Mental health and entrepreneurship: A bibliometric study and literature review

Abstract

Nowadays we can find a lot of studies on entrepreneurship which give more emphasis to the field’s health-related issues. On the other side, it is unknown how far an entrepreneur’s mental health is impacted by their environment. In this article, we intend to contribute to existing literature by emphasizing the relationships between mental health and business. Our result is achieved by employing a two-step research methodology: 1) We use bibliometric approaches to analyze contributions to business and economics research and provide a comprehensive mental health discussion in entrepreneurship and business environment in general by looking at the most significant foundation papers. 2) To back up these conclusions, a content analysis of the most relevant academic papers was carried out utilizing a broader database, describing the correlation between the studies of mental health and entrepreneurship at the individual and organizational levels.
