“…Second, higher work demands are consistently linked to lower well-being like life satisfaction (e.g. Dijkhuizen et al , 2014; Maggiori et al , 2013; Safstrom and Hartig, 2013; Thuynsma and de Beer, 2017), yet researchers report that entrepreneurs have higher life satisfaction (Baron et al , 2016; Brieger et al , 2019; Hessels et al , 2018; Shir et al , 2019).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate how stress appraisals (i.e. cognitive evaluations) influence entrepreneurial outcomes like expected financial well-being, life satisfaction, business growth and exit intentions.Design/methodology/approachThis study uses a mixed-methods approach to provide methodological triangulation by analyzing data from two independent samples (qualitative data from 100 entrepreneurs in Study 1; quantitative regression analysis of a sample of 142 entrepreneurs in Study 2).FindingsResults from the qualitative exploration (Study 1) show that entrepreneurs appraised venture-related stressors differently as a challenge, threat or hindrance. The quantitative study (Study 2) found that challenge stress appraisals were positively related to expected financial well-being and expected life satisfaction, threat stress appraisals were negatively related to expected financial well-being and positively related to business exit intentions, and hindrance stress appraisals were positively related to expected business growth and negatively related to business exit intentions.Originality/valueMost entrepreneurship research focuses on stressors rather than appraisals of the stressor. Drawing upon the transactional theory of stress that explains how stress appraisals are an important consideration for understanding the stress process, these two studies showed that stress appraisals differ for each entrepreneur (Study 1) and that stress appraisals explain more variance in many entrepreneurial outcomes than stressors (Study 2).

“…are met. Entrepreneurship, as a career option that allows individuals to express their personal interests in life (Morales and Holtschlag, 2013) and allows each of these needs to be met, can be a goal in itself, that, when achieved, enhances levels of life satisfaction (Brieger et al, 2020). Defined as a state of well-being and sense of pleasure and satisfaction with aspirations and goals (Pavot and Diener, 1993), life satisfaction occurs when individuals see that their attributes, aspirations and goals are being met, and this is more likely to occur when they are self-employedwhich entails self-determination and autonomythan working for others (Larsson and Thulin, 2019;Binder and Croad, 2013).…”

PurposeThe high and persistent unemployment rates of people with intellectual disabilities (PwID) reveal the wide gap that still remains to be bridged. Entrepreneurship combinedly with a high enterprising tendency could improve PwID's life satisfaction.Design/methodology/approachA mixed-method approach was used, based on questionnaires and structured face-to-face interviews on 37 PwID who had recently become entrepreneurs. Data were firstly quantitatively analyzed using partial least squares-structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM), and qualitative data were used to enable robust findings.FindingsThe entrepreneurial tendency of PwID who had recently become entrepreneurs was found to be a positive to their life quality (LQ), job satisfaction and life satisfaction.Research limitations/implicationsThis study revealed that entrepreneurship among PwID who had high enterprising tendency enhances their LQ, job satisfaction and life satisfaction. However, further research could evaluate whether becoming an entrepreneur is in itself enough to change PwID's life to better, such that a comparison could be done between PwID who become entrepreneurs and PwID who have a salaried job.Practical implicationsNew aspects in the design of public social policies to improve PwID's life satisfaction are suggested. These include the facilitation of both entrepreneurship and enterprising tendency for PwID to enhance their life satisfaction.Originality/valueThere are very few occasions in which PwID set up businesses. This is one of the first studies to analyze the benefit of entrepreneurship and enterprising tendency on the LQ, the satisfaction at work and the life satisfaction of PwID.

“…Third, this study heeds the call for research into the "dark side" of CSR (e.g. Brieger et al, 2019;Yu et al, 2022) by investigating the negative relationships between high levels of corporate philanthropy and employee satisfaction. Brieger et al (2019) articulated the academic gap, stating that what remains underexplored is "a deeper understanding on how organizational CSR engagement may negatively affect employees and their attitudes, intentions and behaviors" (Brieger et al, 2019, p. 312).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to analyze the nonlinear effects of corporate philanthropy on the responses of both internal and external stakeholders as well as its impact on corporate financial performance.Design/methodology/approachBased on the stakeholder theory, the authors developed a conceptual model to examine the nonlinear effects of corporate philanthropy on company performance. For the empirical analysis, data from 397 company-years was analyzed using a using a Heckman two-stage model. The robustness of the findings was also confirmed through panel regression analysis.FindingsThe study revealed a linear relationship between corporate reputation and corporate philanthropy, whereas job satisfaction exhibited a nonlinear relationship with corporate philanthropy.Originality/valueThis research bridges the gap in extant literature by scrutinizing the nonlinear associations between corporate philanthropy and financial performance. Additionally, it addresses an emerging scholarly demand to uncover the “dark side” of corporate philanthropy through an investigation into its adverse impacts on employee satisfaction. Moreover, the study augments existing understandings of stakeholder theory and corporate philanthropy, positing that the influence of corporate philanthropy, as conceptualized through stakeholder theory, hinges on perceived fairness in multilateral relationships.
