Studies regarding rural entrepreneurs in developing countries and, specifically, their well-being have not been sufficiently developed in the literature. The present study was an attempt to fill this gap and to examine important antecedents and outcomes associated with entrepreneurial well-being among a sample of 102 Iranian rural entrepreneurs. This research established a theoretical research model that highlighted the relationships among job fit, entrepreneurial passion, well-being, and persistence. The results of structural equation modeling supported the hypothesized model. In particular, the results indicated that higher job fit was associated with higher levels of entrepreneurial well-being through an entrepreneurial passion mechanism. Moreover, the results supported the hypothesized serial mediating effect. In other words, a high level of job fit enhances entrepreneurial persistence through a high level of entrepreneurial passion and well-being. This study provides significant input to policymakers and practitioners in their efforts to promote the antecedents and outcomes of well-being among rural entrepreneurs.
关于发展中国家农村企业家，特别是他们的幸福感的研究在文献中尚未得到充分发展。本研究试图填补这一空白，并在102名伊朗农村企业家样本中考察与创业幸福感相关的重要前因和结果。本研究建立了一个理论研究模型，突出了工作契合度、创业激情、幸福感和坚持性之间的关系。结构方程模型的结果支持了假设模型。具体而言，结果表明，更高的工作契合度通过创业激情机制与更高水平的创业幸福感相关联。此外，结果支持了假设的系列中介效应。换句话说，高水平的工作契合度通过高水平的创业激情和幸福感增强创业坚持性。本研究为政策制定者和从业者在促进农村企业家幸福感的前因和结果方面的努力提供了重要参考。
