Abstract

Entrepreneurs are known to persist in the face of difficulties (Gatewood, Shaver, & Gartner, 1995), stress and long hours are known to constitute the dark side associated with entrepreneurship (Kuratko & Hodgetts, 2007). It is clear that entrepreneurial activity is demanding, both in terms of working hours (Blanchflower, 2004; Shane, 2008) and in terms of psychological stress (Shane, 2008), and these impact the wellbeing and family lives of entrepreneurs. However, there is little research on how the demands of entrepreneurship affect the entrepreneurs wellbeing and their intentions to persist or exit from the entrepreneurial venture. Similarly, the research on Work Family Interface issues related to entrepreneurs (Jennings and Mcdougald, 2007) is very limited.
