Nurturing Entrepreneurs’ Work–Family Balance: A Gendered Perspective
基于258名创业者的调查，发现女性通过家庭对工作的工具性增益、男性通过家庭工具性支持来获得工作家庭平衡满意度，支持了创业是性别化过程的观点。
A survey of 258 entrepreneurs examined how positive facets of their family experiences, family–to–business enrichment, and support, nurture their satisfaction with work–family balance. Satisfaction with work–family balance was nurtured by instrumental family–to–business enrichment to the advantage of women as a group and by instrumental support from the family at home to the advantage of men as a group. Overall, results supported feminist theories that depict entrepreneurship as a gendered process. Female entrepreneurs tend to nurture satisfaction with work–family balance by creating work–family synergies, whereas male entrepreneurs tend to nurture satisfaction with work–family balance by obtaining family support at home.
