creative entrepreneurs creativity opportunity recognition and Career Success is resource availability a double edged sword
European Management Journal, 2020Co-Authors: Yu Yu Chang, Ming Huei ChenAbstract:Abstract At the heart of the entrepreneurial process in creative industries are entrepreneurial creativity and opportunity recognition, which influence entrepreneurs’ ability to create new ventures or significantly improve the position of an existing business. Recent entrepreneurship research has suggested that resource availability represents a double-edged sword, simultaneously facilitating and impeding new venture outcomes, while little research has explored how entrepreneurial creativity, opportunity recognition, and resource availability jointly affect entrepreneurial Career Success. To address the theoretical gap, this paper examines the moderating role of resource availability in the relationship between entrepreneurial creativity, opportunity recognition and Career Success of creative entrepreneurs. To reflect the Career Success perceived by business founders in creative industries, five indicators of entrepreneurial Success are examined, including Career achievement, social reputation, entrepreneurial happiness, capability enhancement, and financial satisfaction. Hierarchical regression analysis empirically examines a sample of 296 entrepreneurs in creative industries. Results suggest that entrepreneurial creativity and opportunity recognition are positively related to entrepreneurial Career Success. We also find that resource availability generally strengthens the effect of entrepreneurial creativity and opportunity recognition on entrepreneur-perceived Career Success. Nevertheless, the relationship between opportunity recognition and financial satisfaction is found to be weakened by entrepreneurs’ resource availability. Integrating the theory of entrepreneurial effectuation and resource dependence theory, our findings indicate that entrepreneurial bricolage is crucial for creative entrepreneurship.

creativity cognitive style conflict and Career Success for creative entrepreneurs
Journal of Business Research, 2015Co-Authors: Ming Huei Chen, Yu Yu ChangAbstract:Abstract Creativity cognitive style refers to individual differences in perceiving, behaving, solving problems, taking decisions, and relating to others in the creative process, whereas conflict handling style depicts individuals' behavior in response to interpersonal conflicts. Leaders' conflict management has profound impacts on group outcomes, though little work has been done to examine the relationship between entrepreneurs' creativity cognitive style, conflict handling style, and Career Success in creative industry sectors. Structural equation modeling is used to examine the hypotheses on a sample of 251 creative entrepreneurs in Taiwan. Results indicate that creative entrepreneurs' cognitive style influences entrepreneurial Success through affecting conflict handling style. Based on the theories of cognitive psychology and conflict management, this paper sheds light on the missing link between entrepreneurial cognition and conflict handling in the entrepreneurship domain.

how providing mentoring relates to Career Success and organizational commitment a study in the general managerial population
Career Development International, 2011Co-Authors: Nikos Bozionelos, Giorgos Bozionelos, Konstantinos Kostopoulos, Panagiotis PolychroniouAbstract:Purpose – This study aims to investigate the relationship of mentoring provided with Career Success and organizational commitment in the general managerial population.Design/methodology/approach – Participants were 194 native British who were employed in a variety of jobs, professions and industries in the United Kingdom.Findings – Mentoring provided was positively associated with objective and subjective Career Success and with mentoring received. Furthermore, mentoring provided mediated the relationship between mentoring received and both aspects of Career Success. However, although Career‐related mentoring provided was positively associated with mentors' Career Success and affective organizational commitment, socio‐emotional mentoring provided was unrelated to mentors' Career Success and was negatively related to their affective commitment.Research limitations/implications – The study adds to the literature by indicating that, at least in the Anglo‐Saxon organizational environment, mentoring provided, ...

the relationship of mentoring and network resources with Career Success in the chinese organizational environment
International Journal of Human Resource Management, 2006Co-Authors: Nikos Bozionelos, Li WangAbstract:The relationship of mentoring and network resources, the two components of social capital, with Career Success was investigated in a sample of 113 Chinese white-collar workers. The findings suggested that the prevalence of mentoring in the Chinese workplace is substantially higher than in the Anglo-Saxon workplace, and that Chinese employees do not distinguish their network ties or Guanxi into expressive and instrumental. These results were in line with the presumption that mentoring is an integral part of the Chinese culture and with the view that network ties or Guanxi in the Chinese society cannot exist in a purely instrumental form. In contrast to hypotheses, however, the findings suggest a limited relationship between social capital and Career Success. In particular, the amount of mentoring, participants reported they had received, was related to their intrinsic Career Success but not to their extrinsic Career Success; and the amount of network resources or Guanxi was related neither to extrinsic nor...

mentoring and expressive network resources their relationship with Career Success and emotional exhaustion among hellenes employees involved in emotion work
International Journal of Human Resource Management, 2006Co-Authors: Nikos BozionelosAbstract:Although mentoring has been identified as an important Career resource for proteges in the Anglo-Saxon cultural cluster, pertinent research in other cultures is still scarce. The relationship of mentoring and expressive network resources with proteges' Career Success and emotional exhaustion was investigated in a sample of 104 Hellenes (Greek) bank employees performing frontline service jobs. The number of mentors that respondents reported they have had was related to their extrinsic Career Success. However, currently having a mentor was not related to intrinsic Career Success and was marginally related to emotional exhaustion. In contrast, the amount of expressive network resources was strongly related to both intrinsic Career Success and emotional exhaustion. The results are discussed with respect to extant research, the national cultural context of the study and the cross-cultural transferability of human resource systems. The general tentative conclusion is that relationships with mentors and expressi...

expatriation and Career Success a human capital perspective
Human Relations, 2016Co-Authors: Aarti Ramaswami, Nancy M Carter, George F DreherAbstract:Very little is known about the linkages between expatriation and objective measures of Career Success. In this field study we address the expatriation–compensation attainment relationship, after controlling for different kinds of international experience, among 440 graduates of elite MBA programs from around the world. The results suggest that a positive compensation return only accrues to repatriates who have experienced more than one expatriate assignment, perceived acquired knowledge and skills to be utilized during post-repatriation periods, and who are working at higher organizational levels. These findings, along with a supplementary analysis, support an explanation of the results based on human capital theory. That is, expatriation relates to compensation attainment because it is an intense developmental experience, and not merely a selection or signaling mechanism. Furthermore, by incorporating the concepts of value of human capital, richness of human capital, and opportunity to display human capi...

gender mentoring and Career Success the importance of organizational context
Academy of Management Annual Meeting, 2010Co-Authors: Aarti Ramaswami, George F Dreher, Robert D Bretz, Carolyn WiethoffAbstract:This study examines the moderating effects of protege sex and organizational context on relationships between senior-male mentors and objective and subjective Career outcomes among midCareer managers and professionals. Extending signaling theory, and using a 3-way interaction, we found that associations between senior-male mentoring, cash compensation, and Career progress satisfaction were greatest among women working in male-gendered industries. By contextualizing the protege sex-by-mentoring interaction and by considering key mentor attributes, the results of this study provide important insights into where, why, and for whom access to a senior-male mentor is related to Career Success and contribute to building more complete models of the Career attainment process.

testing a calling model of psychological Career Success in australian young adults a longitudinal study
Journal of Vocational Behavior, 2014Co-Authors: Anna Praskova, Michelle Hood, Peter Alexander CreedAbstract:Theory-based longitudinal research on Career calling is sparse. In a two-wave, cross-lagged panel design we assessed Hall and Chandler's (2005) calling model of psychological Career Success using 216 young adults (M age = 20.44 years, SD = 2.54). We tested if changes in Career calling over time were associated with changes in goal-directed effort (work effort and Career strategies) and psychological Career Success (life meaning and Career adaptability) over time, and if goal-directed effort mediated between Career calling and psychological Career Success over time. The standard causal model showed a better fit over the base, reverse, and reciprocal causation models. T1 Career calling predicted T2 work effort, Career strategies, life meaning, and Career adaptability. Only Career strategies mediated between T1 Career calling and T2 life meaning and T2 Career adaptability. Limitations and future directions are discussed.
