Abstract

This study explores the relationship between the identification as an entrepreneur and opinions on working from home, utilizing data from platform X, formerly Twitter. The results indicate significant correlations between being an entrepreneur and a lower probability of expressing negative opinions on working from home. Furthermore, a positive association is documented between this identification and activity metrics on the platform, such as followers, followings, retweets, and favorites. In terms of sentiment analysis, being an entrepreneur shows significant and positive correlations with the probability of being classified as positive. The interaction between this condition and male gender exhibits a negative and significant correlation in the probability of being classified as positive, indicating potential variation based on gender. These findings highlight differences in attitudes toward working from home in various work contexts, offering relevant insights into perspectives in the workplace and decision-making in the business environment.
