Anxiety and Fear of Loss of Business during the Covid 19 Pandemic

Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between anxiety and fear of loss of business during the Covid 19 pandemic. To answer this question, we carried out research on different business owners (a total of 140 participants), through handing out questionnaires with questions relative to our research topic. And our results showed that there is a relationship between anxiety and fear of loss among business owners, and that the increase in fear of loss leads to anxiety. However, there are other sources of anxiety among business owners such as stress among other factors. From a safety perspective, this study emphasizes the need to take into account carrying out research in other businesses outside urban areas (where our research was based mostly), where this will help to observe the validity and reliability of the results.
