PURPOSE: In the last two decades, the concept of entrepreneurial alertness (EA) has been considered a key element in investigating how individuals recognize entrepreneurial opportunities. Consequently, research on entrepreneurial alertness has grown considerably, attracting researchers' attention from not only the field of entrepreneurship, but also other academic disciplines through which this concept has been studied from a variety of perspectives. Therefore, it is time to document researchers' cumulative knowledge on entrepreneurial alertness. The present study aims to provide a comprehensive qualitative review and evaluation of the empirical entrepreneurial alertness research. METHODOLOGY: Based on a multi-step approach used in previous studies, which guarantees a systematic, transparent, and replicable literature review, this study identified a final sample of 84 articles published in scientific journals between 2005 and 2021 that empirically tested the concept of EA. The publications were sourced from the Web of Science database. Their analysis involved the evolution of published articles, the journals that have published the most articles, the countries where the research was undertaken, the measurement scales that have been used, and the research models in which entrepreneurial alertness has been hypothesized and examined through empirical research. FINDINGS: The results show that empirical research on entrepreneurial alertness grew significantly from 2016 to 2021, during which period almost 11 articles per year were published. Seven of the journals that published the articles contributed 28 percent of the total publications. Also, the results confirm that most of the empirical research on alertness has been carried out in developing economies, from which China stands out with 14 publications, representing 16 percent of the total. Additionally, the results confirm the growing consensus regarding the conceptualization and measurement of entrepreneurial alertness. Finally, the review resulted in the identification of five broad research models in which EA has been hypothesized and examined through empirical research: antecedents, consequences, mediation, moderation, and moderated mediation. The model examining the consequences or outcomes of entrepreneurial alertness has received the most attention, with 59 articles in this context. IMPLICATIONS FOR THEORY AND PRACTICE: The identification of concepts and the type of relationship they have with entrepreneurial alertness help evaluate the advances of empirical research as well as the areas of opportunity. In this way, future studies can strengthen research and thus advance the general knowledge of alertness. The most studied topics are also a reflection of the contribution of entrepreneurial alertness toward practice, both at the individual and organizational levels. In addition, researchers interested in entrepreneurial alertness are encouraged to consider the progress made in the measurement of this aspect, which offers alternatives for investigation. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: Based on the review of the literature, this study organizes the empirical research of entrepreneurial alertness in different research models, which provide important insights into its process. Moreover, this study uncovers potential areas to be addressed and thereby contributes to the study of entrepreneurial alertness. (original abstract)

CEL: W ciągu ostatnich dwóch dekad koncepcja przedsiębiorczej czujności (EA) była uważana za kluczowy element w badaniu, w jaki sposób jednostki rozpoznają możliwości przedsiębiorcze. W rezultacie badania nad czujnością przedsiębiorczą znacznie się rozwinęły, przyciągając uwagę badaczy nie tylko z dziedziny przedsiębiorczości, ale także innych dyscyplin akademickich, w ramach których tę koncepcję badano z różnych perspektyw. Dlatego nadszedł czas, aby udokumentować skumulowaną wiedzę badaczy na temat czujności przedsiębiorczej. Niniejsze badanie ma na celu zapewnienie kompleksowego przeglądu jakościowego i oceny empirycznych badań czujności przedsiębiorczej. METODYKA: W oparciu o wieloetapowe podejście zastosowane w poprzednich badaniach, które gwarantuje systematyczny, przejrzysty i powtarzalny przegląd literatury, w tym badaniu zidentyfikowano ostateczną próbę 84 artykułów opublikowanych w czasopismach naukowych w latach 2005-2021, które empirycznie przetestowały koncepcję EA . Publikacje pochodzą z bazy Web of Science. Ich analiza obejmowała ewolucję opublikowanych artykułów, czasopism, które opublikowały najwięcej artykułów, krajów, w których przeprowadzono badania, zastosowanych skal pomiarowych oraz modeli badawczych, w których postawiono hipotezę czujności przedsiębiorczej i zbadano ją poprzez badania empiryczne. WYNIKI: Wyniki pokazują, że badania empiryczne dotyczące czujności przedsiębiorczej znacznie wzrosły od 2016 do 2021 roku, w którym to okresie publikowano prawie 11 artykułów rocznie. Siedem czasopism, które opublikowały artykuły, przyczyniło się do 28 procent wszystkich publikacji. Wyniki potwierdzają również, że większość badań empirycznych nad czujnością została przeprowadzona w krajach rozwijających się, z których Chiny wyróżniają się 14 publikacjami, co stanowi 16 proc. całości. Ponadto wyniki potwierdzają rosnący konsensus dotyczący konceptualizacji i pomiaru czujności przedsiębiorczej. Ostatecznie przegląd zaowocował identyfikacją pięciu szerokich modeli badawczych, w których postawiono hipotezę EA i zbadano ją poprzez badania empiryczne: poprzedniki, konsekwencje, mediacja, moderacja i moderowana mediacja. Najwięcej uwagi poświęcono modelowi badającemu konsekwencje lub skutki czujności przedsiębiorczej, który zawiera 59 artykułów w tym kontekście. IMPLIKACJE: Identyfikacja pojęć i rodzaju ich związku z czujnością przedsiębiorczą pomaga ocenić postęp badań empirycznych, a także obszary możliwości. W ten sposób przyszłe badania mogą wzmocnić i pogłębić ogólną wiedzę na temat czujności. Najczęściej badane tematy są również odzwierciedleniem wkładu czujności przedsiębiorczej w praktykę, zarówno na poziomie indywidualnym, jak i organizacyjnym. Ponadto badaczy zainteresowanych czujnością przedsiębiorczą zachęca się do rozważenia postępów poczynionych w pomiarze tego aspektu, który oferuje alternatywy dla badań. ORYGINALNOŚĆ I WARTOŚĆ: W oparciu o przegląd literatury niniejsze badanie organizuje badania empiryczne czujności przedsiębiorczej w różnych modelach badawczych, które dostarczają ważnych informacji na temat tego procesu. Ponadto niniejsze badanie odkrywa potencjalne obszary, którymi należy się zająć, a tym samym stanowi wkład w badanie czujności przedsiębiorczej. (abstrakt oryginalny)
