Abstract

PurposeSelf-employment is considered one of the responses to precarious employment, particularly among those who lost jobs during an economic crisis. Although starting a new business is widely available, operating new ventures remains challenging. This article aims to explore the premises of self-employment success, namely self-employment intention and proactive coping as crucial predictors of further performance.Design/methodology/approachThe authors recruited participants among initially unemployed individuals who participated in the entrepreneurial program aimed at creating self-employment. Since entrepreneurs are expected to have specific personal characteristics important for performance, the authors assessed proactive coping as the key factor for self-employment intention.FindingsThe results depicted proactive coping as crucial in performing own ventures in the long run, which suggests that self-employment intention may change over time.Practical implicationsProactive coping is particularly appropriate for self-employed at any stage of the entrepreneurial process because it maintains the intention to perform own business. Thus, the findings underline the need for proactive coping training for entrepreneurs, particularly those previously unemployed.Originality/valueAs the self-employment intention may differ in time, the importance of being proactive in operating small businesses increases.

管理有效的劳动力市场进入:波兰小企业主的积极应对和自营职业意向
目的自营职业被认为是对不稳定就业的回应之一,尤其是在那些在经济危机中失去工作的人中。尽管开办新企业的可能性很大,但经营新企业仍然具有挑战性。本文旨在探讨自营职业成功的前提,即自营职业意向和积极应对是进一步表现的关键预测因素。设计/方法论/方法作者在最初失业的个人中招募参与者,这些人参加了旨在创造自营职业的创业计划。由于企业家被期望具有对业绩重要的特定个人特征,作者将积极应对评估为自主创业意向的关键因素。研究结果表明,从长远来看,积极应对对自主创业至关重要,这表明自营职业意向可能会随着时间的推移而改变。实际含义主动应对在创业过程的任何阶段都特别适合自营职业者,因为它保持了经营自己企业的意图。因此,研究结果强调了对企业家,特别是以前失业的企业家进行积极应对培训的必要性。独创性/价值随着个体经营意愿的不同,积极经营小企业的重要性也会增加。
