Ambition is generally considered a crucial characteristic of successful entrepreneurs. However, whether, how, and when this ambition translates into favourable business performance remains to be explored. To shed light on these issues, this study develops a model linking entrepreneur ambition and business performance that focuses on the mediating role of proactive behaviour and the moderating role of family-to-business support. Drawing on trait activation theory and three-month time-lagged survey data collected from 315 Chinese owner-managers/entrepreneurs, we found that for a high level of emotional family-to-business support, entrepreneur ambition is positively related to proactive behaviour, which ultimately contributes to business performance. Interestingly, when instrumental family-to-business support is high, entrepreneur ambition does not translate into proactive behaviour and has no indirect effect on business performance. Hence, this research highlights the critical role of emotional family-to-business support in activating trait ambition to manifest as proactive behaviour and drive the related positive outcomes. We also discuss the theoretical and practical implications of our findings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
