PublicationAging and entrepreneurs' emotional exhaustion: The role of entrepreneurial strategy, psychological capital, and felt age gap( 2024)
;Ewald Kibler ;Daniela Maresch ;Virva SalmivaaraMatthias FinkIn this paper, we draw from the theory of social and emotional aging to examine the mechanisms of age-related emotional exhaustion among entrepreneurs. Based on longitudinal data from a sample of 840 entrepreneurs in four European countries, our study shows that, with increasing biological age, entrepreneurs experience less emotional exhaustion due to their enhanced psychological capital and because they apply less entrepreneurial strategies which focus on the creation of new market opportunities and the development of new products and services. In addition, we highlight the still under-explored role of entrepreneurs' felt age gap by demonstrating that, among the same age-group, individuals who feel younger than their biological age gain well-being benefits because they possess higher levels of psychological capital and become less exhausted from the application of entrepreneurial strategies. In conclusion, our study offers two significant contributions to the literature on entrepreneurial well-being. First, we introduce the concept of the ‘Hebe Effect in entrepreneurship’, named after the Greek goddess of youth, which demonstrates how feeling younger than one's biological age acts as a buffer against stress and protects entrepreneurs from the strains of entrepreneurship. Second, we deepen understandings of how entrepreneurs' strategic choices evolve over their lifespan and influence their personal well-being. These insights also carry practical implications for aging societies that promote entrepreneurship across individuals' lifespans.Type: journal articleJournal: Journal of Business VenturingVolume: 39Issue: 5 -
PublicationResearch: How to Close the Gender Gap in Startup Financing( 2024-04-12)
;Malin Malmström ;Dean ShepherdA global analysis of previous research over the last three decades shows that women entrepreneurs face a higher rate of business loan denials and increased interest rates in loan decisions made by commercial bankers. Interestingly, the data also reveals that the formal and informal standing of women in a particular society can provide clues to some of the true hurdles to positive change. This article reviews these hurdles, and offers three recommendations for change.Type: journal articleJournal: Harvard Business Review -
PublicationA Meta-Analysis of the Impact of Entrepreneurs' Gender on their Access to Bank Finance( 2023)
;Malin Malmström ;Dean ShepherdJoakim WincentThis meta-analysis of 31 studies over 20 years advances our understanding of the gender gap in entrepreneurial bank finance. Findings from previous research on the relationship between entrepreneurs' gender and bank financing are mixed, which suggests the need to pay particular attention to entrepreneurs' social context. In this study, we develop a model of how social gender norms explain variation in women entrepreneurs' (vis-à-vis men entrepreneurs') access to bank finance. Specifically, we theorize how women's formal (their nations' political ideologies) and informal (women's empowerment) social standing within their societies influence gender discrimination in entrepreneurial bank financing. Consistent with most previous studies, our baseline results show that women entrepreneurs' business loan applications are rejected to a greater extent than men entrepreneurs' loan applications. Women entrepreneurs also pay higher interest rates on loans than men entrepreneurs. Further, in societies dominated by a conservative (rather than a liberal) political ideology, the positive relationship between women entrepreneurs and loan interest rates is more positive. Interestingly, gender discrimination in loan rejection and interest rates is magnified in societies with greater women's empowerment. Taking a social gender-norm perspective, our analysis establishes a gender gap in entrepreneurial bank finance, and we outline an agenda for further research.Type: journal articleJournal: Journal of Business EthicsScopus© Citations 3 -
