We address the lack of studies focusing on internal organizational sponsorship mechanisms, while considering environmental influencers and focus on a specific type of organizational sponsorship to do so: Business incubators. We argue that to be able to offer a customized incubatee-strengthening service pack, incubator-incubatee interaction is key, requiring clear-cut and directive service co-development instructions, which is our focal construct. To better understand the functioning of this focal construct, we adopt a contingency approach to examine how the incubator's human capital, and the institutional environment impact the incubator's service co-development directiveness. A quantitative empirical study reveals that both human capital and an entrepreneurially-minded regulative and cognitive institutional environment allow an incubator to be directive, thereby laying a foundation for co-development of customized service offerings. Moreover, the incubator's human capital turns out to further stimulate the positive effects of an entrepreneurially-minded regulative environment. All in all, we find that both internal organizational and external institutional elements are pivotal for first-best implementation of the internal sponsorship mechanism ‘service co-development directiveness’.

我们解决了缺乏针对内部组织赞助机制的研究，同时考虑了环境影响者，并着眼于特定类型的组织赞助来做到这一点：企业孵化器。我们认为，为了能够提供定制的加强孵化服务包，孵化器与孵化器之间的交互是关键，需要明确和指导性的服务共同开发说明，这是我们的重点。为了更好地理解此焦点构建的功能，我们采用一种权变方法来研究孵化器的人力资本和制度环境如何影响孵化器的服务共同开发指导性。定量的经验研究表明，人力资本以及具有企业家精神的法规和认知制度环境都可以指导孵化器，从而为共同开发定制服务产品奠定了基础。而且，孵化器的人力资本被证明进一步激发了具有企业家精神的监管环境的积极影响。总而言之，我们发现内部组织和外部机构要素对于内部赞助机制“服务共同发展指导”的最佳实施至关重要。事实证明，人力资本可以进一步激发具有创业精神的监管环境的积极影响。总而言之，我们发现内部组织和外部机构要素对于内部赞助机制“服务共同发展指导”的最佳实施至关重要。事实证明，人力资本可以进一步激发具有创业精神的监管环境的积极影响。总而言之，我们发现内部组织和外部机构要素对于内部赞助机制“服务共同发展指导”的最佳实施至关重要。
