This article develops a framework to demonstrate how employee job satisfaction influences entrepreneurial intentions. Based on new institutional theory, we examine our hypotheses using data from 39,394 employees from 27 countries; the results indicate that job satisfaction has a negative effect on entrepreneurial intentions moderated by uncertainty avoidance at the country level. Furthermore, a cross-level three-way interaction indicates that entrepreneurship legitimacy is an important climate-level variable that influences the entrepreneurial intentions of employees. We conclude by discussing the implications of our findings and future research directions.

工作满意度对创业意愿的影响：一项跨层次的调查

本文开发了一个框架来展示员工工作满意度如何影响创业意图。基于新制度理论，我们使用来自 27 个国家的 39,394 名员工的数据来检验我们的假设；结果表明，工作满意度对创业意愿有负面影响，在国家层面通过不确定性规避来缓和。此外，跨层级的三向交互表明，创业合法性是影响员工创业意愿的重要气候层级变量。最后，我们讨论了我们的发现和未来研究方向的影响。
