Despite the marital status of most entrepreneurs, our understanding of spousal influence on entrepreneurship remains limited. We conducted qualitative analysis on 18 spouse-entrepreneur pairs to explore the interactive nature and evolution of venture-related roles within couples.

This extends existing literature on venturing roles, highlighting the significant impact of spouses in entrepreneurship.

The study highlights the potential adverse effects of action-oriented entrepreneurship training programs on trainees' entrepreneurial self-efficacy. The researchers suggest that error mastery orientation determines how trainees respond to complex problems during the program. Trainees with high error mastery orientation are less likely to experience decreases in self-efficacy when facing problems, while those with low error mastery orientation are more vulnerable. Understanding these self-regulatory factors can provide insights into how to mitigate the adverse effects of such training programs.

The model presented in the paper serves as an initial step towards understanding culture creation in new ventures, hoping to inspire further research on the topic.

The study reveals that despite high work engagement and low recovery levels, entrepreneurs avoid burnout and accumulate positive psychological outcomes by investing in more work engagement in a positive environment.
