| Tiivistelmä: | The impact of entrepreneurs' career motives is studied on two alternative modes of decision-making logic; causation and effectuation. Based on Sarasvathy's (Acad Manage Rev 26(2):243-288, 2001) seminal study, causation is defined as a decision-making process that concentrates on what should be done given predetermined goals and possible means, while effectuation is defined a decision-making process emphasizing the question of what can be done given possible means and imagined results. Analysis indicates that entrepreneurs identifying themselves with linear or expert career motives prefer causal decision-making logic more. Entrepreneurs who identify themselves with spiral or transitory career motives tend to prefer effectual decision-making logic. Additionally, indications of prior start-up experience moderating the relationship between career motives and effectual decision-making logic for spiral-minded entrepreneurs is discovered. The overall results give vast support for the assumption that entrepreneurs' career motives affect their decision-making. |
