When the tank is empty: Reviewing burnout in entrepreneurship
系统综述了47篇创业倦怠文献（1992-2023），提出一个综合框架来阐明倦怠的前因、后果和缓解策略，并给出了创业倦怠的明确定义，帮助创业者、组织和政策制定者应对这一日益严重的问题。
Entrepreneurial burnout, a psychological syndrome resulting from chronic stressors, is a growing issue with significant implications for individual well-being and economic outcomes. While entrepreneurship is widely celebrated for fostering innovation and personal fulfillment, its psychological costs remain underexplored. This study systematically reviews 47 articles (1992–2023) to examine entrepreneurial burnout across disciplines, frameworks, and methodologies. Key gaps identified include limited conceptual clarity, inconsistent measurement, and insufficient focus on entrepreneurs as a distinct group. Using a narrative synthesis, we propose a comprehensive framework to clarify burnout’s antecedents, consequences, and mitigation strategies, alongside a precise definition of entrepreneurial burnout, distinguishing it from stress and general well-being. Our findings advance entrepreneurship literature by addressing the rising interest in entrepreneurial well-being, providing practical insights for entrepreneurs, organizations, and policymakers to mitigate burnout and enhance sustainability. This work contributes to developing more supportive entrepreneurial ecosystems and a deeper understanding of well-being in entrepreneurship.
