“…Men are reluctant to admit or even talk about the importance of women in their entrepreneurial motivation. A similar conclusion was made in a study conducted in 2007 which found that women were much more concerned about the negative impact of an entrepreneurial career on their family life and personal relationships (Burke et al, 2002). However, the study also found that often children were the very reason women decided to start an entrepreneurial venture hoping that such a career would give them greater flexibility and more time to devote to their children (Kirkwood and Campbell-Hunt, 2007).…”

A decision to start a business is not easy because it is result of the economic conditions, cultural context, but also "push" and "pull" factors. In order to determine woman motivational factors, a survey of 1,157 Eastern Croatia respondents was conducted. The purpose of the research was to determine which motivations the potential future entrepreneurs believe trigger women entrepreneurs' decision to start an entrepreneurial venture. The results show that women are considered to be financially motivated. The fact that real-life women entrepreneurs from previous research have stated slightly different motivations shows that there is room for improvement of entrepreneurship education.

“…Hughes (2006) also finds indications that women who state that they became self-employed for Bwork-family^reasons have lower incomes from self-employment than those having Bclassic^motives such as independence, challenge, and financial independence. Burke et al (2002) do, however, find that non-pecuniary motives to enter selfemployment have a positive impact on performance for males, and they find no evidence that women entering self-employment for this reason perform worse, or better, than women who enter for other reasons.…”

“…The distribution of the number of this variable is skewed, with nearly 50% of the selfemployed having no employees. Following Burke et al (2002), we investigate the difference in firm size between the groups and the impact of other covariates by estimating a Tobit model. The same specifications as before are estimated.…”

This paper analyzes the timing between self-employment entry and first child birth among Swedish women, using register data for the cohort of women born between 1970 and 1975. We use longitudinal data, where w e observe selfemployment entry, childbirths, and self-employment outcomes during the period 1995 to 2013. The main research question is whether women who have children when entering self-employment perform less well compared to women who do not have children at the time of self-employment entry. One reason to expect differences in outcomes is that childless women are less time constrained and could potentially invest more time in the business, which could affect outcomes. We find, contrary to our hypothesis, that women who had a child at the time of selfemployment entry have higher incomes, higher revenues and more employees in their firms, while we find no difference in the exit rate out of selfemployment.

“…The identity perspective offered by my study extends the understanding of entrepreneurial persistence by offering empirical evidence to support the link between the motivation to persevere and the integration of the entrepreneurial identity within the sense of self (Duening, 2017). Therefore attempts in the entrepreneurship literature to predict business growth by studying start-up motivations are called into question (see Birley & Westhead, 1994;Burke, FitzRoy, & Nolan, 2002;Cassar, 2007;Hessels, Van Gelderen, & Thurik, 2008;Renko & Freeman, 2017). My study showed that the participants' newly formed and reformed entrepreneurial identity enabled them to persevere in the face of obstacles and negative feedback and commit to the entrepreneurial role.…”

Evolving Entrepreneurial Identities: An Exploratory Study

Entrepreneurship is a diverse and complex phenomenon. However, despite substantial developments in the field, dominant approaches to entrepreneurship research are criticised for failing to question taken-for-granted assumptions about both the entrepreneurial actor and the process of entrepreneurship. This has resulted in a narrow view of entrepreneurship which fails to reflect the heterogeneity of the phenomenon and the individuals who undertake it. Through an exploration of the experiences of nascent entrepreneurs, the study builds upon the extant entrepreneurship literature by addressing the misalignment between entrepreneurship research and observations of entrepreneurship. The study aims to gain insights into the phenomenon of nascent entrepreneurship from the perspectives of the individuals who enact it. The study uses interpretative phenomenological analysis to gain an understanding of what it means to be an entrepreneur. The research draws upon data captured from 21 in-depth interviews with nascent entrepreneurs to develop three key themes which are discussed in relation to the extant entrepreneurship literature: entrepreneurial motivations and identity; entrepreneurial identity formation and perseverance; identity crafting, reconciliation and conflict. The findings contribute to theoretical understandings within the broader entrepreneurship literature by challenging the stereotypical view of the economically motivated lone wolf entrepreneur and presenting a nuanced picture of entrepreneurship as a means of identity fulfilment. The study contributes to the entrepreneurial identity literature by providing an empirical basis for dynamic entrepreneurial identity formation through action (enactment of the entrepreneurial role), interaction (with networks and start-up communities) and reflection. This challenges conceptualisations of both static and discursively imposed entrepreneurial identities. The findings present a nuanced illustration of entrepreneurial identity formation by emphasising the interrelationships between entrepreneurial passion, self-efficacy and identity. The study contributes to the entrepreneurial motivations literature by showing the motivational influence of non-entrepreneurial identities, non-entrepreneurial passions and possible future selves. The findings contribute to the v entrepreneurial identity literature by demonstrating the importance of entrepreneurial identity formation and reconciliation with multiple personal and socially ascribed identities in order to commit to the entrepreneurial role and persevere with entrepreneurial endeavours. The study has practical and policy implications including the facilitation of opportunities for identity evolution and an emphasis on identity fulfilment and authenticity.
