“…25,90 The leaders of high-tech entrepreneurial-based organizations realize their vision through identifying and stimulating the potential competencies of their group members, enabling them to generate new ideas, and reshaping their behavior, thoughts, and attitudes of implementing new ideas. 36,52,58,[91][92][93][94] Entrepreneurial leaders also create a promising environment and encouraging culture in which all of the group members consider innovation as one of their priority tasks and show their persistence in the face of challenges inherited in the innovation process. 36,82,95 Most of the previous research has investigated the outcomes of EL in large firms and their findings may not be applicable to the highly challenging, complex and uncertain context of hightech SMEs.…”

“…36,82,95 Most of the previous research has investigated the outcomes of EL in large firms and their findings may not be applicable to the highly challenging, complex and uncertain context of hightech SMEs. 52 For that reason, the present study has tested the following hypothesis to examine the impact of EL on employees' innovative behavior in high-tech SMEs.…”

“…[41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51] However, focusing on organizational context, further studies of EL in a wide range of entrepreneurial and SME contexts (size, stage of development, sector) is needed. 52 Studies by Renko, El Tarabishy, et al 25 and Gupta et al 41 offered a comprehensive EL construct, arguing that this leadership influences and directs the synergetic performance of group members toward accomplishing those organizational goals that relate to recognizing and exploiting contingencies, which ultimately influence the success of EL. Drawing from the notion of "cast enactment" in EL theory proposed by Gupta et al 41 large numbers of the studies [53][54][55][56][57] have suggested EL as the most influential factor for innovative behavior, and highlighted its importance in stimulating and fostering innovation in highly dynamic and competitive business environments.…”

Purpose: Based on social cognitive theory, the present study aimed to explore the impact of entrepreneurial leadership on employees' innovative work behavior through the moderating path of entrepreneurial self-efficacy in technology-based SMEs. The study also explains the mechanism through which a firm's innovative environment mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and employees' innovative work behavior. Methods: To pursue the objectives, this study has used data from a sample of 350 supervisor-subordinate dyads working in cross sectional small and medium enterprises (SMEs) operating in the Jiangsu province of China. Based on social cognitive theory and specific continuum of self-efficacy theory, a conceptual model was developed and the hypotheses were tested with the help of SPSS 20. Findings: Empirical findings recommend a significant positive effect of entrepreneurial leadership on employees' innovative work behavior. The study suggested that firm's innovative environment mediates the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership and the employees' innovative behavior. The results also confirmed that entrepreneurial self-efficacy exerts a positive moderating effect on the association of entrepreneurial leadership and employees' innovative behavior. Conclusion: Findings of the present research work have several implications for the management and policymakers of high-tech SMEs who want to augment their employees' innovative behavior in order to compete in a highly competitive and challenging business environment. To the best of authors' knowledge, this work is the first attempt that presents an empirically supported comprehensive model for the development of employees' innovative behavior within entrepreneurial-based high-tech SMEs. It contributes to literature by examining the mediation and moderation process for the development of employees' innovative behavior.

“…By taking into account these important facets of the entrepreneurial posture, the proposed definition of HumEnt has its roots not only in EOT, but also in SLT and in CSR theory. The entrepreneur is the leader "par excellence": s/he is constantly searching for new opportunities and stakeholders with whom to exploit these opportunities (Leitch and Volery 2017). To this end, entrepreneurs must be able to generate visionary scenarios of their business ideas in order to select and mobilize key resource holders, as well as to create value for their businesses (Gupta, Mcmillan, and Surie 2004).…”

This paper proposes a new theory called Humane Entrepreneurship (HumEnt) and identifies areas for future development of knowledge. The new theory integrates in the Entrepreneurial Strategic Posture (ESP) three different concepts: Entrepreneurial Orientation, Sustainable Orientation, and Humane Resource Orientation. From this perspective, HumEnt theory can be considered an extension of previous research but with a new model for consideration. The components of the HumEnt theory and their relationships are outlined in an initial panel of propositions. HumEnt theory can help address the challenges present in creating a more sustainable world. Finally, a research agenda and questions are presented for future consideration.

“…В научной литературе уже встречались попытки обобщения различных подходов к определению предпринимательского лидерства (см., напр. : [Harrison, Leitch, McAdam, 2015;Renko et al, 2015;Leitch, Volery, 2017]. Авторы ставили перед собой задачу продемонстрировать разнообразие существующих трактовок данного понятия, но при этом рассматривали ограниченное число определений без выделения критериев их сопоставления.…”

Предпринимательское лидерство: подходы к определению и основные направления исследований. Вестник Санкт-Петербургского университета. Менеджмент 18 (2): 235-260. https://doi.org/10.21638/11701/spbu08.2019.204 В статье представлен анализ основных исследований по теме предпринимательского лидерства, который нацелен на выявление особенностей развития концепции, обобщение и систематизацию знаний в данной области. Анализ проводился на основе публикаций в ведущих международных журналах по менеджменту и бизнесу в период с 1994 по 2018 г. Были выделены ключевые подходы к определению предпринимательского лидерства, позволившие проследить эволюцию развития концепции, а также представлены наиболее важные направления исследований и их результаты. К настоящему времени разработка концепции предпринимательского лидерства, истоки которой лежат на стыке теоретических основ лидерства и предпринимательства, продвинулась далеко вперед по сравнению с первоначальным уровнем 1980-х гг., но все еще не обрела окончательного оформления. Объединение различных теоретических и методологических подходов в процессе активного роста эмпирических исследований по данной проблематике ведет к трудностям в понимании предпринимательского лидерства в разных контекстах, а также к неоднозначности выводов. Выявленные характеристики современного этапа развития позволили дать общие рекомендации, касающиеся направлений развития концепции с точки зрения достижения ее целостности, и сформулировать актуальные темы дальнейших исследований. Важность включения концепции предпринимательского лидерства в научное поле объясняется тем, что это даст возможность объединить теоретические знания, относящиеся к процессам становления предпринимателя, особенностям его лидерства, факторам, влияющим на его успешность, определяющим формирование и развитие новых предпринимательских команд, результаты деятельности новых фирм. Полученные выводы имеют практи-Исследование выполнено за счет гранта Российского научного фонда (проект № 19-18-00081).
