Abstract
Political connections are considered as individual-level social network, but little is known about the associations between political connections and personal outcomes (e.g., well-being) and its underlying mechanisms. Utilizing a sample of Chinese rural entrepreneurs, we aim to examine how political connections can shape their cognitive evaluation of subjective well-being (life and job satisfaction) by taking into consideration of mediating effects of rent seeking and institutional trust. Multilevel analyses reveal that political connections are positively associated with life and job satisfaction. Rent seeking and institutional trust function as mediators explaining the associations. Our study bears important theoretical implications for institutional influences on entrepreneur well-being as well as inspires policy makers relative to entrepreneurship.
