摘要

This study aims to examine the role of resilience as an antecedent to the effectual logic of action among disadvantaged entrepreneurs. Although disadvantaged entrepreneurs have been a persistent focus within entrepreneurship research, they have not been systematically studied as a unit of analysis for the development of entrepreneurial theories. Additionally, the construct of resilience remains underexplored in the entrepreneurship literature, particularly in the context of effectuation theory. By addressing these gaps, this study seeks to advance understanding of the antecedents of effectuation theory. It employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative analysis. Specifically, we use multiple linear regression with a sample size of N = 522 for predictive analysis, alongside semi-structured interviews to conduct a qualitative investigation. The findings indicate that social competence and social support have a strong positive influence on effectual logic, suggesting that the ability to engage with others and access social resources are key factors in the entrepreneurial process. Additionally, community coherence and path dependence are found to have a moderating effect, influencing the strength of the relationship between social support and effectual action.
