Based on self-regulation theory, this paper constructs two paths through which entrepreneurial fear of failure affects entrepreneurial exit intentions, and explores the moderating effect of the locus of control.

Based on self-regulation theory, this paper constructs two paths through which entrepreneurial fear of failure affects entrepreneurial exit intentions, and explores the moderating effect of the locus of control. We analyze a sample of 308 entrepreneurs from small and medium-sized private enterprises located in Southeast China. The results shown that entrepreneurial fear of failure not only stimulates entrepreneurial identity centrality in a self-regulated driving state but also leads to emotional exhaustion in a state of self-regulated depletion, with two effects on entrepreneurial exit intentions. The facilitating effect of entrepreneurial fear of failure on entrepreneurial identity centrality is stronger for internals than externals, whereas the facilitating effect of entrepreneurial fear of failure on emotional exhaustion is stronger for externals than internals. This research provides a theoretical basis and managerial insights for using entrepreneurial fear of failure to motivate its promoting effects and inhibit its hindering effects on sustainable entrepreneurship.

This paper explores the academic entrepreneur’s identity transition and its impact on spin-off’s innovative input. Central to this study is the factors that influence scholars’ position-holding behavior and their impact on spin-offs. Based on the data of the 2005–2010 SME Innovation Fund and 14 interviews, we investigate the influence of scholars’ role embeddedness on their entrepreneurial role-taking behavior from the perspective of identity theory. Empirical results show that scholars with higher embeddedness in academia are less likely to hold a spin-offs’ CEO position. Besides, follow-up research found that scholars holding CEO positions can increase a spin-off’s R&D input, which reveals the influence of scholars’ career imprinting and its scientific logic on role-taking behaviors and spin-offs’ innovation input. We also empirically test the effect of scientific logic and business logic on a spin-off’s innovation input, concluding that conflicts between these two logics are detrimental to a firm’s innovation input. This paper contributes to existing literature by providing a new perspective for identity theory and has implications for scholars’ entrepreneurial practice. Additionally, it provides a theoretical basis for technology transfer and open innovation policy. Full article
