Entrepreneurial passion has been proposed as a central characteristic of entrepreneurs, theorized to influence a host of entrepreneurial behaviors as well as firm performance. The current study explores one set of pathways leading from developer passion to performance, identifying self-regulatory mode (locomotion and assessment) and grit as significant conduits of this relationship. In this study, we use multi-source survey data, with 1 year lagged performance data, to empirically examine relationships between developer passion, self-regulatory mode, grit, and performance. Using path analysis modeling, we find that the relationship between developer passion and grit is mediated by both locomotion and assessment, with results indicating a positive relationship between locomotion and grit and a negative relationship between assessment and grit. Our results also reveal a positive relationship between grit and venture performance. Implications of these findings to research and practice are then discussed.

Goal setting theory suggests that difficult goals enhance performance on many tasks. When goals are so difficult as to be unattainable, however, they may generate discouragement and reduced motivation, with the result that performance, too, is decreased. Previous research indicates that entrepreneurs are high in self-efficacy and, as a result, may tend to set goals that are so difficult that they cannot realistically be achieved. We reason that self-control, one important aspect of self-regulation, may restrain this tendency and encourage entrepreneurs to set goals that, although difficult, are also attainable. Results offer support for this hypothesis. Goal setting theory also predicts a positive relationship between goal difficulty and performance. We suggest, and find, that this relationship is curvilinear: up to a point, increases in goal difficulty are positively related to firm performance, but beyond this point, further increases in difficulty are negatively related to firm performance. The findings of this study contribute to knowledge concerning the role of entrepreneurs' self-regulation in the performance of their companies.

... s distinction has been explained by the dependency of developing and founding passion on the availability and flexibility of financial resources (Adomako et. al., 2018). This distinction is explained by the dependency of development and founding passion on the availability and flexibility of financial resources (Adomako et al., 2018). Furthermore, Mueller et. al. (2017) worked "self-regulated theory" of motivation to demonstrate that EP for developing indirectly enhances venture performance by boosting entrepreneurs' grit. Therefore, this study underscores a significant link between EP and venture performance, although it challenges Duckworth et. al. (2007)'s assertion that entrepreneurial passion and ...

... The failure of a venture occurs when the business is no longer financially viable and must cease operating under its existing management (Shepherd, 2003).
