Abstract

Die vorliegende Studie untersucht den Einfluss der unternehmerischen Motivation auf die Wiedergründungsbereitschaft unter Berücksichtigung des Effekts des Unternehmensalters. Die Wiedergründungsbereitschaft impliziert dabei eine zusammenfassende Bewertung der nachhaltigen Zufriedenheit des Gründers mit der Selbstständigkeit. Unter Verwendung eines großzahligen Datensatzes von 1.332 Neugründungen in Deutschland werden unternehmer-ische Motivation und unterschiedliche Motivationstypen im Zeitverlauf betrachtet und deren Auswirkungen auf die Bereitschaft von Existenzgründern, erneut zu gründen, untersucht. Die Ergebnisse liefern erste detaillierte empirische Evidenzen dafür, dass der Einfluss unternehmerischer Motivation auf die Wiedergründungsbereitschaft im Zeitverlauf variiert. Es kann gezeigt werden, dass der Einfluss intrinsischer Motivationsfaktoren auf die Wiedergründungsbereitschaft in der Start- und Gründungsphase am stärksten ist, aber im Laufe der Unternehmensentwicklung immer mehr nachlässt. Im Laufe der Nachgründungsphase hat intrinsische Motivation durchgängig geringeren Einfluss auf die Wiedergründungsbereitschaft als extrinsische Motivation. Extrinsische Motivation erweist sich nach Gründung über die ganze Frühentwicklungszeit durchgehend als wichtigste Größe für die nachhaltige Zufriedenheit. Die empirische Analyse wendet Logitmodelle an, ergänzende Probit- und Relogit-Modelle bestätigen die Robustheit der Schätzergebnisse. Für detailliertere Analysen werden marginale Effekte und prognostizierte Wahrscheinlichkeiten im Zeitverlauf der Frühentwicklung berechnet.
