- Abstract
Entrepreneurial well-being is the experience of satisfaction, emotional balance, psychological function and social function that entrepreneurs feel during the planning, establishment, growth and operation of a new venture. As for entrepreneurs, it is important to increase wealth by starting a business. However, without happiness in the long process of starting a business, it is hard for them to succeed. In recent years, entrepreneurial well-being has gradually attracted extensive attention of scholars. Entrepreneurial well-being has become the focus of entrepreneurial research and relevant studies have emerged. However, the research on entrepreneurial well-being involves a number of disciplines. The internal knowledge is vast and complex. Besides, researchers' disciplinary background and research objectives are diverse. Existing research on entrepreneurial well-being has problems such as unclear knowledge structure and insufficient extraction of core issues. In addition, existing review studies mostly adopt qualitative description and lack quantitative analysis using bibliometric methods. Thus, this paper takes 287 journal papers from the core database of Web of Science from 2006 to 2021 as research samples. Firstly, bibliometric software is used to conduct keyword co-occurrence, keyword emergence and cluster analysis. We sort out the discipline foundation, research objects and involved start-up stages in this field. Secondly, the knowledge framework is constructed based on three themes: the definition and theoretical basis of entrepreneurial well-being, the antecedent variables of entrepreneurial well-being, and the outcome variables of entrepreneurial well-being. Finally, the future research directions are pointed out from three aspects: theoretical perspective, research topic, measurement and research method. Compared with previous literature, this paper extends existing studies in the following three aspects. Firstly, quantitative analysis was carried out by using bibliometric software. At present, there are few review studies on entrepreneurial well-being. Existing studies are mainly based on qualitative description. However, this method has shortcomings such as strong subjectivity and one-sidedness. In order to obtain more comprehensive results, this paper uses CiteSpace bibliometrics software to summarize literature content. We combine qualitative analysis with quantitative analysis in order to put forward the knowledge structure of entrepreneurial well-being. Secondly, this study is conducted from the perspective of multi-discipline. Based on the systematic analysis of existing studies, this paper proposes that entrepreneurial well-being is a multidisciplinary study. On the basis of the review of entrepreneurial well-being in philosophy, psychology, sociology, economics, biology and other disciplines, this paper puts forward that future research could be conducted in collaboration with natural science, such as cognitive neuroscience and integrate thinking and knowledge structure of multiple disciplines. In addition, future research could promote multidisciplinary dialogue and joint research concerning entrepreneurial well-being. Thirdly, future research directions are proposed from three aspects: theoretical perspective, research topic, measurement and research method. Existing studies mainly focus on the description of the research status of entrepreneurial well-being. However, they ignore a systematic summary of current research deficiencies and future research prospects. In turn, this paper puts forward several research directions that can be further explored in the future. As for the theoretical perspective, future research can (1) expand multidisciplinary research, (2) explore strategies of enhancing entrepreneurial well-being, and (3) carry out research on entrepreneurial well-being based on the Chinese context. In terms of research topics, future research can (1) integrate the variables related to entrepreneurial cognition, (2) deepen the exploration of social well-being, (3) investigate the relationship between entrepreneurial well-being and entrepreneurial decision-making, and (4) explore the impact of negative emotions on entrepreneurial behavior. In terms of measurement and research method, future study can (1) use experience sampling method and qualitative comparative analysis method to carry out research, (2) integrate three dimensions of psychological well-being, subjective well-being and social well-being measurement standards to develop reliable and effective entrepreneurial well-being measurement methods based on specific entrepreneurial situations.
