Over the past three decades, research on entrepreneurial identity (EI) has grown particularly rapidly, yet in seemingly disparate directions. To lend structure to this fragmented field of inquiry, our systematic integrative review maps and integrates EI research based on antecedents, content, outcomes as well as their relationships. In so doing, we reveal that the field revolves around two primary conceptualizations of EI as Property or Process. We suggest future avenues for examining the interplay between EI and temporal, socio-cognitive, and spatial contexts, and for investigating and theorizing overlooked mechanisms of reconstructing and losing EI.

在过去的三十年中，关于企业家身份（EI）的研究发展特别迅速，但方向似乎截然不同。为了给这个零散的调查领域提供结构，我们的系统集成审查根据前因，内容，结果以及它们之间的关系来映射和整合EI研究。通过这样做，我们揭示了该领域围绕着EI作为属性或过程的两个主要概念化。我们建议未来的途径，以检查EI与时间，社会认知和空间环境之间的相互作用，以及调查和理论化重建和丢失EI的被忽视的机制。
