Temporal Focus and Entrepreneurial Orientation of Solo Self-Employed
In the present study, we examine the associations between both present and future temporal focus, and entrepreneurial orientation (EO) using data from 783 solo self-employed individuals. We distinguish between the sub-dimensions of EO: risk-taking, pro-activeness, and innovativeness. Taken together, our results indicate that both temporal foci are positively associated with EO and its sub-dimensions, though we do not find evidence for a link between present temporal focus and risk-taking. In addition, we find that future temporal focus strengthens the association between present temporal focus and EO. Possible venues for future research are discussed.
