#1708 - Individual Entrepreneurial Orientation and Entrepreneurial Bricolage Behaviour among Managers: The Moderating Role of Occupational Embeddedness
IRE Vol 21: Issue 4, 2023, Pages
Author(s): Saeed Mohammadi (Faculty of Entrepreneurship, University of Tehran, Iran)
Abstract:
This paper investigates a sample of operational managers in the clothing and textile (C&T) industry in Iran between December 2020 and March 2021, and their potential decisions to leave their job and consequently start entrepreneurial self-employment. This sector was severely harmed during the COVID-19 crisis. The concept of entrepreneurial bricolage is employed, as entrepreneurial bricolage skills are useful to succeed as an entrepreneur and hence may influence the potential decision to leave the firm and start one’s own business. The paper focuses specifically on the roles of individual entrepreneurial orientation and occupational embeddedness as determinants of entrepreneurial bricolage behaviour, and indeed finds evidence for both variables to influence such behaviour and thus the potential decision to leave the job and start a new venture, particularly during a crisis in the C&T industry.
