Not Giving Up:The Influence of Coping Strategies for Entrepreneurial Setback on New Venture Performance
Based on action regulation theory,this paper analyzes the effects of problem-coping and emotional-coping strat-egies on entrepreneurial performance,and introduces the variables of entrepreneurial learning,entrepreneurial self-efficacy,and prior experience to investigate the mediating mechanism and boundary conditions of the process.The results show that entrepreneurs'coping strategies have an impact on entrepreneurial performance through the mediation of entrepreneurial learning.Entrepreneurial self-efficacy will weaken the relationship between problem coping and entrepreneurial learning,but strengthen the relationship between emotional coping and entrepreneurial learning.Previous experience will strengthen the relationship between problem coping and entrepreneurial learning,but it will weaken the relationship between emotional coping and entrepreneurial learning.
