“…This study argues that psychologically driven stressors and strain require a psychological response. Since psychological feelings of strain result from personal resource constraints, a psychological resource can compensate for it (Burhanuddin et al, 2019). An appropriate psychological response moderates the impact of IJEBR 27,7 stressors on entrepreneurial strain and burnout over time (Omrane et al, 2018).…”

PurposeConsiderable evidence suggests that although they overlap, entrepreneurial and employee stressors have different causal antecedents and outcomes. However, limited empirical data explain how entrepreneurial traits, work and life drive entrepreneurial stressors and create entrepreneurial strain (commonly called entrepreneurial stress). Drawing on the challenge-hindrance framework (CHF), this paper hypothesises the causal effect of hindrance stressors on entrepreneurial strain. Furthermore, the study posits that entrepreneurial stressors and the resultant strain affect entrepreneurial behaviour.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopts an SEM-based machine-learning approach. Cross-lagged path models using SEM are used to analyse the data and train the machine-learning algorithm for cross-validation and generalisation. The sample consists of 415 entrepreneurs from three countries: India, Oman and United Arab Emirates. The entrepreneurs completed two self-report surveys over 12 months.FindingsThe results show that hindrances to personal and professional goal achievement, demand-capability gap and contradictions between aspiration and reality, primarily due to unique resource constraints, characterise entrepreneurial stressors leading to entrepreneurial strain. The study further asserts that entrepreneurial strain is a significant predictor of entrepreneurial behaviour, significantly affecting innovativeness behaviour. Finally, the finding suggests that psychological capital moderates the adverse impact of stressors on entrepreneurial strain over time.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the CHF by demonstrating the value of hindrance stressors in studying entrepreneurial strain and providing new insights into entrepreneurial coping. It argues that entrepreneurs cope effectively against hindrance stressors by utilising psychological capital. Furthermore, the study provides more evidence about the causal, reversed and reciprocal relationships between stressors and entrepreneurial strain through a cross-lagged analysis. This study is one of the first to evaluate the impact of entrepreneurial strain on entrepreneurial behaviour. Using a machine-learning approach is a new possibility for using machine learning for SEM and entrepreneurial strain.

“…The evidence above suggests that someone with high level of PsyCap will be more likely to survive and succeed in a stressful environment. As indicated by a systematic review, PsyCap research within educational domains is still in its early stage [13] although a few studies already provided evidence that academic stress can be positively mediated by PsyCap among student population [14] .…”

“…Scholars claimed that PsyCap influences performance (e.g., Imran & Shahnawaz, 2020;Rodríguez-Cifuentes et al, 2020;Alias et al, 2020, Ali et al, 2021. Moreover, PsyCap has significantly affected career outcomes (Baluku et al, 2021), innovative behavior (Slatten et al, 2020; Wang, Chen, & Zhu, 2020), and job satisfaction (Burhanuddin et al, 2019). Moreover, PsyCap reduces anxiety, depression, and stress (Rodrigues et al, 2017).…”

“…Moreover, PsyCap reduces anxiety, depression, and stress (Rodrigues et al, 2017). In the academic context, Psycap is related to academic performance (Carmona-Halty et al, 2019) and academic achievement (Burhanuddin et al, 2019). Psycap is a persons' psychological mechanism related to his capacity and psychological development to accomplish any certain task or solve a particular problem.…”

This study explores the empirical effect of psychological capital (PsyCap) on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) mediated by affective commitment. A questionnaire in the Likert scale model collected research data. The sample of this research is 469 teachers of senior schools in Indonesia selected by accidental sampling. Data analysis uses path analysis supported by descriptive statistics and correlational matrics. The study indicates that PsyCap significantly affects teachers’ OCB, directly and indirectly, mediated by affective commitment. Thus, the teachers’ OCB can enhance through PsyCap and affective commitment. Therefore, a new model regarding the effect of PsyCap on teachers’ OCB, mediated by affective commitment, was confirmed. Thus, the researchers and practitioners can adopt or adapt a new empirical model to increase teachers’ OCB through PsyCap and affective commitment in the future.
