dc.description.abstract | Stress is typically seen as a negative phenomenon. However, the positive side
of stress (i.e., eustress) has the potential to improve well-being, productivity, and
innovativeness, thus increasing individuals’ daily resources at work. Focusing on
eustress could enhance work engagement by turning some of the negatively perceived
stressors into positive challenges. We explored this possibility by interviewing 21 Finnish
entrepreneurs from various fields regarding their experiences of eustress. Nine of the
interviewed entrepreneurs also recorded a eustress diary. Based on thematic analysis of
the interview data, six main themes supporting eustress were identified: (a) Selfreflection
toward changing the mindset, (b) Organizing work, (c) Stimulating positive
pressure, (d) Harnessing a feeling of joy, (e) Mental preparation, and (f) Recovery. A
Web-based service, the Eustress Toolbox, was designed to support practicing eustress
skills related to the six main themes within the daily lives of the entrepreneurs. | en |
