Abstract

Abstract Given the limited studies in the literature to understand entrepreneurial well-being, in this study, we aimed to answer the questions “what kind of resources does an entrepreneur need to experience a high level of well-being?” and “what would be the possible consequences of an entrepreneur’s well-being?” To elaborate the entrepreneurial well-being concept further, we conducted in-depth interviews with 20 male, married, and opportunity-driven entrepreneurs operating technology enterprises in Turkey. Based on the thematic analysis of the interviews, we ended up with six resources for their well-being (i.e., individual factors, family life, entrepreneurial success, network, the team, and investment) and five areas on which their well-being is impactful (i.e., individual, family, societal, employees, and business). Despite its limitations, our study contributes significantly to entrepreneurial well-being literature and paves the way for further research.

创业幸福感:积极创业的探索性研究

鉴于文献中对企业家幸福感的研究有限，在本研究中，我们旨在回答“企业家需要什么样的资源才能体验到高水平的幸福感?”以及“企业家的幸福可能带来的后果是什么?”为了进一步阐述创业幸福感的概念，我们对20位在土耳其经营科技企业的男性、已婚、机会驱动型企业家进行了深度访谈。基于对访谈的主题分析，我们最终得出了影响他们幸福感的六种资源(即个人因素、家庭生活、创业成功、网络、团队和投资)和影响他们幸福感的五个领域(即个人、家庭、社会、员工和企业)。尽管有其局限性，但我们的研究对创业幸福感文献有重要贡献，并为进一步的研究铺平了道路。
