Women Entrepreneurs
通过英格兰东北部四位女性企业家的案例，分析她们离开企业工作、选择自雇的复杂动机和经历，发现初始动机虽未完全实现，但个人与职业发展、独立性和控制感带来了补偿。
This article offers a post hoc analysis of the reasons why women leave corporate careers to enter self-employment. Four case studies of women entrepreneurs from North East England are presented.The subjective narratives of these female entrepreneurs highlight the complex nature of their career transition motivations and the issues they confronted while reaching the decision to begin new ventures. It transpired that original motivations for entering self-employment were not fully realized, however, this was compensated for by positive experiences in terms of personal and professional development and a new-found independence and control. Finally, it is suggested that the `Career Transition Motivation Framework' is a useful way of understanding the complexity of women's career transition experiences.
