The purpose of this paper is to review the existing research on the antecedents of entrepreneurial networking behavior namely motivational factors and personality factors and its impact on business performance.
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: This study employs a systematic review methodology, adhering to PRISMA guidelines.. Using the SCOPUS database, the search involved Boolean operators to narrow down relevant articles published in English between 2000 and 2024. Following a meticulous screening process, 32 articles were selected for review after removing duplicates and excluding non-English articles. Methodological quality assessment ensuring focused research questions, precise subject selection methods, representative samples, and reliable measurement instruments was carried out.
The results demonstrate that entrepreneurs who are self-reliant and extroverted have fewer partners, however, these traits positively impact networking activities. The Big Five personality traits predict business creation and success of ventures. Desire for financial gain, risk-taking propensity, self-confidence, and the need for achievement influences networking behavior.
The insights given in this paper can be used for establishing valuable connections, investing in resources, and preparing effective strategies for businesses. Policymakers who aim to promote entrepreneurial behavior among experienced individuals must emphasize the motivations for starting a business and the role of personalities in harnessing and leveraging individual entrepreneurial expertise.
The existing literature on antecedents of entrepreneurial networking Behavior and the relationship of these antecedents together with business performance is limited. Further, this review article also offers avenues for future researchers.
本文旨在回顾创业网络行为的前因，即动机因素和人格因素，及其对商业绩效的影响。
设计/方法/途径：本研究采用系统综述方法，遵循 PRISMA 指南。使用 SCOPUS 数据库，通过布尔运算符搜索 2000 年至 2024 年期间以英文发表的相关文章。经过仔细筛选，在去除重复项和排除非英文文章后，选择了 32 篇文章进行综述。对方法质量评估进行了评估，以确保研究问题集中、主题选择方法准确、样本具有代表性且测量仪器可靠。
结果表明，自立和外向的企业家合作伙伴较少，但这些特质对网络活动有积极影响。大五人格特质预测企业的创建和创业的成功。对财务收益的渴望、冒险倾向、自信和成就需求影响网络行为。
本文提供的见解可用于建立有价值的联系、投资资源和为企业制定有效的战略。政策制定者若要促进经验丰富的个人的创业行为，必须强调创业的动机以及个性在利用和利用个人创业专业知识方面的作用。
创业网络行为的前因及其与商业绩效的关系的现有文献有限。此外，这篇综述文章还为未来的研究人员提供了途径。
