“…Wales et al, 2013 Narcissism weakens the positive effects that entrepreneurial orientation has on firm performance. Engelen et al, 2016;Bouncken et al, 2020 Executives' narcissism has no significant effect on the relationship between entrepreneurial orientation and performance.…”

“…Researchers have used social exchange theory to analyze narcissistic entrepreneurs' entrepreneurial motives and attitudes (two articles, e.g., Hmieleski and Lerner, 2016;Wu et al, 2019a). Research on the relationship between narcissism and entrepreneurial outcomes (e.g., entrepreneurial performance, success, and failure) mostly applies the upper echelons theory (UET; seven articles, e.g., Wales et al, 2013;Engelen et al, 2016;Kraus et al, 2018;Leonelli et al, 2019;Shabbir and Kousar, 2019;Bouncken et al, 2020;Yu et al, 2020). This is done to explore the impact of narcissism among entrepreneurs or senior management on corporate performance.…”

“…Entrepreneurial researchers have also used the subscales of dark traits to measure narcissism. For example, the Dirty Dozen scale, developed by Jonason and Webster (2010), has been used in several studies (e.g., Tucker et al, 2017;Kraus et al, 2018;Wu et al, 2019aWu et al, ,b, 2020Bouncken et al, 2020). The Dirty Dozen scale consists of four narcissism-related items, such as the expectation of others' admiration or praise.…”

Narcissism and Entrepreneurship: A Systematic Review and an Agenda for Future Research

et al. 2021

Although narcissism is an important factor influencing entrepreneurial activity and outcomes, not much research has been conducted on the relationship between narcissism and entrepreneurship. To summarize the current literature on this relationship and provide an agenda for further in-depth research, a systematic review was conducted based on the PRISMA guidelines using Web of Science, Elsevier ScienceDirect, and EBSCO host databases. Accordingly, 33 articles have been identified as being eligible for the final synthesis. The findings of the present study showed, in general, that (1) life history theory, person-environment fit theory (P-E theory), and career choice theory were mostly used to explore the topic of narcissism and entrepreneurial intention, social exchange theory was used to analyze narcissistic entrepreneurs' entrepreneurial motives and attitudes, and upper echelons theory (UET) was applied to research on the relationship between narcissism and entrepreneurial outcomes, (2) Narcissistic Personality Inventory (NPI) and narcissistic sub-dimension of the Dark Triad were frequently used self-report scales among 23 identified empirical studies, and (3) narcissism has both bright and dark sides to entrepreneurial activities and outcomes. While narcissism makes potential entrepreneurs have higher entrepreneurial intentions and greater willingness to take risks, it also prevents entrepreneurs from discovering opportunities, acquiring resources, and learning from failure. Besides, results also showed that relations between narcissism and entrepreneurial intentions and performance are more complex. For a deeper understanding of this complex relations and advancing research on narcissism and entrepreneurship, more research is necessary to explore the relations between narcissism and entrepreneurship-related variables from a temporal perspective and at the team level, examine the relationship between narcissism and entrepreneurship ethics, and investigate the interaction effects of narcissism and other personalities.

“…The coworking space provider experiences isomorphism while observing the environment and learning about or imitating attractive solutions. The coworking space provider is also affected by the behavior of their users who have great autonomy with low hierarchical pressures, still facing potential competition and self-serving behavior (Bouncken et al 2018a(Bouncken et al , 2018b(Bouncken et al , 2020a. The users act upon the coworking space providers' logics but also by drawing on models from the environment.…”

Entrepreneurship of an institutional field: the emergence of coworking spaces for digital business models

2020

Coworking spaces have been proliferating world-wide in urban and rural areas while facilitating entrepreneurship and new, especially digital business models. Our research analyzes the worldwide expansion by drawing upon mechanisms from institutional theory. We argue that the sense of community, emotional activation, the local communities together with the digital linkages and the open office allowed coworking spaces to evolve as a real space for entrepreneurship. The common lifestyle and the high digital identity of the users further explain the emergence of this entrepreneurship field that shows high convergent forms of coworking spaces. The key divergence comes with different ownership models.

“…The recent trend of coworking-spaces gives rise to this question. Initially developed in the Silicon Valley for freelancers and start-ups, coworking-spaces offer a physical space for breeding innovative ideas (Bouncken et al, 2020a;Fuzi, 2015;Gandini, 2015). The first, and still the majority, of coworking-spaces operate as shared offices with infrastructure that support freelancers and startups (Gandini, 2015).…”

Firms search for new ways of improving their innovativeness and internal entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurial orientation has been shown to be a powerful facilitator for these tasks. Previous research has shown that entrepreneurial orientation increases by empowerment and proper leadership, yet we know little about the spaces in which it proliferates. We argue that social interaction and autonomy, as prevalent in coworking-spaces, strengthens and complements entrepreneurial orientation. Following the literature on entrepreneurial orientation, as well as coworking-spaces, we pursue a multiple case study analysis. We find that the elements of entrepreneurial orientation as outset by previous studies does not fully describe the entrepreneurial orientation in corporate coworking-spaces. Our findings stress that corporate entrepreneurship research and practice needs to pay more attention to the spatial and interior settings for improving innovativeness and internal entrepreneurship.
