Abstract

The health of small and medium-sized business leaders is often overlooked, particularly in Morocco. These individuals, who do not have a contract of employment, run their own companies. Their health can have a considerable impact on the performance of their business, even leading to bankruptcy. Chronic stress, lack of work-life balance, overwork and financial hardship all have a significant impact on their well-being. Technological innovation plays a key role in providing tools and solutions to improve the well-being and professional efficiency of these leaders. The main objective of this article is to present a literature review aimed at defining key concepts related to health and technological innovation, identifying the main stressors contributing to burnout, and to highlight technologies that can ensure the health of SME managers. As regards the research methodology, a literature review was carried out mainly by consulting the Scopus database, as well as by conducting word-searchKey to carefully select the most recently published scientific papers and publications with a view to exploring innovative technologies that significantly contribute to improving the health of SME managers and the performance of their companies. The results from our literature review highlight several innovative technologies used to promote the health of self-employed workers while ensuring the sustainability of their businesses. These technologies include cognitive therapy, psychoeducation, WISE (Work Improvement in Small Enterprises), the Total Worker Health (TWH) programme, and teleworking and hybrid work facilitated by technological advances. Amork has also developed other projects such as the Amarok e-Health tool, an online questionnaire for managers to assess their health status, as well as psychological support for managers and the organization of seminars and conferences on occupational health.
