Passing up the Job: The Role of Gendered Organizations and Families in the Entrepreneurial Career Process
研究分析了缺乏灵活性的组织实践和家庭因素如何通过性别差异影响创业路径，发现放弃缺乏灵活性的工作机会与女性（而非男性）的自雇相关，且母亲身份和配偶就业状况仅在女性放弃工作机会时预测其自雇。
This article theorizes and evaluates the relationship between inflexible organizational practices, family factors, and gendered pathways into entrepreneurship. Using novel survey data collected by the Harris Poll, I evaluate how a decision to pass up a job that lacks flexibility is associated with self–employment, and examine how this relationship varies by gender, family status, and educational attainment. Findings suggest that passing up a job is associated with women's, but not men's, self–employment. Moreover, motherhood and a spouse's employment status predict women's self–employment, but only if they have sacrificed a job opportunity.
