Abstract: The present study proposes a theoretical framework to explain the resource constraints induced by the pandemic on entrepreneurs. This theoretical study has also advanced the role of the type of entrepreneur in dealing with such stressors of a pandemic using the Lerman et al. (2020) stress event theory (SET). This study is theoretical. It proposes a conceptual framework for the relationships between COVID-19-induced resource constraints and the entrepreneurial post-COVID-19 functioning with the underlying mechanism of entrepreneurial well-being. Following SET, this conceptual paper proposes that opportunity entrepreneurs would be able to cope with stressful events, which make the difference in his or her well-being, social relationships, and functioning compared to the necessity entrepreneur. However, the type of entrepreneur makes a difference in affected well-being and functioning. The authors have presented a theoretical model incorporating the predictors and outcomes of entrepreneurial well-being in times of the COVID-19 pandemic to suggest future research directions.
