• Resumen

  • For understandable reasons, hitherto most published research on entrepreneurship and well-being has prioritized interesting research questions and the development of theory aimed at understanding the unique well-being challenges in entrepreneurship. With this special issue and editorial, we seek to initiate a conversation on how to enhance the methodological rigor in this area of research to build a more robust and reliable evidence base. We consider why methodologically robust research is needed and the methodological challenges of conducting such research in entrepreneurship in general and on entrepreneurs’ well-being in particular. We also introduce the papers included in this special issue and outline avenues for future research on entrepreneurship and well-being that is methodologically robust while advancing our understanding of entrepreneurs’ well-being in new ways.
