“…An entrepreneur who is a hypomentalizer usually has trouble correctly relating to professional environments. Thus, relationships with others could generate burnout [39]. In this sense, our results seem to support the arguments of those who have shown that the relationship between the entrepreneur and their subordinates and those they work with daily could be a factor explaining burnout [40].…”

Burnout is a mental disorder that leads to difficulties for the entrepreneur in controlling his or her personal and professional life. The most common consequences of entrepreneurial burnout include the subject experiencing low motivation, low organizational commitment, loss of energy, demoralization in connection with their work, poor quality of work, feeling of failure, and the perception that his or her company is performing poorly. We used a sample of 157 Spanish entrepreneurs selected at random from the Iberian Balance Sheet Analysis System database. We employed the Spanish version of the Reflective Functioning Questionnaire to measure mentalizing and the Spanish version of the Maslach-Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS) to measure burnout. This research showed that entrepreneurial burnout could be avoided in part if the entrepreneur achieved a good capacity for mentalizing. Hypomentalizing contributed to explaining entrepreneurs’ levels of professional efficacy, cynicism, and emotional exhaustion. In contrast, the explanatory power of hypermentalizing was not significant for any of the dimensions of burnout. This study provides new evidence of burnout in entrepreneurs; a professional group with an important economic, politic, and social role has been little studied.

“…Work-family conflict may be an expression of a high level of workload and long work hours, which can cause conflict at home because it reduces time for family activities (Miraglia and Johns, 2018 ). According to Schjoedt ( 2021 ), long work hours and coping with the challenges of starting and managing a business can lead to work-family conflict for the self-employed. The finding that family-work conflict is not significantly associated with SP is not in line with earlier research (Miraglia and Johns, 2016 ).…”

Sickness Presenteeism Among the Swedish Self-Employed During the Covid-19 Pandemic

et al. 2021

The present study analyzed the impact of business operations, work and family circumstances, and well-being on the risk of sickness presenteeism for Swedish self-employed workers during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is of great importance to investigate the impact of the pandemic on the self-employed and their enterprises because they are seen as key drivers of economic growth and constitute an expanding group in many countries. Data were obtained from 845 self-employed workers by a web-based survey including questions about background information, work and family circumstances, well-being, sickness presenteeism, and questions about the pandemic. Results were that around 40% of the self-employed introduced new products, processes, and marketing methods, and just over 50% attempted to get new customers during the pandemic. Nearly half of the self-employed people reported that they lost contracts, and 22% judged the risk of bankruptcy to be quite or highly likely. Regression analyses showed that the more the self-employed reported impact on business indicators, increased work hours, a higher level of work-family conflict, and a lower level of mental well-being, the higher the risk of sickness presenteeism. The most common reasons given by the participants for sickness presenteeism during the pandemic were “nobody else can carry out my responsibilities,” “I can't afford to take sick leave” and “I enjoy my work.” Conclusions are that a critical event such as the pandemic probably adds to an already high workload for the self-employed. Impact on business operations such as developing new products/services and marketing, risk of bankruptcy and increased work hours seems to be important factors for explaining sickness presenteeism among the self-employed. Theoretical contributions from the study suggest that critical events such as the Covid-19 pandemic should be considered as an important environmental factor when studying sickness presenteeism among self-employed.

“…The effects of the WFC and FCW on individual company-level results can be seen in family performance (Frone et al, 1997), in job stress and personal distress (Schjoedt, 2020;Frone et al, 1992), in satisfaction with life and company (Carlson, Kacmar & Williams, 2000) and dedication and performance at work (Li, Lu & Zhang, 2013;Witt & Carlson, 2006).…”

The crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has disproportionately affected women, placing them at the waves' center of unpaid work overload. Based on feminist and role theories, this qualitative study examines the motivations and experiences of women who decided to start a business during an overload period of family responsibilities and economic uncertainty caused by COVID-19 and the consequences of this action for the work-family interface. The results obtained that the woman's decision to undertake during the measures of social isolation caused a conflict of roles. Furthermore, it was possible to notice that, although these women make a great effort to balance all functions, the lack of family support and the cohabitation of professional and family tasks within the domestic environment can be perceived as a factor in the aggravation of a family-work conflict. This research enriches the understanding of the COVID 19 pandemic effects on women's work-family balance with entrepreneurial attitudes and behavior.
