Job burnout and work engagement in entrepreneurs: How the psychological utility of entrepreneurship drives healthy engagement
整合工作要求-资源理论与恢复视角，提出心理效用框架，利用四波面板数据（348名企业家和1002名员工）验证创业如何通过个人能动性产生心理效用，维持健康的工作投入并避免倦怠。
What is the real value of entrepreneurship? We propose a framework of psychological utility by integrating Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) theory with a recovery approach from a personal agency perspective. We hypothesize that personal agency together with the positive JD-R pattern of entrepreneurship generates outstanding psychological utility, which maintains and rewards a healthy, strong work engagement that spills over to off-work time. This benefits entrepreneurs, but also their businesses reliant on strong work engagement that avoids burnout. We validate our framework by means of panel data comprising four waves (348 entrepreneurs and 1002 employees), where we also analyze different types of entrepreneurs.
