创业团队韧性：研究综述与展望

doi:10.19571/j.cnki.1000-2995.2025.06.006

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 面对创业过程高不确定性带来的诸多挑战，创业团队韧性是其有效应对困境并快速恢复、适应和成长，确保创业企业生存及发展的关键。但目前创业团队韧性的理论探索尚处于起步阶段。本文通过系统性文献综述法对已有文献进行搜集和梳理后发现，现有研究关于创业团队韧性的概念内涵尚未达成共识、研究主题较为分散，且中国情境下创业团队韧性的特征表现和形成过程缺乏深入研究。鉴于此，本文首先结合动态过程视角明晰了创业团队韧性的概念内涵，将其划分为恢复力、持续力和成长力三个维度，并指出其高度情境化且动态发展的内涵特征。进一步地，围绕社会认知理论提出的“三元交互”模型，结合特征基础、行动过程以及情境因素三个方面来构建理论分析框架。结果表明，团队结构特征、团队认知特征和团队能力特征共同构成了创业团队韧性的动力来源，创业团队韧性的形成是创业团队有效匹配企业内外部情境来开展战略行动并不断互动迭代的结果。最后，从测量量表、影响因素和形成机制、作用效果、研究情境等出发，提出创业团队韧性这一研究主题的未来展望。本文丰富了不确定情境下创业团队研究的视角，拓宽了创业韧性研究的讨论范围，旨在为创业团队克服创业阻碍以推动创业活动高质量发展提供理论指导。

Abstract: Founding team resilience is critical for effectively addressing challenges posed by high uncertainty during the entrepreneurial process, enabling teams to recover, adapt, and grow rapidly while ensuring the survival and development of entrepreneurial ventures. However, existing research on founding team resilience remains in its initial stage. To address this, we clarified the research topic and status of founding team resilience by using a systematic literature review method, finding that existing studies lack consensus on the conceptual definition of founding team resilience, with research themes remaining fragmented, and there is a lack of attention to the unique characteristics and formation processes of founding team resilience in the Chinese context. In view of this, based on the perspective of dynamic process, we identified the concept of founding team resilience, divided it into three dimensions of recovery, stability, and growth, and indicated its connotation characteristics of highly contextualized and dynamically developing. Further, based on the "ternary interaction" model of the Social Cognitive Theory, a theoretical analysis framework was constructed by combining the characteristic basis, action process and contextual factors. The results showed that, founding team resilience is influenced by team structural, team cognitive, and team capabilities characteristics, and its formation is the result of the founding team effectively matching the internal and external context of enterprise to carry out strategic actions and continuous interactive iteration. Finally, we indicated that future research should consider measurement scales, influencing factors and mechanisms, impacts, and research in the Chinese context of founding team resilience. By enriching the perspective of founding team research under uncertain context, and broadening the scope of founding resilience research, we aim to offer some theoretical guidance to help founding teams overcome challenges and promote high-quality development.
