Abstract

Purpose

This study draws on the conservation of resources logic to theorize the role of firm resilience in explaining variations in entrepreneurial well-being under varying conditions of supply chain disruption and dependency ratio.

Design/methodology/approach

The study uses ex-post survey data from 373 women entrepreneurs in diverse agricultural supply chains in Ghana, a sub-Saharan African country. Moderated regression analysis is employed to test the research hypotheses.

Findings

The results indicate that firm resilience has both positive and negative relationships with economic and subjective well-being, depending on the level of supply chain disruption and dependency ratio women entrepreneurs face. Notably, the findings suggest that firm resilience contributes more to economic and subjective well-being of women entrepreneurs when dependency ratio is low and supply chain disruption is high.

Originality/value

The study integrates firm resilience research and entrepreneurial well-being literature to provide new insights into theorizing and analyzing the benefit of firm resilience for women entrepreneurs’ well-being.

企业复原力、压力因素和创业福祉：加纳女企业家的见解

本研究借鉴资源保护逻辑，从理论上探讨了在供应链中断和依赖率不同的条件下，企业复原力在解释创业者福祉变化方面的作用。研究采用了撒哈拉以南非洲国家加纳不同农业供应链中 373 名女企业家的事后调查数据。研究结果表明，企业复原力与经济和主观幸福感既有正向关系，也有负向关系，具体取决于女企业家面临的供应链中断程度和依赖率。值得注意的是，研究结果表明，当依赖率低、供应链中断程度高时，企业复原力对女企业家经济和主观幸福感的贡献更大。
