Evolutionary Mechanism of Entrepreneurs'Well-being:Longitudinal Single-case Study Based on Self-organization Theory
Research on the relationship between entrepreneurship and well-being is mainly based on a static perspective,where the well-being of entrepreneurs at a certain point in time is used to represent their well-being throughout the entire entrepreneurial process.This has resulted in an insufficient exploration of the dynamic aspects of an entrepreneur's well-being,which is a significant reason for the lack of consensus on the relationship between entrepreneurship and well-being.In order to better explore this relationship,this study is based on the self-organization theory and utilizes an exploratory longitudinal single-case analysis approach to explore the changes of entrepreneurs'well-being during the entrepreneurial process.Based on self-organization theory,this research addresses the core question of"how does entrepreneurs'psychological well-being change in the different stages of entrepreneurship".This research not only delves into the dynamic mechanisms of entrepreneur's psychological well-being in various entrepreneurial stages but also uncovers the self-organizing process of entrepreneurship.The research findings indicate that entrepreneurs engage in different entrepreneurial activities based on their goals in the different stages of entrepreneurship,which leads to changes in their experience of psychological well-being.Furthermore,this research suggests that an entrepreneur's psychological well-being serves as an important feedback signal for their persistence in entrepreneurship.The conclusions of this research inspire entrepreneurs to clearly identify the stages they are in during their entrepreneurial journey,engage in relevant entrepreneurial activities based on the goals specific to the stages,and thus achieve well-being through entrepreneurship.
