Exploring the factors influencing the well-being and health of Moroccan SME managers

Résumé

SMEs are essential to the economy, particularly in emerging countries like Morocco. Their managers face many obstacles that impact their health. These difficulties include managing various tasks, maintaining competitiveness, and lacking financing and bureaucracy. Our study analyzes the stress factors affecting the health of Moroccan SME managers and their impact on business performance. We propose solutions based on previous studies to mitigate these risks and ensure the long-term viability of companies. Our methodological approach is based on in-depth analysis of academic articles from recognized databases such as Scopus and Google Scholar. We identify the main stressors and suggest effective measures to improve executives' well-being and strengthen the resilience of their companies. Our findings reveal that these executives are under significant stress due to work overload, multiple responsibilities and financial pressures. To remedy this, we offer personalized support, stress management training, and occupational health seminars. This study aims to improve the quality of life of SME managers and optimize the performance of their companies.
