“…Research on gender stereotypes in crowdfunding has begun employing the foundational tenets of EVT to theorize how violating gender stereotypes influences women's crowdfunding outcomes. Current treatments of EVT in crowdfunding examine violations of unambiguous valence (e.g., competence; Oo et al, 2022). However, many forms of communication are not unambiguously positive or negative (e.g., disclosing previous failure; Roccapriore et al, 2021).…”

“…Our study makes two key contributions to the entrepreneurship literature and research focusing on gender and language in entrepreneurial fundraising. First, our study provides nuance to our understanding of how backers respond to violations of gender stereotypes in crowdfunding (e.g., Davis et al, 2021; Greenberg & Mollick, 2017; Oo, Creek, & Sheppard, 2022). This literature generally argues for one of two consequences for violating these stereotypes.…”

“…On the other hand, theorizing focused on backer support generally argues that women can benefit from violating norms because it triggers backers' activist support (Greenberg & Mollick, 2017) and appeals to backers who value signals such as courage (Wesemann & Wincent, 2021). EVT links these perspectives by suggesting that backers' reactions may be either positive or negative depending on the valence of the violation (e.g., Oo et al, 2022). Our study adds further important nuance to EVT theorizing in crowdfunding by examining the consequences of violations that are ambiguous in valence, which many forms of communication are (e.g., communicating failure; Roccapriore, Imhof, & Cardon, 2021).…”

Who can claim innovation and benefit from it? Gender and expectancy violations in reward‐based crowdfunding

Although reward-based crowdfunding is lauded for its promise to democratize funding for innovation, claiming innovation in campaign texts has an ambiguous link to crowdfunding performance. We draw from Expectancy Violations Theory (EVT) and, in a field study of 2,185 Kickstarter campaigns, find that innovation claims yield better fundraising performance for women than men, particularly in male-stereotyped categories. An experiment did not identify the expected indirect effects of innovation claims on crowdfunding performance through ability trustworthiness. However, it revealed that women are perceived as more able when launching campaigns in malestereotyped categories, suggesting that EVT and ability perceptions may still play an important but unhypothesized role. We extend research on the role of gender in crowdfunding and strategic entrepreneurship and make several suggestions for future research.

“…Here, I contend that supervisors will tend to identify more with those subordinates who have good intentions (likeability dimension) and that can meet the norms and expectations associated with their work role (competence dimension) because those individuals are better candidates for building and sustaining satisfactory work relationships ( Gross et al, 2021 ). Just as perceived competence and likeability perceptions have been related to cognitive and affective trust (i.e., Oo et al, 2022 ), I expect these two factors to work together to inform a supervisor that their subordinate is a good relational partner with whom to form and sustain a meaningful work relationship. Therefore, the level of relational identification with a target subordinate is likely to be predicted by the perceived likeability and competence supervisors associate with that subordinate.…”

A relational identity approach to study the antecedents of family supportive supervision

This research focuses on the antecedents of family supportive supervisor behaviors (FSSB) – the support from supervisors that can help employees manage their competing demands across work and nonwork domains. Drawing on theories of relational identity and self-construal, I conceptualize subordinates’ likeability (interpersonal abilities) and competence (task abilities) as antecedents of family supportive supervisor behaviors, and examine whether supervisors’ relational identification with subordinates mediates this relationship. In addition, I also examine the extent to which this mediation depends on the level of relational self-construal of supervisors. Data from 205 subordinates and 84 supervisors from a Chilean private bank and results support the hypothesized mediated moderation model. While supervisors’ relational identification with subordinates fully mediates the relationship between competence and family supportive supervisor behaviors, supervisors’ relational identification with subordinates partially mediates the relationship between subordinates’ likeability and family supportive supervisor behaviors. Further, supervisors’ relational identification with subordinates mediates the relationship between likeability and family supportive supervisor behaviors when supervisors’ relational self-construal is high to medium but not when it is low. Overall, this research offers a novel lens for better understanding subordinates as more than mere recipients of supervisory behaviors.

From the approach based on human rights, the psychosocial factors that facilitate entrepreneurial competences are encouraged for the career and communitarian development. The proper consideration of social cohesion among communities creates some facilitation for a better approach for people. We used a qualitative methodology applying 25 open-ended interviews and two discussion groups, and involving 42 professionals from Spain. We obtained a system of categories constituted by a group of psychosocial variables that key informant consider significant for entrepreneurial development. These results also identify the psychosocial learning and factors that need to be promoted through continuous educational actions within organizations, incentivizing an entrepreneurial career and contributing to sustainable development.
