“…As a professional activity, entrepreneurial behavior is defined by unique job characteristics, and entrepreneurial activity can be emotionally draining (Stephan et al, 2022 ; Williamson et al, 2021 ). Entrepreneur activities relate to creating and discovering business opportunities, acquiring and managing resources, and making quick decisions in highly uncertain situations (Patzelt & Shepherd, 2011 ).…”

Entrepreneurs can exhibit the entrepreneurial burnout syndrome, which retards entrepreneur and firm performance. Building upon insights from the conservation of resources theory of stress response and psychology theory, this study examined the role of entrepreneur emotional demands as well as job autonomy and satisfaction resources with regard to entrepreneurial burnout. Multivariate regression analysis relating to 273 entrepreneurs in France revealed that emotional demands were positively associated with entrepreneurial burnout, while job autonomy and satisfaction were negatively associated with entrepreneurial burnout. Job autonomy buffered the negative effect of emotional demands on entrepreneurial burnout. However, job satisfaction did not buffer the negative effect of emotional demands on entrepreneurial burnout. Implications are discussed.

“…This study has also implications for policymakers who seek to encourage entrepreneurship in rural areas and understand what factors affect entrepreneurs’ well-being and persistence. Recent research suggests that policymakers can enhance both the number and well-being of start-ups leading them through strengthening the rule of law ( Stephan et al, 2022 ). The results confirm the view that entrepreneurial passion will be an important parameter in the well-being and persistence configuration.…”

“…They believe that an entrepreneur’s well-being has important consequences for business and entrepreneurs personally value their well-being. Therefore, researchers have investigated well-being as an entrepreneurial outcome and have focused on factors and mechanisms that can influence entrepreneurs’ mental health in recent years ( Stephan et al, 2022 ). Nonetheless, robust theories have not been well developed for studying the factors underpinning entrepreneurs’ well-being yet and there is not a full understanding of its antecedents and outcomes ( Shir et al, 2019 ; Lanivich et al, 2021 ).…”

Studies regarding rural entrepreneurs in developing countries and, specifically, their well-being have not been sufficiently developed in the literature. The present study was an attempt to fill this gap and to examine important antecedents and outcomes associated with entrepreneurial well-being among a sample of 102 Iranian rural entrepreneurs. This research established a theoretical research model that highlighted the relationships among job fit, entrepreneurial passion, well-being, and persistence. The results of structural equation modeling supported the hypothesized model. In particular, the results indicated that higher job fit was associated with higher levels of entrepreneurial well-being through an entrepreneurial passion mechanism. Moreover, the results supported the hypothesized serial mediating effect. In other words, a high level of job fit enhances entrepreneurial persistence through a high level of entrepreneurial passion and well-being. This study provides significant input to policymakers and practitioners in their efforts to promote the antecedents and outcomes of well-being among rural entrepreneurs.

“…The development-oriented compensation, that promotes employment through entrepreneurship, is the effective way to solve the long-term livelihood of land-lost farmers (Han et al, 2017;Bao et al, 2020). Individuals derive greater wellbeing from working for themselves or for someone else (La Guardia et al, 2000;Stephan et al, 2022). Entrepreneurship is a strategic approach to solve the problems of unemployment and counter the unemployment and employment discrimination (Mosher and Trubek, 2003).…”

China’s traditional suburban urbanization pattern of “passively being centralized upstairs” is not ideal, so China has been implementing human-centered new urbanization and urban–rural integration development strategy. Promoting employment through entrepreneurship is an effective way to solve the problem of long-term livelihood of land-lost farmers in China. There are few studies on entrepreneurship of land-lost farmers with the background of in situ urbanization in the suburbs. Based on the field survey data of two suburban villages representing the low–medium level of development in China, this study takes entrepreneurship of suburban youth as the research object and uses Logistic and Mlogit models to investigate the influences of psychological states of suburban youth on their entrepreneurship and the different entrepreneurial status during in situ urbanization pattern from three aspects. The results show that under in situ urbanization pattern, the psychological states of suburban youth have significant and steady influences on their entrepreneurial behaviors. Moreover, the satisfaction degree of land expropriation compensation has a partial mediation effect on suburban youth’s judgment of future life. There are different effects of the three psychological states on the two entrepreneurial states. Therefore, urban governments at all levels in China should choose the suburban urbanization pattern according to local conditions and time changes and realize sustainable entrepreneurship of suburban land-lost farmers during their becoming citizens with keeping nostalgia.
