Entrepreneurship Studies and Influences Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Migration, Ethnicity, and Economy

Abstract

Inspired by anecdotal evidence of successful entrepreneurs with attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), scholars have started to investigate the relationship between ADHD and entrepreneurship. However, there is limited understanding of whether or not ADHD symptoms of entrepreneurs are functional in terms of firm performance. Drawing on two samples of entrepreneurs we found that impulsive and hyperactive symptoms of ADHD are conducive to firm performance while inattention symptoms are not. Further, the positive relationship between ADHD symptoms and firm performance is fully mediated by Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO). We discuss the implications of our findings for entrepreneurship literature.
