Mental health of entrepreneurs and daily recovery experiences
We analyze the relationships between daily recovery experiences after work (detachment, relaxation, mastery and control) and mental health (well-being and burnout) based on four surveys among French entrepreneurs (small business owners). First , comparing our results with those of previous studies on employees’ recovery experiences, we find that French entrepreneurs have fewer recovery experiences for all four dimensions. Second , we find that ex…
‘Easy Language’ for migrants in France: Looking for linguistic criteria
One of the target groups of Easy Language, a comprehensibility enhanced variety of a natural language, are migrants who have difficulties with the standard language of the host country. However, regarding French Easy Language, evidence-based linguistic criteria are lacking. Therefore, the present study aims at elaborating suitable linguistic criteria for French Easy Language intended for low-literate migrants. We asked 87 migrants in France to re…
Factors of Influence on Purchasing Behavior, A Model with Latent Variables
The present study analyzes the factors that influence consumer purchasing behavior in shopping centers in five intermediate cities in Colombia (Cúcuta, Montería, Pasto, Tunja, and Villavicencio). A structural equation model based on partial least squares (PLS-PM) was utilized to assess the interaction among sociocultural, psychological, and marketing factors in regard to purchasing behavior. The data presented herein were collected through the im…
Face mask use during the Covid-19 pandemic: How risk perception, experience with Covid-19, and attitude towards government interact with country-wide policy stringency
We highlight that those countries that aim for widespread use of face masks should set strict measures, stress self-related risks of COVID-19, and use clear communication
Risk of burnout in French entrepreneurs during the Covid-19 crisis
The risk of burnout in French entrepreneurs has increased significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, which calls for not only financial support but also other forms of support. The COVID-19 pandemic presents many threats for entrepreneurs since their business survival is often directly at stake. These threats are not just financial but also related to health, such as the threat of burnout. The findings of our study show that for French entrepren…
Attention‐Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder Symptoms and Entrepreneurial Orientation: A Replication Note
There is a small body of literature linking attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and its symptoms to entrepreneurial manifestations. Some studies take a subclinical perspective by studying the presence of symptoms, while other studies take a clinical perspective by studying the formal diagnosis of ADHD. The entrepreneurial manifestations examined range from entrepreneurial intention to the choice to become self‐employed and from entrep…
Small business owners and health
The present article identifies a societal and scholarly neglect for the field of small business ownership and health. We address health capital and its spillover effects and briefly outline a research program discriminating between pathogenic (negative for health) and salutogenic (positive for health) effects for a small business owner’s working life
The cost of injustice: Overall justice, emotional exhaustion, and performance among entrepreneurs: do founders fare better
La santé du dirigeant: De la souffrance patronale à l'entrepreneuriat salutaire
De l\'inaudible souffrance patronale... à l\'inavouable santé du dirigeant. Malgré plus de 20 millions d’entreprises en Europe, il y a plus de statistiques sur la santé des baleines bleues que sur celle des entrepreneurs. Cette lacune est universelle. Pourtant, lorsqu’un dirigeant connaît un ennui de santé, c’est immédiatement toute l’entreprise qui faiblit. Malgré plus de 20 millions d’entreprises en Europe, il y a plus de statistiques sur la sa…
Creativity, self-efficacy, and small-firm performance: The mediating role of entrepreneurial orientation
The Wine Wars
This work describes California-based wine producer Robert Mondavi's failure to set up business in a small, world-renowned wine-producing village in southern France. The 'Mondavi affair' illustrates th
Things Hot Up
Although the wine-producing profession gradually came round to the project, there was still opposition from other quarters. The Mayor of Aniane’s communication errors were the start of a heterogeneous mobilization against the project, but also against the authorities in power. The presentation of the project provided the first motives for the ‘anti-Mondavi’ mobilization. The hunting community saw the project as a means of reducing their hunting g…
Les divers types d'entrepreneuriat et de PME dans le monde
Besides the North American liberal entrepreneurship that value innovation and magnifies the cult of the individual for reasons stemming from the ideology of free competition, three other types of entrepreneurship can be evoked which have theory roots in other regions of the world. These are the: 1. network entrepreneur, 2. the corporatist entreprenuer, and the 3. informal entrepreneur. The object of this article is to relativize the Anglo-Saxon i…
