Individual and team entrepreneurial orientation: Scale development and configurations for success
journal contribution
posted on 2020-02-26, 10:09 authored by Jeffrey G Covin, JPC Rigtering, Mathew Hughes, Sascha Kraus, Cheng-Feng Cheng, Ricarda BounckenWhile entrepreneurial orientation (EO) has traditionally been defined and operationalized as a
firm-level phenomenon, recent studies extended the construct to the individual-level (IEO). We
theorize how teams might draw on the EO of their individual members, forming what we call Team
EO, and pose that EO will manifest in corollary attitudes and behaviors among employees to enable
its organizational pervasiveness. Building on social exchange theory, theories of organizational
citizenship and extra-role behavior, we conceive and explore how risk-taking, proactiveness, and
innovativeness within a team, in conjunction with its trust in the manager and commitment to
company goals, affect performance. Results from an fsQCA analysis with 71 teams from a large
service-sector company show that proactiveness and innovativeness serve as substitutes and need
to be combined with a commitment to company goals to achieve high performance.
