EL in a wide range of entrepreneurial and SME contexts (size, stage of development, sector) is needed. 52 Studies by Renko, El Tarabishy, et al 25 and Gupta et al 41 offered a comprehensive EL construct, arguing that this leadership influences and directs the synergetic performance of group members toward accomplishing those organizational goals that relate to recognizing and exploiting contingencies, which ultimately influence the success of EL.…”

Developing a Valid and Reliable Measure of Product Innovativeness for Entrepreneurship Research

“…These subjective measurements are prone to validity and consistency issues (e.g., self‐reporting, selective memory, and social desirability biases), and cannot be verified externally. As we know, entrepreneurs tend to be overconfident and overoptimistic regarding the innovativeness of their products and their ability to successfully launch and grow the new venture (Hayward, Shepherd, and Griffin ; Hmieleski and Baron ; Obschonka and Fisch ). Moreover, when using a measure that is solely based on personal judgments, comparative analysis cannot be performed among products in the same market, nor across markets, nor over time.…”

“…Thus, it is expected that this PI measure will be valid and consistent across observations and observers. Therefore, the measure can be useful for entrepreneurs who tend to rely on their perceptions of their products, which are usually optimistic (Obschonka and Fisch ; Rosenbusch, Brinckmann, and Bausch ), and investors who seek reliable information prior to investing in new ventures and are influenced by the entrepreneurs’ perceptions (Clark ; Parhankangas and Ehrlich ). As the new measure facilitates more precise identification of issues for entrepreneurs or investors regarding their actual products and other competing products in the market, consequently, it leads to better decision‐making in investments and businesses.…”
