Purpose: Identifying what the recent literature reveals about the characteristics of resilient behavior manifested by self-employed entrepreneurs in contexts of uncertainty. Design/methodology/approach: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted based on the PRISMA-ScR protocol, using articles published between 2020 and 2025 from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. After applying filters, removing duplicates, and screening, 49 studies were qualitatively analyzed and organized into thematic clusters using Vosviewer software. Findings: Four dimensions of resilient behavior were identified: (1) intrapersonal resilience, related to emotions, attitudes, and beliefs; (2) strategies and proactiveness, associated with anticipating action and innovation; (3) coping with extreme adversities, such as the COVID-19 pandemic; and (4) connections, involving support networks and the use of technologies. The most recurrent characteristics include selfcontrol, persistence, adaptability, positive attitude, faith, optimism, and seeking support, manifested in a combined and contextual manner. Research limitations/implications: Scarcity of studies dedicated exclusively to self-employed entrepreneurs, suggesting the need for further qualitative research. Practical implications: The findings can guide public policies and training programs that, in addition to technical skills, also foster socio-emotional and adaptive abilities. Social implications: By highlighting the importance of resilience, the study contributes to initiatives that support the sustainability of self-employed businesses, strengthening their economic and social role. Originality/value: Systematizes recent evidence on entrepreneurial resilience, detailing dimensions and strategies, and emphasizing the relevance of emotional and contextual aspects for survival and growth in uncertain environments.

Objetivo: Identificar o que a literatura recente revela sobre as características do comportamento resiliente manifestadas por empreendedores que atuam por conta própria em contextos de incerteza. Desenho/metodologia/abordagem: Realizou-se uma Revisão Sistemática da Literatura (RSL) com base no protocolo PRISMA-ScR, a partir de artigos publicados entre 2020 e 2025 nas bases Scopus e Web of Science. Após filtros, remoção de duplicatas e triagem, 49 estudos foram analisados qualitativamente e organizados em clusters temáticos no software Vosviewer. Resultados: Identificaram-se quatro dimensões do comportamento resiliente: (1) resiliência intrapessoal, ligada a emoções, atitudes e crenças; (2) estratégias e pró-atividade, associadas à ação antecipada e inovação; (3) enfrentamento de adversidades extremas, como a pandemia de COVID-19; e (4) conexões, envolvendo redes de apoio e uso de tecnologias. As características mais recorrentes incluem autocontrole, persistência, adaptabilidade, atitude positiva, fé, otimismo e busca por apoio, manifestando-se de forma combinada e contextual. Limitações/implicações da pesquisa: Escassez de estudos dedicados exclusivamente a empreendedores por conta própria, sugerindo necessidade de aprofundamento qualitativo. Implicações práticas: Os achados podem orientar políticas públicas e programas de capacitação que contemplem, além de competências técnicas, habilidades socioemocionais e adaptativas. Implicações sociais: Ao evidenciar a importância da resiliência, o estudo contribui para ações que sustentem negócios autônomos, fortalecendo seu papel econômico e social. Originalidade/valor: Sistematiza evidências recentes sobre resiliência empreendedora, detalhando dimensões e estratégias, e destacando a relevância de aspectos emocionais e contextuais para sobrevivência e crescimento em ambientes incertos.
