Founder Management and Innovation: An Empirical Analysis Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and Fuzzy-Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis

Abstract

Based on the expanded theory of planned behavior, this study first explores the configuration relationship between founder management and innovation by using the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). Based on the theory of planned behavior, this study divides the behavior intention of founders into three categories: Attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavior control. Using fsQCA, we found that there are two ways to achieve high innovation input of enterprises. In combination with the two ways, the factors such as male and highly educated founder, and large firm size can effectively increase the innovation input of firms, which is consistent with the three aspects of the behavioral intention of the theory of planned behavior, and it proves that the theory of planned behavior can effectively explain the configuration relation between the founder and firm innovation. In addition, this study finds that the innovation output is different from the innovation input, is dependent on the innovation ability of the firm itself, and is less influenced by the external environment.

A double-edged sword: The effects of R&D intensity and capitalization on institutional investment in entrepreneurial firms

The intrinsic motivation and long-term approach encourage the founder-CEOs to pursue the optimal shareholder-value maximizing strategy, such as investing more in R&D and having higher capital expenditures (Fahlenbrach, 2009;Ma et al, 2022). Another reason for the entrepreneurs' willingness to invest more in R&D is an overestimation of the commercial potential of new technology (Cassar, 2010;Li et al, 2021).…”
