“…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.…”

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.

“…At the material level, elements such as open settings, meeting rooms, lounge areas, technical equipment and furniture are combined (Garrett et al , 2017). Social events and training enhance not only individual productivity but also the sense of community (Bouncken et al , 2018a; Garrett et al , 2017). Overall, CWS intend to provide office facilities for daily work and a network of KS, innovation and education (Gandini, 2015).…”

Purpose Coworking spaces (CWS) are a globally increasing phenomenon of new shared work environments used by freelancers, entrepreneurs and small companies that often work in information technology and creative industries. The purpose of this study is to examine coworkers’ knowledge sharing (KS), focusing on attitude, behavior and individual creativity. Several theoretical perspectives are deployed for factors influencing KS. Design/methodology/approach A research model is developed and tested, relying on a sample of 95 German coworkers using a structural equation modeling approach. Findings The attitude towards knowledge sharing and actual sharing behavior in CWS improve coworkers’ creativity. Behavior and attitude differ in positive impact depending on the level of collaboration orientation. Despite the presence of an agreeable atmosphere, lower collaborative orientation results in KS being rated lower. Practical implications Community commitment showed the highest positive impact on KS behavior. For community development, CWS will have to take differences in the KS behavior of their coworker client base into account to foster creativity. Originality/value The authors provide initial empirical insights into the relationship between KS and creativity in CWS. Core coworking values are shown not to form a uniform block but rather “collaboration” is acting as a discriminator.

“…The six questions address social and member-related aspects as well as physical space designing aspects, showing that socio-materiality is important for everyone's success. When coworking-spaces are not well planned or managed, they allow the self-interest of their users and facilitate 'dark traits' (Bouncken et al, 2018a).…”

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.
