讲座摘要：

Entrepreneurship is an emotional journey because it is full of ups and downs. A growing body of research has also shown that emotions play an important role in influencing entrepreneurial motivation, decisions, and performance. Past research focused mainly on positive and negative affect and scholars are increasingly calling for new research that uses "discrete emotions to examine more nuanced relationships" in entrepreneurship. Answering this call, this study focuses on shame, an emotion that commonly follows from setbacks and failure prevalent in entrepreneurship. Although shame is widely believed to have devastating effects such as psychological suffering and corrosion of entrepreneurial motivation and performance, this research argues that shame associated with business failure can also induce a self-restorative motivation that drives entrepreneurs to boost self-image in serial entrepreneurial pursuit, particularly when the shame associated with business failure is perceived as reparable. A lab experiment and a field survey provide initial support for these hypotheses. Theoretical and practice implications are discussed.
