Abstract

Zusammenfassung Die vorliegende Studie untersucht auf Basis eines erwartungstheoretischen Bezugsrahmens die Frage, wie die Eigenschaften unternehmerischer Projekte etablierter Firmen deren Mitarbeiter motivieren, an diesen Projekten teilzunehmen. Dabei wird der Einfluss der wahrgenommenen Erfolgswahrscheinlichkeit, Arbeitsplatzrisiko, Entlohnungsrisiko, zu erwartendem Einsatz sowie gebotener Erfolgsbeteiligungen im Hinblick auf die Teilnahmeentscheidung der Mitarbeiter analysiert. Zudem wird untersucht, ob die wahrgenommene Erfolgswahrscheinlichkeit einen moderierenden Einfluss auf andere Einflussfaktoren hat. Eine Conjoint-Studie von 1472 Teilnahmeentscheidungen von 46 Mitarbeitern etablierter Technologiefirmen unterstützt weite Teile des postulierten Modells. Implikationen für die wissenschaftliche Literatur und die Managementpraxis werden diskutiert.
