“…Our paper incorporates both an individual-level component (as the level of analysis is individual entrepreneurs' entry decisions) and a national-level component (variation in expected costs of insolvency procedures at the national level) (Kim et al 2016). Insolvency laws represent one of several institutional mechanisms affecting the likelihood that individuals will act on perceived opportunities.…”

This paper studies the association between the effectiveness of insolvency regulations and entrepreneurship using multilevel modeling of about 300,000 individuals in 27 countries over the 2005-2010 period. We investigate the relationship between three different measures of Bresolving insolvency^(time, cost, and recovery rate) from the World Bank and four different measures of entrepreneurship from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor, controlling for relevant individualand country-level facets. We find that opportunitydriven and innovation-oriented entrepreneurs are more severely affected by onerous insolvency regulations than necessity-motivated entrepreneurs. However, entrepreneurs envisioning rapid employment growth are not affected by onerous insolvency regulations. We discuss contributions to comparative entrepreneurship research and public policy.

“…In doing so, the present study expands our knowledge of the role of leaders in fostering entrepreneurship in academia (Bercovitz and Feldman, ; Johnson et al, ) and other settings (Phan et al, ). Third, by providing theory and evidence of a complex interplay of influences that emanate from different contextual levels, our study informs research in the field of academic entrepreneurship and in other fields on how our understanding of phenomena of interest can be enriched by multi‐level theorizing (Hitt et al, ; Kim et al, ).…”

“…While prior research has identified a variety of contextual factors at the group, organizational, community, field and societal levels that foster academic entrepreneurship (Hmieleski and Powell, ; Perkmann et al, ; Wright et al, ), we still know little about the interplay of these influences emanating from different levels. This issue is an important one because lower‐level contextual conditions are typically nested in higher‐level contextual structures (Kim et al, ; Mathieu et al, ). Thus, solely focusing on contextual conditions at one particular level of analysis provides only a limited theoretical account (Hitt et al, ).…”

Situated in the context of academia, this study integrates ideas from institutional theory, person‐environment fit theory and leadership research to conceptualize and examine the cross‐level link between the organizational‐level institutional logic of research commercialization and the entrepreneurial intentions of researchers. Multi‐level analyses based on a sample of 254 researchers working for 85 research group leaders in 49 German research institutes reveal that two distinct attributes of research group leaders – that is, their track records of entrepreneurial behaviour and their entrepreneurial intentions – play a significant role in transmitting the organizational‐level logic to the individual level. We also observe a complementary interaction between organizational‐level commercialization logic and the entrepreneurial track records of leaders. We discuss how these findings advance our understanding of science commercialization through academic entrepreneurship and how they inform institutional theory and theory development in other domains of entrepreneurship research.

“…Departing from a career choice perspective on entrepreneurship, we model habitual entrepreneurship as an occupational choice embedded within the context of prevailing labour market regulations at the country level (Kim et al 2016). Such regulations can, at least in the short term, 3 have great impact on the rate of job creation and unemployment of an economy, labour productivity and social protection of employees, and costs and profits of employers (Betcherman et al 2001).…”

Habitual entrepreneurs in the making: how labour market rigidity and employment affects entrepreneurial re-entry

We investigate the impact of country-level labour market regulations on the re-entry decision of experienced entrepreneurs, whereby they become habitual entrepreneurs. Multilevel logit models on entry decisions among 15,709 individuals in 29 European countries show that labour market regulations have a positive influence on the decision to re-enter into entrepreneurship. This positive impact is stronger among individuals holding wage jobs at the time of re-entry compared to those that do not. Our results indicate that novice and habitual entrepreneurs may respond very differently to labour market rigidity. We discuss and provide tentative explanations for these differences and outline potential policy implications.
