Abstract in another language
While obsessive passion is usually considered to be the “dark side” of passion, entrepreneurship studies have reported on both the positive and negative effects of this passion type. It has been argued that these mixed findings are caused by ambiguities in the conceptualization of obsessive passion. Building on the organismic integration theory, we theorize on four distinct types of obsessive passion––externally induced, introjected, value-driven, and integrated. By introducing these different types of obsessive passion, we can depict a fine-grained picture of how different pathways lead to each of the obsessive passion types. We then argue that the specific types of obsessive passion are related to distinct outcomes, which originate from the unique source of the constraints that each obsessive passion type is based on. By sharpening our theoretical understanding of the underlying nature of obsessive passion, we hope to go some way toward solving the puzzle of how obsessive passion functions in the context of entrepreneurship.
