“…Following the call for continuing research on the micro-foundations of the entrepreneurial process (Engel et al , 2020; Williamson et al , 2022), and based on the longitudinal multiple case-study strategy (Eisenhardt, 1989), this study explores how founder role identity influences the speed of start-up creation process. It theorizes about the dynamics of the process arguing that founder role identity determines the priorities of and motivation for entrepreneurial actions shaping the flow of venture creation steps and the design of new ventures.…”

“…More advanced knowledge is required to understand what micro-level drivers speed up and slow down start-up creation and how they function. It is the study of micro-foundations that is estimated to be promising in terms of better understanding of the entrepreneurial process and start-up dynamics (Engel et al , 2020; Shepherd, 2015; Williamson et al , 2022; Yu et al , 2022; Zuzul and Tripsas, 2020).…”

Purpose High-tech start-up creation is associated with complex challenges originating from quick transformations in technologies and markets. To raise start-up survival and success chances, founders need to ensure a rapid conversion of a venture idea into a working business. This paper aims to explore how identity-related characteristics of founders influence the speed of the start-up creation process. Design/methodology/approach For this study, a longitudinal multiple-case-study design was selected to identify a vivid flow of decisions and actions taken by high-tech start-ups for analysis in depth. Over 20 months, a series of interviews were organized with founders of six start-ups located in the same business incubator in Russia. Also, a set of additional data sources was engaged, including publicly available data and internal documents provided by businesses. Findings The findings reveal contrasting dynamics of start-up creation processes among founders with differing role identities. Identity fit and identity misfit are suggested to be serious pull and push factors in the process of organizational becoming through the impact they have on the situational regulatory focus of founders. Originality/value The current research contributes to the entrepreneurship stream of research by extending the knowledge of how cognition affects the process of new venture creation.

“…While studies have examined between-person differences in sensemaking when questioning the impactfulness of one's work (Schabram & Maitlis, 2017), such differences in social enterprises may be influenced by organization tenure or the strength of identification with the organization or its targeted social issue. At the same time, our focus on sensemaking prioritizes cognitive and behavioral responses to cues that challenge one's experience of impactful work, yet future research can also examine distinct emotional responses to these challenges, such as disappointment, shame, anger (Williamson et al, 2022), and how emotions play a role in cognitive and behavioral responses. Such potential nuances are worth investigating.…”

Individuals start and join social enterprises to catalyze social impact but may not subjectively experience their work as impactful. In this article, we inductively uncover when social enterprise members question the impactfulness of their work and how they engage in sensemaking to experience their work as impactful. Exploring the experiences of members across two social enterprises with different missions, we provide insights into instances creating ambiguity of or discrepancies in impactfulness and unearth how individuals navigate these in different circumstances with two distinct sensemaking practices: internalizing and compensating. We reveal the efforts required to experience work as impactful, highlight the heterogeneity and agency in maintaining this perception, and suggest a potential dark side for members and missions of social enterprises.

“…Emotions are recognized as playing a significant role in the entrepreneurial process (Cardon et al, 2012;de Cock et al, 2020;Jennings et al, 2015;Williamson et al, 2022). Most entrepreneurship research in this area has focused, for example, on the relationship between psychological entities (such as joy, passion, compassion, empathy, grief, and envy) and cognitive processes and actions in the entrepreneurial context (Bacq & Alt, 2018;Cardon et al, 2005Cardon et al, , 2009Goss et al, 2011;Miller et al, 2012).…”

While resourcing their ventures, entrepreneurs and stakeholders face and deal with unexpected situations, permeating the entrepreneurship process. Drawing on an entrepreneurship as practice approach, we explore how an entrepreneurial resourcing practice is collectively enacted, reconfigured, and repaired after a sudden practice collapse. Through a longitudinal case study of a social venture–public collaboration process, we reveal the collective repair work of a collapsing entrepreneurial resourcing practice and the role of emotions as a hidden element in the resourcing practice and the repair work enacted.
