20.500.12556/RUL-148049 "I want it all" exploring the relationship between entrepreneurs' satisfaction with work–life balance, well-being, flow and firm growth Drawing from the conservation of resources theory, we explore how two personal resources (satisfaction with work–life balance and experience of flow at work) contribute to two important outcomes in entrepreneurship: entrepreneurs’ subjective well-being and firm growth. Although previous research has emphasized the importance of personal factors for firm growth and explored a variety of factors affecting entrepreneurs’ subjective well-being, little attention has been paid to the role of satisfaction with work-life balance as a critical personal resource for entrepreneurs. With this study, we find that entrepreneurs' satisfaction with work-life balance is positively associated with subjective well-being, which, in turn, mediates the relationship between satisfaction with work-life balance and firm growth. Our study also shows that experiencing flow at work accentuates the relationship between satisfaction with work-life balance and subjective well-being. Based on our findings, we offer implications for practicing entrepreneurs in terms of how to achieve higher levels of well-being and better firm growth. Specifically, we emphasize the benefits of achieving satisfaction with work-life balance, as this is important for an entrepreneur's subjective well-being and has an indirect impact on firm growth. Stakeholders in entrepreneurial ecosystems should embrace subjective well-being as an important indicator of firm outcomes alongside traditional economic measures. entrepreneurship leadership management satisfaction with work–life balance well-being flow at work firm growth podjetništvo vodenje management true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2023-07-26 12:52:49 2023-07-26 12:56:59 2024-03-06 03:45:32 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 799–826 iss. 3 Vol. 18 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 005.3 1863-6683 10.1007/s11846-023-00623-2 143881731 s11846-023-00623-2.pdf s11846-023-00623-2.pdf 1 07ECB8DCE51DBF4C39D86D652347281E cdc2b03a5d5cc7c88f896e447eebc4332dee86a7958797358202de0363a0dfd4 e70dd8b2-dac6-11ee-a8be-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=181438 https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s11846-023-00623-2 0 0816c9c9-2ba3-11ee-aeaf-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=171988 Ekonomska fakulteta 0 0 0
