Innovation is often seen as essential for ventures to succeed. High business failure rates in entrepreneurship, however, suggest that innovations are frequently driven by entrepreneurs blinded by overconfidence. Thus, anticipating when and why entrepreneurs will be motivated to innovate is fundamental for entrepreneurial success. Using a large sample obtained from population surveys conducted in 77 countries, this study analyzes the variables that are significantly associated with innovative behaviors. The research tests a model proposing that the joint effects of hubris, growth aspirations, and an entrepreneur's level of entrepreneurial experience have a crucial impact on innovative endeavors. It finds that hubris is significantly related to entrepreneurs' growth aspirations and that ambition, in turn, is positively related to innovative behaviors. In addition, the study finds that both relationships are moderated by the level of entrepreneurial experience. These findings highlight the need to wise up amateur entrepreneurs before they embark on innovative endeavors.
创新通常被视为企业成功的关键要素。然而，创业领域较高的商业失败率表明，创新往往是由过度自信而盲目行事的企业家所驱动的。因此，预测企业家何时以及为何会有动力进行创新是创业成功的根本所在。本研究利用从77个国家进行的人口调查中获得的大量样本，分析了与创新行为显著相关的变量。该研究测试了一个模型，该模型提出，傲慢、增长抱负和企业家的创业经验水平的共同作用对创新努力具有至关重要的影响。研究发现，傲慢与企业家的增长抱负显著相关，而抱负反过来又与创新行为呈正相关。此外，研究发现这两种关系都受到创业经验水平的调节。这些发现凸显了在业余企业家开始创新努力之前让他们明智起来的必要性。
