This research focuses on the influence of COVID-19 on entrepreneurs' psychological well-being (PWB) in China. A start-up's performance is believed to play an important moderating role. This study uses 2 years of tracking data of 303 entrepreneurs from Shandong Providence, China. Based on conservation of resources (COR) theory, this study found that COVID-19 will significantly decrease entrepreneurs' PWB. A start-up's past performance will enhance the negative influence of COVID-19 on entrepreneurs' PWB. This study contributes to the literature on entrepreneurship, COR, and PWB. The findings can also guide entrepreneurs to maintain well-being during the pandemic and post-pandemic era.

“…Finally, in an effort to better understand political ideology's influence on firm behavior, researchers have suggested separating out social ideologies from economic ideologies (Chin, Zhang, Afshar Jahanshahi, & Nadkarni, 2021). For example, Chin et al (2021) find that social conservatism will increase corporate entrepreneurship while economic conservatism negatively influences corporate entrepreneurship by impairing decision-making.…”

Given that the CEO and the firm are virtually indistinguishable in the public mind, political contributions by CEOs should be viewed as more than an individual expressing his or her political sympathies.…”

In this review, we provide a framework for understanding both the predictors and approaches of CPA that firms undertake to achieve their objectives. We identify the predictors of CPA and classify them into two distinct categories: internal and external. In addition, we suggest that CPA approaches will vary depending on the firm’s goal to either manage or mitigate regulation and legislation as compared to attempting to pass new bills into law. We conclude by suggesting several future CPA research directions for management scholars.

“…This conceptualization of political ideology as two-dimensional (social and financial) aligns with recent research in management. Chin et al (2021) were the first in the management literature to empirically distinguish between social and financial/economic political ideology of CEOs, showing a positive link between CEO social conservatism and corporate entrepreneurship but a negative relationship between CEO economic conservatism and corporate entrepreneurship in the context of Iran. Given the multidimensionality of CEOs' political ideology, this paper suggests that the financial dimension will dictate the extent to which an organization offers work-family policies that exceed what is legislatively mandated while the social dimension will be reflected in the inclusiveness of such policies (Figure 2).…”

PurposeAcknowledging the importance of work–family practices that extend beyond what is legally mandated and that cover the needs of a diverse workforce, this paper offers a conceptual model that explores the factors that can influence the provision and inclusiveness of work–family policies in organizations.Design/methodology/approachThe conceptual model is based on a thorough literature review of relevant articles in the fields of management and political science.FindingsIn line with the upper echelons perspective, chief executive officers’ (CEOs') political ideology is a multidimensional concept, comprising two main dimensions (financial and social) that can influence the provision and inclusiveness of work–family practices. Moreover, the proposed conceptual model considers other important factors, such as the centrality of the CEO's political ideology, as potential moderating factors, as well as the conditional role of institutional pressures. Finally, the proposed model takes into account the important role of line managers/supervisors in the implementation of work–family policies and shows the importance of the provision and inclusiveness of work–family practices for critical organizational outcomes (organizational attraction and turnover).Originality/valueThe proposed conceptual model offers a more in-depth understanding of the factors that influence the provision and inclusiveness of work–family policies.
