Resource induced coping heuristics transform psychological capital into opportunity recognition

Journal Article coauthored by Baris Istipliler is accepted by Journal of General Management. The new paper coauthored by ifm‘s PhD candidate Baris Istipliler together with Masoud Karami (University of Otago, New Zealand), Jintong Tang (Saint Louis University, USA) , and Samuel Adomako (University of Birmingham, UK), documents the important mediating role of resource induced coping heuristics (RiCH) between psychological capital and opportunity recognition.

.The intercontinental team of authors posits a positive effect of psychological capital on opportunity recognition given its role on boosting motivation, creativitiy and risk taking. Following that, authors explain how RiCH acts as a way for entrepreneurs with high psychological capital to recognize actionable opportunities. This is the case since RiCH enables entrepreneurs to deal with the the anxiety asssociated with possible resource loss associated with inherently uncertain opportunities. Based on a sample of 208 entrepreneurs surveyed in Ghana, the article offers support for these conjectures.
