摘要

目的 本研究旨在探讨协同工作空间(CWS)对远程工作的微型企业家的幸福感和创业满意度的影响,强调这些空间在传统工作地点之外的作用。本研究采用了一种混合方法,通过对具有代表性的微型企业家样本(包括在协同工作空间工作的微型企业家)进行定量调查,并与经常使用协同工作空间的人进行定性焦点小组讨论,在此基础上进行近邻匹配和多元回归。研究发现,微型企业家从使用社区工作空间中获得了显著的益处,尤其是在幸福感和工作与生活的平衡方面。这些空间通过社区建设、建立联系的机会和结构化的工作环境提供了宝贵的支持。我们为远程工作的微型企业家,尤其是家中有年幼子女的妇女提供了明确的启示,即为什么要将社区工作空间作为其主要工作地点。研究结果还为政策制定者和社区工作站提供者提供了启示,强调了设计满足微型企业家不同需求的社区工作站环境的重要性。原创性/价值本研究详细探讨了微型企业家使用社区工作站的情况以及社区工作站对他们的福祉和创业满意度的影响,为现有文献做出了贡献。

Fostering wellbeing and satisfaction for micro-entrepreneurs: the role of coworking spaces

Purpose

This study aims to examine the impact of coworking spaces (CWS) on the wellbeing and entrepreneurial satisfaction of remotely working micro-entrepreneurs, highlighting the role of these spaces beyond conventional work locations. It specifically investigates how CWS foster a supportive ecosystem for micro-entrepreneurs, supporting their professional journey.

Design/methodology/approach

Employing a mixed-methodological approach, this study uses nearest-neighbor matching and multiple regressions based on quantitative surveys from a representative sample of micro-entrepreneurs, including those working from CWS, and a qualitative focus group with frequent CWS users. This comprehensive approach allows for a nuanced exploration of the impacts of CWS on micro-entrepreneurs' wellbeing and satisfaction.

Findings

The study finds that micro-entrepreneurs experience significant benefits from utilizing CWS, most notably in terms of wellbeing and work–life balance. These spaces provide valuable support through community building, networking opportunities and structured work environments. The benefits of CWS are particularly pronounced for women and micro-entrepreneurs with young children, aiding in boundary management and mitigating the challenges of social isolation.

Practical implications

We provide clear implications for remotely working micro-entrepreneurs, especially women with young children at home, on why to use CWS as their primary locations. The findings also offer insights for policymakers and CWS providers, underlining the importance of designing CWS environments that meet micro-entrepreneurs' diverse needs.

Originality/value

This study contributes to the existing literature by providing a detailed examination of the utilization of CWS among micro-entrepreneurs and the impact of CWS on their wellbeing and entrepreneurial satisfaction.
