ENTREPRENEURS IN MEXICO, AN APPROACH TO THEIR QUALITY OF LIFE

The objective of the research is to compare the levels of satisfaction between entrepreneurs and subordinates. For the study, data from the Self-Reported Welfare Survey (Biare) of 2014 are used. The work method is a statistical exploration of the data on entrepreneurs. The results suggest that there is no significant difference between the levels of job satisfaction of the two groups. A relevant finding is that entrepreneurs declare less satisfaction with life and with health than subordinates. This may be related to the fact that the owners of SMEs have high workloads with repercussions on their health. Among the limitations of the study is that the survey was prepared by INEGI and not by the researchers, given that it was not possible to incorporate some questions. The originality of the work lies in being a pioneer in the study of entrepreneurs about their subjective wellbeing.
