Self leadership, spirituality, and entrepreneur performance: a conceptual model
This article investigates the value of integrating the constructs of self leadership and spirituality as a resource for entrepreneurs to handle entrepreneurial demands/stressors. Entrepreneurship requires individuals to use their personal resources as they develop their business ventures. Entrepreneurs face multiple challenges as they start and grow their endeavors. We propose a conceptual model showing how the constructs of spirituality and self leadership influence each other and have an impact on the thought patterns and self efficacy of the entrepreneur. In turn, the entrepreneur thought patterns and self efficacy enable the entrepreneur to more effectively confront demands/stressors and thus improve entrepreneurial firm performance.
