“…Legitimated entities are regularly more successful than those without legitimacy [ 31 ] since they will have better access to critical resources for their activity [ 32 ]. They will also improve their credibility and trust levels in front of society [ 27 , 33 ]. In fact, a clear relationship between holding high legitimacy levels and better organizational performance has been identified [ 34 ].…”

COVID-19 has generated an uncertain environment, which has motivated changes in consumers’ behavior globally. However, previous studies have not clarified if these effects are equally strong throughout the population. In this research, we want to analyze if there are behavioral differences between long-COVID consumers and others. For this purpose, we analyzed a sample of 522 consumers divided into three groups depending on their type of exposure to the disease: those with long COVID; ones that had recovered from COVID-19; and those that had never had COVID-19. The results show that the effect that COVID-19 has on purchase behavior differs depending on the type of exposure to the disease. In fact, those with long COVID experienced more pleasure when purchasing than other people, but they needed higher trust levels in the enterprises to purchase from them, since that reduces their perception of uncertainty. Furthermore, for long-COVID individuals, an organization’s legitimacy level is even more important than for other consumer groups with less contact with the disease.

“…6.3 El impacto de la legitimidad pública en la actividad comercial: Los Foros, la Red de Casas y las Fundaciones Consejo cómo manifestación de la colaboración entre Administración pública y empresas. La internacionalización de la actividad empresarial privada ha encontrado en la colaboración con las administraciones públicas eficientes un positivo elemento de legitimación para la apertura de nuevos mercados (Díez-Martín, 2021). Por otra parte, el Servicio Exterior español también se ha valido del prestigio de destacados empresarios españoles que han aceptado presidir las Fundaciones Consejo, las Tribunas y los Foros bilaterales entre España y otros países.…”

Objetivo: El objetivo de este estudio es abordar el restablecimiento de la legitimidad, la autonomía y el prestigio del Servicio Exterior español ante la opinión pública después de la retirada de las tropas españolas de Irak en abril de 2004. Es un caso de análisis positivo de las decisiones políticas y de su ejecución. Para conseguir el objetivo se potenció la diplomacia económica y comercial, así como la diplomacia pública. Se estudia la implicación empresarial en los grandes foros de diplomacia comercial (Consejos-Fundación y Foros bilaterales) y la entrada de España como observadora permanente en el G-20. Diseño/metodología/enfoque: Estudio de índole cualitativa basado principalmente en la técnica de investigación del estudio de caso. Como técnicas de investigación de contraste: las entrevistas en profundidad a stakeholders en el ámbito político, diplomático y empresarial y el análisis de contenido de la documentación asociada al caso así como los trabajos parlamentarios sobre la reforma del Servicio Exterior español orientada a la diplomacia comercial. Resultados: Los resultados subrayan la eficacia de los mecanismos de legitimación del Servicio Exterior español a través de la diplomacia comercial y la implicación de líderes empresariales en la consecución de tal objetivo. Se aporta el conocimiento del proceso de decisión política y su ejecución. También se aporta conocimiento sobre la identificación de la política exterior como elemento de identidad política central en la competición electoral. Limitaciones/implicaciones: La desigual predisposición entre las administraciones Aznar y Zapatero para informar sobre el período 2002-2004. Aunque los elementos fácticos para concluir la nueva legitimidad del Servicio Exterior son consistentes, el estudio habría podido verse enriquecido con más elementos de defensa de los dos episodios descritos que erosionaron la imagen del Servicio Exterior.

“…Previous studies suggest that the different levels of entrepreneurship between countries could be explained by the concept of state legitimacy (Díez-Martín et al, 2016; Díez-Martín et al, 2022). This refers to how the different practices of institutional power are consciously accepted by citizens (Beetham, 2013) and can enhance the effect of the actions and conditions that states can develop to favor entrepreneurship (Díez-Martín et al, 2022).…”

“…Legitimacy can influence individuals’ behavior (Choi & Shepherd, 2005). State legitimacy contributes to institutional stability, reducing concerns and fears (Díez-Martín et al, 2022). If the population does not trust the state and its institutions, it will not believe in formal rules and this will affect entrepreneurial intentions (Assenova & Sorenson, 2017).…”

“…Some studies have related the concepts of uncertainty and legitimacy (Bansal & Clelland, 2004). In this vein, a lack of legitimacy can be a barrier to entrepreneurship, since, among other issues, it decreases the confidence of investors and society (Díez-Martín et al, 2022). Moreover, lower trust in the state is associated with a more uncertain environment (Assenova & Sorenson, 2017).…”

This study aims to analyze the relationships between economic policy uncertainty (EPU), state legitimacy, entrepreneurial activity, and business opportunities. To achieve this goal, 13 European countries are selected for the period 2002 to 2018. Applying partial least squares structural equation modeling, relevant findings were obtained. The results show that higher economic uncertainty is associated with an increase in a country’s entrepreneurial activity, although the perception of entrepreneurial opportunities does not increase. We also observed an inverse relationship between EPU and legitimacy. A higher perception of legitimacy is related to lower entrepreneurial activity and higher opportunities for entrepreneurship. These findings have relevant implications. From the academic point of view, the results make new contributions to research related to the importance of the institutional context and entrepreneurial activity, considering the relationships between EPU and legitimacy and their influence on entrepreneurial activity. We also highlight how policymakers may influence the perception of state legitimacy and, therefore, have an impact on entrepreneurial activities and opportunities.
