Abstract |
This study investigates the dual role of bonding social capital among Temporary Indian
Migrant Entrepreneurs (TIME) in Thailand, showing both its benefits to entrepreneurial
success and the limits it places on autonomy and innovation. The following objectives were,
aims to examine the role of bonding social capital in supporting TIME in Thailand and to
analyse the impact of over-reliance on bonding social capital on the autonomy and innovation
of TIME in Thailand. The qualitative research uses a phenomenological method, in-depth
interviews with TIME. The findings highlight bonding social capital, obtained from close-knit
networks such as family and community relationships, is crucial in providing resources and
stability throughout the early stages of entrepreneurial endeavors. Entrepreneurs gain
emotional support, shared knowledge, and guidance through difficult regulatory frameworks,
which collectively provide a "safety net" during times of uncertainty. Financial and strategic
assistance from these networks strengthens resilience, especially during economic downturns
or market volatility. However, a reliance on bonded social capital limits business liberty and
creativity. Implicit expectations from these networks constrain entrepreneurs' decision-making
independence, with many feelings forced to conform to traditional conventions. Fear of
community rejection or financial risks hinders the exploration and adoption of new ideas,
limiting innovation and long-term progress. |
