Résumé
La pandémie de Covid-19 a eu des conséquences sans précédent sur les PME, déclenchant le lancement d’une gamme de programmes gouvernementaux divers, incluant une assistance financière, des subventions salariales et des reports de paiement. Or, en plus d’affecter les opérations et la survie des entreprises, les fortes turbulences et l’incertitude quant à l’avenir sont à même d’affecter le stress vécu par les entrepreneurs et par conséquent la qualité de leur sommeil, leur bien-être ainsi que leur résilience. Les soutiens gouvernementaux ont-ils un effet positif sur ces indicateurs de la santé psychologique des entrepreneurs ? Pour répondre à cette question, nous avons réalisé une enquête auprès de 636 entrepreneurs canadiens, tous secteurs confondus, entre les mois de juin et juillet 2020. Les résultats permettent d’appuyer l’idée selon laquelle les mesures, en réduisant les effets négatifs de la crise sur la PME, pouvaient avoir un effet positif sur la santé des entrepreneurs. Par cette étude, nous contribuons à comprendre la dynamique des interventions gouvernementales auprès des PME et, en particulier, ses effets sur des indicateurs relatifs à la santé psychologique des entrepreneurs tels que le sommeil, le bien-être et la rétention dans cette carrière.

Abstract
The Covid-19 pandemic has had an unprecedented impact on SMEs, triggering the launch of a variety of government programs, including financial assistance, wage subsidies and payment deferrals. In addition to affecting business operations and survival, the severe turbulence and uncertainty about the future can affect the stress experienced by entrepreneurs and consequently the quality of their sleep, their well-being and their resilience. Do government supports have a positive effect on these indicators of entrepreneurs’ psychological health? To answer this question, we conducted a survey of 636 Canadian entrepreneurs accross all sectors between June and July 2020. The results support the idea that the measures, by reducing the negative effects of the crisis on SMEs, could have a positive effect on the health of entrepreneurs. Through this study, we contribute to understanding the dynamics of government interventions with SMEs and, in particular, its effects on indicators related to the psychological health of entrepreneurs such as sleep, well-being and retention in this career.

Resumen
La pandemia de Covid-19 ha tenido un impacto sin precedentes en las PyME, lo que ha desencadenado la puesta en marcha de diversos programas gubernamentales, como ayudas financieras, subvenciones salariales y aplazamientos de pagos. Además de afectar a las operaciones empresariales y a la supervivencia, las fuertes turbulencias y la incertidumbre sobre el futuro pueden afectar al estrés que experimentan los empresarios y, en consecuencia, a la calidad de su sueño, su bienestar y su capacidad de recuperación. ¿Tienen las ayudas públicas un efecto positivo sobre estos indicadores de la salud psicológica de los empresarios? Para responder a esta pregunta, realizamos una encuesta a 636 empresarios canadienses de todos los sectores entre junio y julio de 2020. Los resultados apoyan la idea de que las medidas, al reducir los efectos negativos de la crisis en las PyME, podrían tener un efecto positivo en la salud de los empresarios. A través de este estudio, contribuimos a comprender la dinámica de las intervenciones gubernamentales con las PyME y, en particular, sus efectos sobre los indicadores relacionados con la salud psicológica de los empresarios, como el sueño, el bienestar y la retención en esta carrera.
