A system justification theory of entrepreneurial attitudinal change during a crisis
journal contribution
posted on 2021-10-27, 08:13 authored by Kun Liu, Kun FuKun Fu, Jing Yu Yang, Ahmad Al AsadyEntrepreneurship resilience during a crisis is an important research area. However, prior research has not examined cognitive antecedents of entrepreneurial resilience. Using the 2014 oil price crisis in the Middle East as a natural experiment, we draw on system justification theory to understand why and how entrepreneurs differ in the extent of their attitudinal changes toward corruption. We find foreign entrepreneurs substantially increased their willingness to engage in corruption whereas local entrepreneurs did not. Among foreign entrepreneurs, corruption willingness increases more among those from countries where corruption is not the norm, than those from more corrupt home countries.
