Differentiating the Effects of Entrepreneurs' Intelligence and Educational Attainment on Venture Outcomes International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behavior and Research 25,3 (2019): 518-537.

Purpose: Intelligence or general mental ability (GMA) is a strong predictor of job performance across most occupations, and educational attainment has been shown to be a predictor of entrepreneurial outcomes. However, there has been little research examining the simultaneous effects of entrepreneurs' GMA and educational attainment on their venture outcomes. The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of these human capital resources on venture performance and survival. Design/methodology/approach: Using a sample of 234 self-employed entrepreneurs from a longitudinal database, regression analysis was employed to examine the predictors of venture performance. A hazard model was utilized to assess venture survival. Findings: Entrepreneurs' intelligence influenced venture performance directly and indirectly via educational attainment. Entrepreneurs with higher GMA were subsequently able to obtain more education, and GMA had an indirect, positive influence on venture performance through this additional educational attainment. Findings also demonstrated an inverted-U, curvilinear effect on venture survival for GMA and educational attainment. This indicates that both intelligence and educational attainment should be considered when examining how likely entrepreneurs are to persist or survive in their ventures. |

Exploring Differences in the Antisocial Behaviors of Adolescent Rule-breaking that Affect Entrepreneurial Persistence International Journal of Entrepreneurial Behavior and Research 28,2 (3 January 2022): DOI: 10.1108/IJEBR-03-2021-0179. Also: https://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/IJEBR-03-2021-0179/full/html Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: Emerald Keyword(s): Adolescent Behavior; Behavior, Antisocial; Entrepreneurship; Substance Use Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Purpose: The authors explore the relationship between adolescent behavior and subsequent entrepreneurial persistence by drawing on scholarship from clinical psychology and criminology to examine different subtypes of antisocial behavior (nonaggressive antisocial behavior and aggressive antisocial behavior) that underlie adolescent rule breaking. The intersection of gender and socioeconomic status on these types of antisocial behavior and entrepreneurial persistence is also studied. Design/methodology/approach: Using a longitudinal research design, this study draws from a national representative survey of USA adolescents, the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (1997) (NLSY97). Nonaggressive antisocial behavior was assessed with a composite scale that measured economic self-interest and with a second measure that focused on substance abuse. Aggressive antisocial behavior was assessed as a measure of aggressive, destructive behaviors, such as fighting and property destruction. Entrepreneurial persistence was operationalized as years of self-employment experience, which is based on the number of years a respondent reported any self-employment. Findings: Aggressive antisocial behavior is positively related to entrepreneurial persistence but nonaggressive antisocial behavior is not. This relationship is moderated by gender and socioeconomic status. |
