This paper examines the relationship between cognitive fit/misfit, and burnout, satisfaction, and intentions to exit the firm in entrepreneurs. Given the disordinal (crossed) nature of the significant interactions, the results indicate when cognitive misfit in entrepreneurs (based on their dominant decision-making approach) is more likely lead them to experience negative outcomes, given the nature and degree of firm structure. This study contributes by extending the Person-Organization fit approach beyond employees to entrepreneurs and by providing researchers with means of placing the individual entrepreneur and his/her psychological make up back into the entrepreneurship equation without the pitfalls and the limitations associated with many of the past psychological (trait) studies.

Based on research and conceptualizations of cognition, we propose a model that provides a process explanation for habitual entrepreneurship. The model includes three paths that illustrate how distinct push and pull factors may influence an owner-manager to engage in habitual entrepreneurship. We propose that a more intuitive (less rational) cognitive style operates as a direct pull factor and influences other pull and push factors through the greater tendencies to (1) be attracted to entrepreneurial contexts, (2) recognize new opportunities, and (3) experience negative psychosocial outcomes in formal organizations. Empirical tests provide support for our basic premise that an intuitive cognitive style is associated with entrepreneurial behavior in general and habitual entrepreneurship.

Innovative Behavior of Minorities, Women, and Immigrants

The relationship between the innovative behavior and the minority status, gender, and immigration status of, for example, owners, directors, principal investigators, and project managers has only begun to be explored, especially within and among entrepreneurial organizations. Data limitations are certainly one culprit for the paucity of research in this area, but also the economics literature has been slow to move from a technical capital (i.e., investments in R&D) to an innovative behavior focus to an alternative focus that examines the relationship between dimensions of human capital of those who are involved with R&D investments and resulting innovative behavior. The chapters in this edited volume advance this body of thought. These chapters represent foundational research for a nature versus nurture discussion as it relates to innovative behavior, especially a discussion that considers the innovative behavior within and among entrepreneurial organizations. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Economics of Innovation and New Technology.
