“…The initial methodological assumption assumed building separate sets of indicators for each of the dimensions. Sets of indicators for individual dimensions began to be built based on the literature on the subject in the field of: artistry (Bayrakci et al, 2009;McHugh, 2015;Szostak, 2020;Walter, 2015;Wilson & Brown, 2012;Woodward & Funk, 2010), creativity (Dufour et al, 2020;Gangi, 2018;Lehmann & Gaskins, 2019;Leso et al, 2017;Szostak & Sułkowski, 2020;Taleghani, 2012;Zhou et al, 2008), managerial issues (Baker et al, 2012;Bulei et al, 2014;Elstad & Jansson, 2020;Hallier, 2004;Hatch et al, 2006;Hracs, 2015;Lähdesmäki, 2012;López-Fernández et al, 2018;Lutas et al, 2020), leadership (Adler, 2006;Alvesson & Blom, 2015;Carroll & Levy, 2008;Jankurová et al, 2017;Lord & Brown, 2001;Nikolski, 2015;Postuła & Majczyk, 2018;Raso et al, 2020;Stuke, 2013;Woodward & Funk, 2010), and entrepreneurship (Bureau & Zander, 2014;Cardon et al, 2009;Clarke & Holt, 2019;Damásio & Bicacro, 2017;Davidsson, 2006;Enhuber, 2014;Lewis et al, 2016;…”

“…Trying to catalog, how researchers approached the problem of perception of a particular identity, we can conclude that: they limit the issue of the research from general, widely defined identity into a particular type of identity, e.g. identity of nurse manager responsibilities (Baker et al, 2012), identity if project manager (Lutas et al, 2020); they carefully chose the group perceiving the particular identity, e.g. teachers (Kasmaienezhadfard et al, 2015), designers (Kunrath et al, 2020), nurses (Kiran et al, 2019;Raso et al, 2020), consumers of particular products (Horn & Salvendy, 2009), undergraduate business students (Kohail et al, 2016); or they investigate the problem in comparison of two research groups, e.g.…”

Because personal identity is one of the key elements constituting an individual, and perception of different type of identities is a key feature in identity work, we think that the research in the area of perception of artists, creators, managers, entrepreneurs, and leaders should bring important conclusions to the understanding of those identities. We ran a literature review and quantitative research among society representatives (n=160). The main findings of our research show that artists, creators, managers, entrepreneurs, and leaders are perceived differentially by society although we can find areas of similarities and important differences. The hypotheses were confirmed using chi-square test of independence dedicated to small samples which don't have a normal distribution (p<0.001): H1. Majority of the society does not recognize differences between creativity and artistry; H2. Creativity and entrepreneurship have similar perceptions among society; H3. Leadership and organizing have similar perceptions among society. The results of this research can be used to compare the identity perceived by individuals and the perception of these identities by society.

Objective: Post-communist countries, affected by decades of one of the most repressive political systems, are perceived as a particular area of gaps in social capital. These gaps influence the whole spectrum of behaviors of individuals, groups, and society. Countries that changed their political system start a journey of external (economic, social) and internal (personal, interpersonal, group) changes. The post-communist burden determines human behavior, so leaders and managers should pay attention to these consequences. The research deals with the differences in perception of creative identities (a creator, artist, manager, entrepreneur, and leader) by Polish society compared to other countries without communist history. Methodology: Quantitative research (n = 160) in the form of a survey among people from Poland and other countries. Verification of hypotheses by chisquare test of independence used (SPSS, MS Excel). Next, a qualitative analysis of discrepancies was undertaken (NVivo). Findings: There are no statistical differences in the perception of creative identities of a creator, artist, manager, entrepreneur, and leader between citizens of Poland and citizens of other countries. The additional qualitative analysis exposed that differences in perception of the creative identities between investigated societies might have necessary consequences while managing or leading groups (and organizations) dominated by creative individuals. These differences are shown in detail, and links between our research results and the literature are built. Value Added: It looks like a post-communist burden in current Poland has a minimal impact on the perception of creative individuals. Thus, it can be said that communism disappears from the social capital during one generation (ca. 30 years). Recommendations: Further research exploring the perception of creative identities by different analogical groups of compared societies would be valuable.

“…The survey entitled "Perception of creativity, artistry, entrepreneurship, leadership and managerial abilities" was divided into four segments. There was a list of inquiries (each question connected to a single indicator) divided into thematic sections discussing each analyzed dimension: entrepreneurship (Fillis & Rentschler, 2010;Toscher, 2020), management (Elstad & Jansson, 2020;Lutas et al, 2020), leadership (Jankurová et al, 2017;Raso et al, 2020), creativity (Deresiewicz, 2020;Dufour et al, 2020;Szostak & Sułkowski, 2020a), and artistry (McHugh, 2015;Szostak, 2020). All questions were closed, and a five-point Likert scale was designed for replies: 1. definitely not, 2. rather not, 3. hard to say, 4. rather yes, and 5. definitely yes.…”

The interdisciplinary research on the perception of entrepreneurs, managers, leaders, creators, and artists by individuals with and without entrepreneurial identity brings significant conclusions for understanding the way of thinking of entrepreneurs, their internal features, and motivations of their decisions. For this purpose, an international quantitative examination (n = 160) was undertaken. The research displayed that individuals with and without entrepreneurial identity perceive entrepreneurs, managers, leaders, creators, and artists statistically similar (the hypotheses were confirmed using the chi-square test of independence devoted to small samples without a normal distribution at p < 0.001). The negative verification of the hypotheses was astonishment and should be perceived as a novelty in the investigated area. The novelty can be perceived as an entrepreneurial potential existing in each individual (similar perception of the creative identities) that requires a specific spark and a fuel. The supplementary qualitative analysis of the variances among the 50 features constituting the investigated identities revealed that individuals with and without entrepreneurial identity see particular features of the investigated identities somewhat differently. Analysis of these differences was made, and the most important, the least important, and the most equally perceived were described and illustrated in detail. The results were discussed with the literature on the subject, confirming most other researchers' theses and revealing some contradictions. The conclusions reveal characteristics of an entrepreneur's identity perception by individuals with and without entrepreneurial factors and the meaning of all investigated identities in an entrepreneur's identity. The research outcomes may be used to understand the qualities of entrepreneurial identity and the perception of investigated identities by individuals, groups (with particular underlining of business organizations), and societies dominated by persons with and without entrepreneurial factors. The applicability of the findings is broad, mainly due to the crucial role of entrepreneurship in today's world as potential in each individual. Particular triggers should be catalyzed instead of looking for entrepreneurial individuals. The education process of entrepreneurs should focus on revealing entrepreneurial potential underlining the role of inspiration, and discovering the motifs of entrepreneurial activity.
