“…However, relational resources do not have a direct impact on ECC, highlighting the mediating effect through emotional exhaustion and stress. This is also what previous research has found with cross-sectional data (Sardeshmukh et al ., 2021; St-Jean et al ., 2022a; Tetrick et al ., 2000) and is consistent with the SSO model (Koeske and Koeske, 1993). This process was confirmed over time with two-wave (four-month interval) longitudinal data.…”

“…It should be pointed out that in the context of the pandemic, entrepreneurs are potentially aware that the increase in workload is temporary (i.e. to adjust to public health requirements) and they may be more willing to deal with it without impacting their psychological health (St-Jean et al ., 2022a, b). Furthermore, an increased workload may not necessarily be a burden that would be likely to generate stress and strains (Edwards et al ., 2014; LePine et al ., 2004).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate how a career shock, like the COVID 19 pandemic, decreases entrepreneurial career commitment (ECC). The authors look at the specific effect of career shock on stress and emotional exhaustion mediating the commitment, and how organizational and relational resources offset the shock to keep the entrepreneurs committed to their career.Design/methodology/approachThis study used a two-wave sample of 365 entrepreneurs collected four months apart. The authors initially recruited entrepreneurs three months after the pandemic started, then four months later, and tested these ideas with longitudinal data. The design was informed by the stress-strain-outcome (SSO) model to investigate career shock as stressors to entrepreneurs that are likely to produce emotional exhaustion and a decline in ECC.FindingsThe findings demonstrate that career shock affects stress, which in turn leads to a decline in commitment through the mediation effect of emotional exhaustion. Organizational resources (e.g. access to finance) do not impact ECC, stress or emotional exhaustion. However, relational resources (e.g. quality emotional support) are important for ECC by supporting a decrease in stress and emotional exhaustion.Research limitations/implicationsThis study makes three main contributions. Firstly, it advances career shock research in entrepreneurship, emphasizing its role in explaining entrepreneurial career commitment through stress-strain mediation. Secondly, it adds to the understanding of entrepreneurial career commitment and its impact on persistence in entrepreneurship and entrepreneurial exit. Lastly, it supports the relevance of the Stress-Strain-Outcome model in entrepreneurship, demonstrating how career shock can decrease entrepreneurial career commitment through stress and emotional exhaustion. Further research is needed to explore the interaction of career identity and career planning in maintaining career resilience amidst career shocks.Practical implicationsThis study has practical implications for policymakers and service providers in entrepreneurship. It highlights the significance of resources, particularly relational resources, in maintaining psychological health and entrepreneurial career commitment (ECC). The findings support the importance of the Stress-Strain-Outcome (SSO) model in entrepreneurship, emphasizing the need for entrepreneurs to have access to relational resources as coping mechanisms. Policymakers and service providers should focus on enhancing entrepreneurs' capacity to acquire, protect, and develop relational resources. Additionally, the study suggests that entrepreneurs should seek access to both relational and organizational resources to effectively navigate career shocks, such as the pandemic. Further research is needed to explore the role of other types of resources, such as social capital and psychological capital, in entrepreneurial well-being and persistence.Originality/valueThis study demonstrates that a career shock affects stress, which in turn leads to a decline in commitment only through the mediation effect of emotional exhaustion. The panel/longitudinal data analysis demonstrates the causality in the process, highlighting the positive role of the entrepreneur's relational resources. Specifically, it shows that an increase in access to relational resources causes a decrease in stress and emotional exhaustion, which in turn causes ECC to improve. Entrepreneurs are ill-equipped to face a career shock if they lack these resources.

“…Pollack et al, 2012), knowledge about the impact of organizational resources (e.g. access to financial resources) on stress and wellbeing and the moderating effect of stress on wellbeing is scarce despite a few recent contributions (Bhuiyan & Ivlevs, 2019;St-Jean et al, 2022). Although we know that entrepreneurs use resource-induced coping heuristic that help them maintaining access to different resources required to develop and survive (Lanivich, 2015;Lanivich et al, 2021), we specifically contribute in pointing out two types of resources particularly important to reduce stress and maintain wellbeing in times of important uncertainty.…”

The COVID-19 crisis has substantial consequences for entrepreneurs. Specifically, our model assumes that the task environment turbulence – changing employment rates within industries and geographic locations – forces entrepreneurs to adapt and change their work organization which, in turn, increases their stress and reduces their wellbeing. In building on the conservation of resource theory, we posit that resources will have a positive effect on stress and wellbeing, whereas coping strategies will have either positive or negative effects depending on the type of strategy used. We tested our model on a sample of 496 entrepreneurs. Our results demonstrate the strong effect of environmental turbulence on changes in work organization and, ultimately, the stress and wellbeing of entrepreneurs. Avoidance-oriented and task-oriented coping strategies are both important in reducing stress and improving wellbeing, while emotion-oriented coping has a negative impact on stress. Having access to relational resources reduces stress and improves wellbeing, and access to organizational resources reduces stress and positively moderates the negative effect of stress on wellbeing.

“…У дослідженні J. продемонстровано вплив статі на побудову професійних уявлень. Водночас, не менш важливим є вплив кар'єрних потрясінь на емоційне виснаження суб'єкта, яке є опосередковувачем зобов'язань у професійній діяльності (St-Jean et al, 2023). Звернемо увагу на сучасні дослідження, що створюють широке поле вивчення зв'язку емоцій із брендом у маркетинговій діяльності (Bhattacharya, Dalal, 2023), дослідження категорій негативних емоційних стимулів праці (Petiot et al, 2023), динаміку емоційних переживань та емоційних професійних стратегій на різних етапах кар'єри (Chen et al, 2020).…”

“…The impact of gender on professional representations demonstrated in the study by J. . In addition, the effect of career shocks on a subject's emotional exhaustion, which is a mediator of responsibilities in professional activity, is not less important (St-Jean et al, 2023). We should pay attention to the present studies which provide a broad field for investigating a correlation of emotions with a brand in marketing activity (Bhattacharya, Dalal, 2023), for examining categories of negative emotions as stimuli for work (Petiot et al, 2023), the dynamics of emotional experiences and emotional professional strategies at different career stages (Chen et al, 2020).…”

Метою дослідження є виявлення домінантних цінностей в уявленнях студентів про професійний успіх; встановлення зв’язків між емоціями радості, гніву і страхуз цінностями професійного успіху студентів з України.Методи: опитування за допомогою методики “Визначення життєвих цінностей особистості” або “Must-тест” (Иванов, Колобова, 1992); методика дослідженняемоційно-особистісних особливостей (Ольшанникова,Рабинович, 1974) – з’ясовано рівень схильностей допереживання людиною трьох базових емоцій: страху,гніву й радості. Отримані дані проаналізовано, використовуючи описову статистику і кореляцію Пірсона.Результати виявили, що домінуючими цінностямив уявленнях студентів є гідність (19.84%), особистісний розвиток (14.51%) та турбота про інших (8.21%). Підтверджено наявність достовірного позитивногозв’язку між емоціями гніву та страху з виокремленимиціннісними категоріями: гідність, турбота про інших,безпека і матеріальне забезпечення. З’ясовано, що всікатегорії цінностей студентів мають також статистично достовірний зв’язок, за виключенням категоріївизнання, де не спостерігається жодного достовірногозв’язку з іншими цінностями респондентів. Констатовано, що категорія гідності позитивно пов’язаназ турботою про інших, яка є єдиною категорією, щомає суттєвий зв’язок з категорію тема війни. Встановлено негативний достовірний зв’язок між емоцієюрадості та ціннісною категорією визнання. Дискусіяі висновки. Доведено, що домінантними цінностямив уявленнях студентів про професійний успіх є: гідність, особистісний розвиток та турбота про інших.Зʼясовано, що категорія визнання становить найнижчий показник 1.16% в уявленнях студентів про професійний успіх. Обґрунтовано статистично достовірнізв’язки між емоціями гніву, страху та радості з ціннісними категоріями уявлень.
