Abstract

How can entrepreneurs protect their wellbeing during a crisis? Does engaging agility (namely, opportunity agility and planning agility) in response to adversity help entrepreneurs safeguard their wellbeing? Activated by adversity, agility may function as a specific resilience mechanism enabling positive adaption to crisis. We studied 3162 entrepreneurs from 20 countries during the COVID-19 pandemic and found that more severe national lockdowns enhanced firm-level adversity for entrepreneurs and diminished their wellbeing. Moreover, entrepreneurs who combined opportunity agility with planning agility experienced higher wellbeing but planning agility alone lowered wellbeing. Entrepreneur agility offers a new agentic perspective to research on entrepreneur wellbeing.

行动还是观望?COVID-19大流行期间各国的逆境、敏捷性和企业家福祉

企业家如何在危机中保护自己的健康?在逆境中运用敏捷性(即机遇敏捷性和规划敏捷性)是否有助于企业家维护自己的福祉?在逆境的激活下，敏捷性可以作为一种特定的弹性机制，使其能够积极适应危机。我们在COVID-19大流行期间研究了来自20个国家的3162名企业家，发现更严重的国家封锁加剧了企业家在公司层面的逆境，降低了他们的幸福感。此外，将机会敏捷性与计划敏捷性结合起来的企业家幸福感更高，而单独使用计划敏捷性会降低幸福感。企业家敏捷性为企业家幸福感研究提供了一个新的代理视角。
