This study investigates the mediating role of organizational innovation in the relationship between entrepreneurs' passion and new venture performance in China. We also examine the moderating role of the Zhong-yong thinking of entrepreneurs in the abovementioned relationship to explore the influencing mechanism of entrepreneurs' passion in non-Western societies. Results from 154 Chinese new ventures support the positive relationship between entrepreneurs' passion and new venture performance and the mediating role of organizational innovation. The Zhong-yong thinking of entrepreneurs can also strengthen the relationship between entrepreneurs' passion and organizational innovation. Finally, the theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
