    The latest BRQ – Business Research Quarterly (journal of the Spanish Academy of Management, ACEDE) features a Special Issue on Entrepreneurship & Well-Being. These papers push the frontier on how entrepreneurial life shapes (and is shaped by) mental health, identity, coping, and thriving. Here are the highlights-with authors-so you can dive straight in:
     
    • Building the evidence-base: Methodological advancement in research on entrepreneurship and well-being 

    Ana Pérez-Luño, Johan Wiklund, Ute Stephan, Daniel Lerner - https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/23409444251338294

    • Mompreneurship and resilience: Exploring entrepreneurship for mothers of children with additional needs

    This collection is methodologically rigorous, conceptually rich, and practically relevant-ideal for scholars, doctoral students, and practitioners interested in the human side of entrepreneurship. We encourage the community to have a look at the collection-and to build on them in future research.
