ADHD Open Access Innovations

 Although commercialization of research activities has drawn some research attention, more studies are warranted to obviously understand the drivers behind academic entrepreneurship. this paper investigates the association between attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms and academic entrepreneurial preference. ADHD symptoms have typically been related to impaired occupational functioning among wage employees. Recent studies, however, indicate that an equivalent symptoms of ADHD that are a liability for wage employees may go out differently for entrepreneurs. Building on previous studies that link ADHD symptoms to entrepreneurship, and using the theoretical lens of person-environment fit, we hypothesize that ADHD symptoms (at the so-called subclinical level) are related to academic entrepreneurial preference. Results of our data from academic researchers in France, Spain, and Italy (N = 534) show that there's a negative association between attention-deficit symptoms and academic entrepreneurial preference. However, there's no link between hyperactivity symptoms and academic entrepreneurial preference.
