Abstract
Fear of failure both inhibits and motivates entrepreneurial behavior and therefore represents a rich opportunity for better understanding entrepreneurial motivation. Although considerable attention has been given to the study of fear of failure in entrepreneurship, scholars in this field have investigated this construct from distinct disciplinary perspectives. These perspectives use definitions and measures of fear of failure that are potentially in conflict and are characterized by a static approach, thereby limiting the validity of existing findings about the relationship between fear of failure and entrepreneurship. The purpose of this paper is to delineate more precisely the nature of fear of failure within the entrepreneurial setting. Using an exploratory and inductive qualitative research design, we frame this construct in terms of socially situated cognition by adopting an approach that captures a combination of cognition, affect and action as it relates to the challenging, uncertain, and risk-laden experience of entrepreneurship. In so doing, we provide a unified perspective of fear of failure in entrepreneurship in order to facilitate progress in understanding its impact on entrepreneurial action and outcomes.
Keywords: Conceptual development - entrepreneurship - Fear of failure - Socially-situated cognitionConclusions
Our conceptual model of the fear of failure experience offers an exploratory attempt to differentiate the elements of the construct. By relying upon extant theoretical perspectives and relevant evidence, we have attempted to both organize the reflexively reported personal data from our research participants, and to offer some propositions on the expected relationships among the variables identified. It remains for the model to be subjected to further empirical examination. In order to do so, it is likely that new measures will need to be developed and validated. The scope of our propositions is broad. However, we hope that the impact on enhancing our understanding of fear of failure in entrepreneurship will justify increased research attention in future.
