Summary

Introduction and theoretical background

As one of the vital components of social capital and economic growth, entrepreneurship is an extensively demanded feature of individuals and groups. The investigation of the entrepreneur, manager, leader, creator, and artist in one research is crucial because these identities are driving forces of progress and development They are not evident in distinction by society, and they usually occur not isolated. Researchers face a problem that the individuals – possessing talent, personal characteristics, and deep-rooted professional status in the areas of entrepreneurship, management, leadership, creativity, or artistry – reveal difficulties with the classification of who an entrepreneur is, who a manager is, who a leader is, who a creative person is, and who an artist is These imprecise “definitions” of the certain identities make possible to separate the scientifically-described complex identities of artists-entrepreneurs (Bass, 2017; Bridgstock, 2012; Szostak & Sułkowski, 2021a) or artists-managers (Elstad & Jansson, 2020; Szostak & Sułkowski, 2020a, 2021c, 2020b). H2) The differences in perception of the entrepreneur's, manager's, leader's, creator's, and artist's identities between entrepreneurial and nonentrepreneurial individuals are not the same and vary in the case of each of the particular identities
