Successful Female Corporate Managers and Entrepreneurs
比较了企业管理和创业环境中成功女性的个性、性别角色和人口统计特征,发现管理者更信任他人且控制需求较低,而创业者更倾向于定义自己的工作环境。
Research was conducted comparing personality, sex role, and demographic profiles with data from in-depth interviews of successful professional women in entrepreneurial and corporate work settings. Results demonstrate significant differences on measures of trust and level of control, with managers scoring as more trusting and requiring lower levels of control than entrepreneurs, who seek to define their own work environments and parameters. Although managers view corporate environments as safe and supportive, entrepreneurs consider them confining. The thrust of this exploratory study is unique in that it compares and contrasts characteristics of high-achieving women in these two distinct, yet complementary, nontraditional arenas.
