“…For contexts marked by a weak rule of law, our findings point to a potentially dangerous combination of high positive wellbeing in the face of stressful work that may lead to self-exploitation by entrepreneurs, consistent with their simultaneously higher negative wellbeing in these contexts. This may endanger entrepreneurs' careers, their businesses, and the employees that depend on them in the long term: because entrepreneurs enjoy their work, they keep working and do not grant themselves respite from the stresses that their work entails (Williamson et al, 2021). At the same time, it was encouraging to see that even in these more uncertain contexts individuals still gained some positive wellbeing benefits from entrepreneurship, pointing to the resilience of these entrepreneurs (Miller & Le Breton-Miller, 2017).…”

Entrepreneurship can be fulfilling and enhance wellbeing, but also highly stressful and diminish wellbeing. This meta-analytical review synthesizes 319 effect sizes from 94 studies and 82 countries to establish whether individuals derive greater wellbeing from working for themselves or for someone else. The answer is partly positive in favor of entrepreneurship but depends on the components of wellbeing under investigation (positive wellbeing or negative wellbeing/mental illbeing) and the institutional context (especially the rule of law). We contribute by developing the component view of wellbeing as an organizing framework and by advancing an institutional perspective to guide research on entrepreneurs’ wellbeing.

“…Research on stress response and interoceptive awareness demonstrates that individuals who experience high levels of stress may be less aware of their own physical needs (e.g., Price & Hooven, 2018). Senior managers or entrepreneurs who work in high pressure roles, for example, can work to the point of breakdown/burnout without noticing declining levels of well-being (e.g., Williamson et al, 2021). Leader and follower interactions can result in physiological responses that provide additional insights going beyond the leader’s and followers’ self-perceptions.…”

This special issue introduces a set of papers that contribute to research on leadership and health/well-being from multiple perspectives. To situate these papers in current research debates, this introduction to the special issue provides an overview of research on leadership and health/well-being by using a microscope-macroscope perspective as an organizing framework.The microscope-macroscope organizing framework highlights that a comprehensive understanding of leadership and well-being requires researchers to include multiple perspectives, including those of leaders and followers, embedded in their context and time. It encourages researchers to transcend more narrow input-process-output perspectives that are typically adopted when studying leadership, health and well-being.

“…Exiting decision is an inevitable component of the entrepreneurial process and central to entrepreneurial decision-making research (1)(2)(3)(4). When entrepreneurs are confronted with pressures, they will more or less decide whether to persist or pull the plug and exit the business (5)(6)(7). Nevertheless, very little research has attempted to document or investigate it (4,(8)(9)(10).…”

In the context of a transitional economy, there are much more studies with a heroic characterization of social entrepreneurs, whereas there is limited exploration of their less positive stories. A range of studies tried to address this issue, although very few delved into the “inner layer” (work-related mental health) to unveil the mechanism of how social entrepreneurs develop their intention to quit their businesses. With a sample of 196 social business owners from China, this research focuses on the prosocial motivation of social entrepreneurs as well as its impacts on their work-related wellbeing and thus their business exit intention. With the partial least squares structural equation modeling, this research finds that prosocial motivation decreased entrepreneurs' partial work-related wellbeing, increasing their exit intention, and the mediating effects among the three components of work-related wellbeing were different. Furthermore, this research finds that work-related wellbeing's impact on exit intention was largely stronger for the social entrepreneurs without political connections.
