“…In line with this definition, researchers have adapted Vallerand et al’s (2003) scales of harmonious and obsessive passion to fit the entrepreneurial setting, asking respondents to rate both dimensions of passion in relation to work activities associated with their entrepreneurial business. Although some researchers have used the seven‐item scales from Vallerand et al (2003) to measure harmonious and/or obsessive passion (Gielnik, Uy, Funken, & Bischoff, 2017; Stroe et al, 2018a, 2018b), others have used abbreviated scales comprising six items (Ho & Pollack, 2014; Stenholm & Nielsen, 2019), five items (Dalborg, von Friedrichs, & Wincent, 2015; Dalborg & Wincent, 2015; de Mol, Ho, & Pollack, 2018; Murnieks, Mosakowski, & Cardon, 2014; Obschonka et al, 2019; Thorgren & Wincent, 2015) and four items (Fisher, Merlot, & Johnson, 2018). Full or adapted versions of the scales have been used in 14 quantitative studies at the individual level.…”
