Abstract
In this exploratory mixed methods study, I investigate the relationship between self regulation, self-identity and decision making among a sample of 30 founder manager entrepreneurs. Specifically, I explore how the self-regulated pursuit of a particular self-concept influences entrepreneurial decision making. The study suggests that aspects of self-identity in relation to self-regulation play a significant role in shaping the motivations and decision behaviors of entrepreneurs in goal-setting, goal pursuit and outcome evaluation. In these respects, the findings deepen previous research into cognition and decision making within entrepreneurship.
