“…Emotional exhaustion is generally seen as close indicator of traditional stress reactions and has been related to both job stressors and to negative work and health outcomes (Lee and Ashforth 1990;Demerouti et al 2001). Recent works have suggested that burnout is a significant concern for entrepreneurs (Wincent & Örtqvist 2009b;Wincent et al 2008;Fernet et al 2016;C. D. Shepherd et al 2010).…”

“…This is likely to activate inhibition, which means that these individuals are less likely to feel the positive feelings of passion while being attentive to threats and more exposed to constraints. In the entrepreneurship setting, work-family conflicts have been reported as detrimental to the entrepreneurial experience and positive perceptions of necessary risks in venturing (Wincent and Örtqvist, 2009). The entrepreneurs who spend more time on the business are likely to experience greater resource loss and perceive that demands are exceeding the resources.…”

Purpose -Investigate motives behind individuals' choice to have parallel businessemployment careers (hybrid entrepreneurship) with a particular focus on passion (i.e., to work with something one is passionate about) as the main motive. Design/methodology/approach -A survey was administered to 262 Swedish hybrid entrepreneurs. Hypotheses proposed associations of the individual's age at business start-up and weekly hours spent on the business with passion as the main motive for the hybrid form. Logistic regression was used to test the hypotheses. Findings -The results indicated that (1) the ability to work with something one is passionate about is the top motive for combining employment with a side business; (2) passion is more likely to be the main motive behind the hybrid form among individuals who are older at business start-up; (3) passion is less likely to be the main motive behind the hybrid form among individuals who spend more time on the business. Research limitations/implications -The study focuses on passion as motive for hybrid entrepreneurship, and in doing so, it does not test the extent to which hybrid entrepreneurs experience passion. Practical implications -The results support the popular notion that passion drives people to have parallel business-employment careers. Findings indicating that passion as a motive is more common among those who are older at start-up and less common among those who spend more time on the business suggest the importance of acknowledging hybrid entrepreneurs' various profiles when approaching them in research and practice. Originality/value -This is the first study on motives behind hybrid entrepreneurship.

“…Moreover, women may perceive disadvantages in the self-employment option (ie. pregnancy and maternity leave, role stress) in comparison with being an employee (Rouse 2005;Wincent and Ortqvist 2008). Another reason might be the fact that women have fewer female role models (Stewart et al 1998).…”

Entrepreneurial intention: the role of gender

2009

There is general agreement in previous research, drawing on the Theory of Planned Behaviour, that attitudes towards entrepreneurship are determining factors on entrepreneurial intention and gender also seems to play a key role. This study supports the core entrepreneurial intention model and focuses on the role of gender in this process, showing that men are more likely to think about creating a firm than being determined to do it. However, of those men, the ones who perceive higher congruence between masculine and entrepreneurial attributes are more likely to have a firm entrepreneurial intention. Also, both men and women with a firm entrepreneurial intention perceive successful entrepreneurs to have feminine attributes. This, together with the characteristics of the sample, may explain the lack of a gender difference in entrepreneurial intention.
