N2 - The papers included in this symposium aim to enrich and complement the growing literature on entrepreneurial motives from different theoretical and methodological perspectives. While all focus on understanding the links between motives and entrepreneurial outcomes, the papers apply behavioral, economic, social psychological, and cognitive lenses and use a variety of methods including qualitative, survey, linguistic, and experimental methods. Taken together, they offer evidence that the study of motives is important to enriching our understanding of several entrepreneurial processes, including employee entrepreneurship, serial entrepreneurship, business idea development, and financial and human resource acquisition. The goal of this symposium is to raise awareness and spark debate around the multiple ways in which motives matter to entrepreneurial outcomes.
