20.500.12556/RUL-169880 Should I stay or should I go? the interplay between scientific and entrepreneurial passion in shaping the frustration-intention relationship in the academia Academic careers come with many joys but are frequently accompanied by frustration. In the present study, we provide a multi-dimensional measure of academic frustration. Using a sample of 312 differently frustrated academics across the globe, our study develops a new perspective on academic frustration and academics' intention to stay or leave academia. We empirically investigate the interaction between academic frustration and scientific and entrepreneurial passion in predicting four different intention outcomes: spin-off, startup, leaving academia, and changing university. Our findings indicate that scientific passion positively determines the intention to stay in academia, whereas entrepreneurial passion prompts academics to opt out of academic careers when overly frustrated. This study contributes to multiple literature and offers practical implications for academics and institutions. From a policy perspective, we seek to provide guidance on how to deal with the intentions and actions of frustrated academics. business schools research work entrepreneurship management academic frustration scale development frustration scientifc passion entrepreneurial passion intention to stay/leave poslovne šole raziskovalno delo podjetništvo management true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-06-13 11:28:16 2025-06-13 11:38:55 2025-06-14 04:53:11 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 [in press] 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 001.89(4) 0952-8733 10.1057/s41307-024-00348-1 188876291 s41307-024-00348-1.pdf s41307-024-00348-1.pdf 1 545F5CF8557F905C34C119AB0179571F 137d2fde3c12b08be83f8d3e5b2c67c1b21b2075cde1ea7634974a589ae3d524 4d9c63f1-4838-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=211632 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/s41307-024-00348-1#article-info 0 5d0971e0-4838-11f0-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=211633 Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
