Abstract

Rapid technological innovation, digitalization, and automation are reshaping how work is performed and understood, raising important questions about well-being in the future of work. Such concerns are especially relevant in entrepreneurial contexts, which are marked by high autonomy, uncertainty, and responsibility for shaping one’s own work conditions. This Special Issue brings together research that advances understanding of entrepreneurial well-being against the backdrop of the changing nature of work. The six articles included in the Special Issue investigate diverse mechanisms and settings through which changes in technology, work design, and social and organizational environments shape entrepreneurs’ experiences, resources, and outcomes related to well-being. We synthesize their contributions and outline promising directions for future research to advance scholarship on entrepreneurial well-being in the changing world of work.
