Abstract
Entrepreneurs’ passion is a pivotal resource that may evolve during an entrepreneurial journey. We develop a “passion-as-a-resource perspective,” incorporating competence experiences (satisfaction or frustration), current passion levels, and passion type (harmonious and obsessive) into our model, and reveal how passion intensifies or diminishes over time. Two empirical studies on entrepreneurs—an experience-sampling study involving 209 entrepreneurs (1,172 lagged observations over seven weeks) and a between-subjects experiment with 191 entrepreneurs—validate our model. Our findings show a self-regulating function of harmonious passion, reducing competence experience effects, and a self-enhancing function of obsessive passion, stimulating competence experience effects on obsessive passion development.
