“…Mead (2016) argues that tikanga can evolve and adapt in response to changing attitudes and realities. Those who strongly identify as Māori are inherently bound to uphold tikanga (Greaves et al , 2015; Houkamau et al , 2019). Tikanga as a philosophy of Māori ethics can mediate social conduct, relationships and identities (Henare, 2001), including in business (Bargh, 2012).…”

Purpose This paper aims to explore how Maori entrepreneurs in Aotearoa New Zealand negotiate cultural and commercial imperatives in their entrepreneurial practice. Culture is integral to Indigenous entrepreneurship, an example being tikanga Maori (Maori cultural values) and Maori entrepreneurship. This study discusses the tensions and synergies inherent in the negotiation of seemingly conflicting imperatives both theoretically and practically. Design/methodology/approach This study reports on a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews involving ten Maori enterprises of the Ngati Porou tribe on the east coast of Aotearoa New Zealand. Findings This study finds that depending on their contextual and cultural orientation, Maori entrepreneurs use tikanga to help negotiate cultural and commercial imperatives. The contingency of entrepreneurial situations and the heterogeneity of Maori perspectives on whether (and in what way) tikanga influences entrepreneurial practice appear influential. The authors propose a typology of Maori entrepreneurs’ approaches to explain the negotiation of cultural and commercial imperatives comprising the “culturally engaged Maori entrepreneur”; the “culturally responsive Maori entrepreneur”; and the “culturally ambivalent Maori entrepreneur.” Originality/value This study proposes a typology to analyse entrepreneurial practices of Indigenous entrepreneurs’ negotiation of cultural and commercial imperatives.

“…Each scale now comprises four or five items, which respondents rate from 1 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree). A full account of developing the new subscale, including the operational definitions of the full eight MMM-ICE3 dimensions/subscales, has recently been published (see [85,86]).…”

“…Data come from the first wave of respondents in 2017-2018. MIFAS comprises over 340 individual items, takes approximately 30-45 minutes to complete and embeds a short, 40-item version of the MMM-ICE3 [85,87]. Information about the MIFAS sample, methods, response rate (approximately 7%) and representativeness has been provided elsewhere [85].…”

“…Although all participants already identified as Māori, we wanted to quantify the strength and confidence expressing the self culturally as Maori. Participants completed the Cultural Efficacy and Active Identity Engagement (CEAIE) Subscale (α = .80) from the MMM-ICE3 [85]. The subscale measures the extent individuals perceive they have the personal resources to engage appropriately with other Māori in Māori social and cultural contexts.…”

“…The data for these analyses were taken from the MIFAS, which is a large-scale longitudinal survey that addresses a wide range of topics related to Māori identity, financial attitudes and wellbeing (see [85]). Māori have been found to participate in surveys at much lower rates than other New Zealanders [25,109] and are more likely to remove themselves from survey-based studies over time [110].…”

Cultural efficacy predicts body satisfaction for Māori

et al. 2021

This paper examines the relationship between body mass index (BMI), self-esteem and self-reported confidence and capability in expressing oneself culturally as Māori (cultural efficacy) for 5,470 Māori who participated in Te Rangahau o Te Tuakiri Māori me Ngā Waiaro ā-Pūtea | The Māori Identity and Financial Attitudes Study (MIFAS) in 2017. Adjusting for demographics, self-reported health, education and socio-economic status, we found that a higher BMI was associated with lower body satisfaction and self-esteem. However, higher scores on cultural efficacy were associated with higher levels of body satisfaction and self-esteem for respondents. Furthermore, the negative association between BMI and both body satisfaction and self-esteem was weaker for those with higher cultural efficacy. This held for BMI scores of 25, 30, and 35+. While our data suggest higher cultural efficacy may directly or interactively shield Māori from developing lowered self-esteem typically associated with higher BMI in Western populations, further research, using more comprehensive measures of body satisfaction should explore the extent to which Māori may find the Western “thin ideal” personally desirable for their own bodies.

Manahau: Toward an Indigenous Māori theory of value

The theoretical challenge posed by this paper is to find a conceptualisation of value for entrepreneurship theory grounded in Indigenous knowledge from a Māori perspective capable of guiding entrepreneurs operating for sustainability and wellbeing. We review Western and Māori theories of value, values, and valuation. We argue that Indigenous concepts of value centre on collective wellbeing as opposed to self-interest, and have spiritual and material elements. The paper proposes a tentative Māori theory of value we call manahau, which combines mana (power, authority, and dignity) and hau (vitality of people, places, and objects). We define manahau as an axiological agent Māori entrepreneurs employ to synergistically negotiate cultural and commercial imperatives to achieve multidimensional wellbeing, human potential, and relational balance. We discuss research which illustrates manifestations of manahau in the Māori cultural ethics of utu (reciprocity) in Māori entrepreneurship and tauutuutu (reciprocity and balance) in Māori agribusiness. We argue that an Indigenous Māori theory of value has implications for entrepreneurship theory and practice.
