Many people have entrepreneurial dreams in mind, yet existing research has neglected to focus on this phenomenon. This paper introduces the concept of entrepreneurial dreams, constructs a model of the relationship between entrepreneurial dreams and turnover intention to start-up, based on identity theory and prospect theory, and empirically analyses the mechanism of the effect of entrepreneurial dreams on turnover intention to start-up. Through the analysis of data from two multi-provincial and multi-wave employee studies (Study 1 N = 198, Study 2 N = 227), the findings show that: (1) employees' entrepreneurial dreams positively influence turnover intention to start-up; (2) employees' entrepreneurial dreams can stimulate employees' sense of entrepreneurial self-efficacy, thus positively influencing turnover intention to start-up; (3) job embeddedness plays a moderating role in the relationship between entrepreneurial self-efficacy and turnover intention to start-up, specifically, the higher the degree of job embeddedness, the weaker the effect of entrepreneurial self-efficacy on turnover intention to start-up; (4) job embeddedness moderates the indirect effect of entrepreneurial dreams on turnover intention to start-up through entrepreneurial self-efficacy, specifically, the higher the degree of job embeddedness, the weaker the indirect effect of entrepreneurial dreams on turnover intention to start-up through entrepreneurial self-efficacy. This study reveals the mediating role of employees' entrepreneurial self-efficacy and the moderating role of job embeddedness in the influence of entrepreneurial dreams on employees' turnover intention to start-up, which provides theoretical and practical references for relevant organizations.
许多人心中怀揣着创业梦想，但现有研究忽视了对这一现象的关注。本文引入了创业梦想的概念，基于认同理论和前景理论，构建了创业梦想与创业离职倾向关系的模型，并实证分析了创业梦想对创业离职倾向影响的作用机制。通过对两个多省份、多波次员工研究（研究 1 N=198，研究 2 N=227）的数据进行分析，结果表明：（1）员工的创业梦想对创业离职倾向有正向影响；（2）员工的创业梦想能够激发员工的创业自我效能感，从而对创业离职倾向产生正向影响；（3）工作嵌入度在创业自我效能感与创业离职倾向之间起调节作用，具体表现为工作嵌入度越高，创业自我效能感对创业离职倾向的影响越弱；（4）工作嵌入度通过创业自我效能感调节创业梦想对创业离职倾向的间接效应，具体表现为工作嵌入度越高，创业梦想通过创业自我效能感对创业离职倾向的间接效应越弱。本研究揭示了员工创业自我效能感在创业梦想影响员工创业离职倾向中的中介作用，以及工作嵌入度在其中的调节作用，为相关组织提供了理论和实践参考。
