The Affect Mechanism of Environmental Munificence on Entrepreneurial Improvisation in Heilongjiang Province, China.

Improvisational behavior is the key to entrepreneurial success, and a relaxed entrepreneurial environment is related to entrepreneurial improvisation. Therefore, based on the triadic reciprocal determinism, a sample of 816 entrepreneurs in Heilongjiang Province, China, was collected through a web-based questionnaire using a purposive sampling method to examine the relationship between environmental munificence and entrepreneurial improvisation, as well as the facilitating effects of future self-continuity and belief in community of shared future for mankind community. The results confirm for the first time that environmental munificence is positively related to entrepreneurial improvisation. That future self-continuity and belief in community of shared future for mankind have a facilitating effect between the two. This suggests that entrepreneurs in Heilongjiang Province, China, need a relaxed entrepreneurial environment, continuity between the present and future selves, and the link between common human beliefs, to fully stimulate entrepreneurial improvisation. Finally, the findings provide important insights for improving entrepreneurial improvisation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
