Abstract

Poduzetništvo, inovacije i ekonomski razvoj se nalaze u neraskidivom odnosu unutar kojeg se nalazi poduzetnik. U toj poziciji, poduzetnik kao inovator i vizionar s karakterom vođe mora započeti putovanje puno izazova te osobnog i profesionalnog sazrijevanja. Sukladno tomu je cilj istraživanja dobiti uvid u iskustvo rada iz perspektive osnivača/CEO-a startupa. Kvalitativno istraživanje je provedeno metodom polustrukturiranog intervjua s 11 osnivača/CEO-a startupa iz Europe koji su odabrani metodom snježne grude. Rezultati na dva istraživačka pitanja su kreirali cjelokupnu sliku rada unutar startup okruženja gdje sudionici istraživanja pozitivne i negativne profesionalne izazove ističu unutar šest različitih područja: uvjeti rada, djelokrug rada, upravljanje, odnosi sa suradnicima, sudjelovanje u akceleratorskom ili inkubatorskom programu te individualne karakteristike. Drugo istraživačko pitanje ovog rada je usmjereno na traženje odgovora o postojanju psihosocijalnih rizika u radu osnivača/CEO-a startupa, a oni su identificirani unutar četiri različita područja: zdravstveni problemi, poteškoće u balansiranju privatnog i profesionalnog života, psihološke posljedice te izvori profesionalnog stresa.

Abstract (english)

Entrepreneurship, innovation and economic development are in an inexplicable relationship within which an entrepreneur is located. In this position, an entrepreneur as an innovator and visionary with the character of a leader must embark on the journey of many challenges of personal and professional development. Accordingly, the aim of the research is to gain insight into the work experience from the perspective of the founder/CEO of the startup. Qualitative research was conducted by a semi-structured interview with 11 founders/CEOs from Europe who were selected by the snowdrop method. The results of two research questions have created a complete picture of the work within the startup environment
where the participants of the study of positive and negative professional challenges stand out in six different areas: working conditions, scope of work, management, relationships with associates, participation in the accelerator or incubator program and individual characteristics. Second research question of this paper is to seek answers to the existence of psychosocial risks in the work of the founder/CEO of startup and they are identified within four different areas: health problems, difficulties in balancing private and professional life, psychological consequences, and sources of professional stress.
