Specifically, we develop theoretical arguments to suggest that societal-level uncertainty avoidance, institutional collectivism, performance orientation, and future orientation differ in their effects on the propensity for individuals to engage in full- or part-time self-employment. Multi-level analyses based on data from 28,157 individuals in 27 countries support our theoretical reasoning. Our study contributes to extending knowledge both on the link between societal culture and self-employment activity and on the drivers of full-time versus part-time self-employment %K full-time self-employment %K GLOBE %K multi-level analysis %K part-time self-employment %K societal culture %U https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0266242618801441
