    Dynamics of entrepreneurial well-being: Insights from computational theory
    (Elsevier, 2024-02) Pistrui, Joseph; Dimov, Dimo; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    We explore the dynamics of entrepreneurial performance and well-being through computational theory. Our model connects mechanisms of work-related motivation and strain processes with the unfolding of an entrepreneurial process. The simulation results show that how an entrepreneur’s energy ebbs and flows over their journey, charting certain venturing performance and levels of well-being, can be linked to distinct interplays of ambition, skill, self-regulation, and dynamism. Our work contributes a holistic account of entrepreneurship and well-being, stimulates computational modelling, and enriches discussions about the entrepreneurial future of work.

    Entrepreneurship Education as a First-Person Transformation
    (SAGE Publications Inc., 2022) Dimov, Dimo; Pistrui, Joseph; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    As entrepreneurship education spreads and aims to transform mindsets,its theories and methods need to be attuned to the first-person perspective of the learner. We provide a map for entrepreneurship education that bridges the subjective,inter-subjective,and objective as distinct varieties of knowledge and turns the classroom into a space for practical reasoning. It focuses on the world as it could be,brought alive in the first-person sense of possibility and shaped by new ways of seeing and doing. © The Author(s) 2020.

    Look Who Is Talking … and Who Is Listening Finding an Integrative “We” Voice in Entrepreneurial Scholarship
    (2020-03-29) Pistrui, Joseph; Dimov, Dimo; Schaefer, Reiner; https://ror.org/02jjdwm75
    This paper explores the relationship between the study of entrepreneurs and the entrepreneurs we study. While scholars typically adopt a detached, third-person stance for the purpose of explaining and predicting entrepreneurial action, entrepreneurs instead operate in a first-person stance of deciding what to do. The two stances cannot be reduced to one another. We argue that an engaged dialog—a second-person stance—can bring scholars and entrepreneurs together into a unifying practical decision-making perspective. By working to develop this integrative voice in scholarship, we can collapse the dualism of rigor and relevance.
