چکیده انگلیسی:
Research has shown founders identities have a significant impact on their ventures. Yet, the
process through which founder identity evolves and takes shape remains relatively unexplained.
This paper explores the evolution of founder identity through a qualitative study of first-time
sustainable entrepreneurs, and their stakeholders, over a three years period. Our analysis revealed the importance of personal identity, the aspect of the self that defines a person as a unique
individual based largely on values and beliefs. We found that first-time founders sought to align
their personal identity with their evolving founder identity over time. Based on these findings we
theorize a process model of founder authenticity work, defined as the activities founders engage in to
feel and seem authentic while engaged in entrepreneurial action. This study thus details the significance of personal identity as a guidepost for founder identity evolution, complementing extant founder identity studies focused on role and social identities. In addition, our analysis enriches the current conceptualization of authenticity in entrepreneurship research by linking it to
validation of personal identity and highlighting its negotiated nature in the evolution of authentic founder identities.
