Abstract Proactiveness is a pervasive phenomenon in entrepreneurial organisations, however, the existing literatures mainly focus on entrepreneurial orientation, proactiveness is only regarded as one dimension of EO, and most studies on EO are at the level of firm, not the individual. Based on effectuation theory, this study utilized data from CPSED and examined the antecedents of nascent entrepreneurs' proactiveness. We find that entrepreneurial experience has a positive effect on nascent entrepreneurs’ proactiveness while management education and systematic search have negative effect. These findings add to the effectuation and entrepreneurial proactiveness literatures.

什么影响新生企业家的积极性

摘要积极性是企业家组织中普遍存在的现象，然而，现有文献主要集中于企业家导向，主动性仅被视为企业绩效的一个维度，大多数关于企业绩效的研究都是在企业层面，而不是个人层面。基于影响理论，本研究利用了CPSED的数据，并考察了新生企业家主动性的前因。我们发现创业经验对新生企业家的积极性具有积极影响，而管理教育和系统性搜索则具有消极影响。这些发现增加了成就和企业家积极性文献。
