Dear All,
Apologies for cross-postings.
We would like to bring to your attention a call for papers for the EURAM
2013 conference:
BRIDGING ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP: NEW RESEARCH
DIRECTIONS
Joint track between the Entrepreneurship SIG and the Organisational
Behaviour SIG
Abstract:
The questions of what motivates entrepreneurs, how entrepreneurs make
decisions and how they manage other members of entrepreneurial teams are
of considerable interest to both entrepreneurship and organizational
behavior scholars. Yet, the fields of entrepreneurship and organizational
behavior have developed in isolation. In the entrepreneurship field,
researchers have traditionally examined entrepreneurs’ behavior at all
levels of analysis - individual, group and organizational, and their
interaction with key stakeholders in the process of creating new ventures.
Nevertheless, it is only relatively recently that scholars have started to
investigate the role of Organizational Behavior (OB) in the
entrepreneurial process (Baron, 2002). In particular, extant research has
shown how affect, trust, identity, team dynamics, leadership, temporal
attitudes and human capital among others influence entrepreneurial issues
and the performance of new ventures (e.g., Baron, 2008; Cardon, Wincent,
Singh & Drnovsek, 2009). Not surprisingly, this recently emerging
literature, which sheds new light on entrepreneurial cognitive and
behavioral processes, draws heavily upon research on emotions and
organizational behavior, the integration of which has been increasing
(Ashkanasy, Härtel & Zerbe, 2000).
Despite the progress achieved, a more explicit focus on the micro-
foundations of entrepreneurship offers opportunities to gain new insight
into individual motivations to engage in entrepreneurial actions, while
coping with significant risk and uncertainty. The aim of this track is to
create a thought platform that addresses such behavioral issues.
This track welcomes high-quality empirical and conceptual contributions
that are relevant to the general area of identity construction and
negotiation, emotion dynamics, power, team dynamics and the micro-
foundations of new entities in the broad entrepreneurial context (start-
ups, family business, and established organizations). We encourage studies
with novel theoretical underpinnings that use different research methods—
quantitative, qualitative, narratives, and multilevel methods—and examine
the intersection of the entrepreneurship and OB literatures across
different cultural contexts.
Submissions with HR implications will also be considered for a special
section of the journal Human Resource Management.
