“…This is seen through female entrepreneurs' plans using their motherhood instinct, expressing their desire to be available to raise their children and take care of the household while still working and achieving financial stability for their families (Thebaud, 2010). In this regard, Daymard (2015) concluded that while children mobilise resources that could be dedicated to the business and hence prevent women from continuing their business, they can encourage women to become entrepreneurs to seek work flexibility and a better work-life balance, which are considered pull factors (Mroczek-Dąbrowska and Gaweł, 2020). Similarly, Nel et al .…”

PurposeThe paper aims to shed light on the factors that affect female entrepreneurship at the macro-environment level and motherhood in the Kingdom of Bahrain.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on the 5M model and an institutional approach, this paper uses a qualitative semi-structured in-depth interview approach with 44 female entrepreneurs.FindingsThe results uncover several findings highlighting the important influence of the macro-environment on female entrepreneurs in Bahrain, grouped under formal (complex regulations, double employment constraints and financial obligations) and informal (societal perceptions) institutions, as well as the nuanced role of motherhood factors.Originality/valueThe study addresses the motherhood aspect of female entrepreneurs comprising household, family, child/elderly care and societally perceived female duties. Therefore, it constitutes the primary building block in a more gender-aware approach to female entrepreneurship. Addressing societal perceived gender roles leads to a comprehensive perspective on the study of female entrepreneurs.

“…We considered participants’ age (in years), educational level (1 = did not complete high school, 2 = high school, 3 = some college, 4 = bachelor degree, 5 = master degree, 6 = advanced graduate work or PhD), management level (1 = lower, 2 = medium, 3 = top), number of employees they supervised (1 = no, 2 = 1–5, 3 = 6–10, 4 = 11–15, 5 = 16–20, 6 = more than 20), hierarchical power level (from 1[bottom] to 100 [top]; Lammers et al, 2010 ), and the gender dominance of the sector in which they worked (dummy coded; dummy 1 [0 = mixed/female-dominated, 1 = male-dominated] and dummy 2 [0 = mixed/male-dominated and 1 = female-dominated]; Mroczek-Dąbrowska and Gaweł, 2020 ), as potential control variables as previous research suggested that these are associated with our outcome variables ( Thompson et al, 2000 ; Vergauwe et al, 2014 ; Cokley et al, 2015 ; Feenstra et al, 2020a ; Kark et al, 2021 ).…”

Reaching the top but not feeling on top of the world: Examining women’s internalized power threats

et al. 2022

More and more women are breaking the glass ceiling to obtain positions of power. Yet with this rise, some women experience threats to their power. Here we focus on women’s perceived threats to the stability of their power and the degree to which women feel they do not deserve their power positions, as reflected in their impostor feelings. The present research identifies key workplace characteristics that are associated with these internalized power threats with survey data collected among 185 women in high-power positions. We find that negative workplace experiences (i.e., gender discrimination, denigrating treatment, lack of cultural fit, and lack of mentoring) are associated with a greater sense of power threat, which in turn relates to adverse workplace outcomes (i.e., reduced job satisfaction and increased emotional exhaustion and opting-out intentions). With this unique sample of high-powered women, our findings help illustrate the forces that make women experience power as precarious, thereby shedding light on the disadvantages these women face. We provide suggestions on how to reduce women’s internalized power threats.

“…At this period, despite most of cities in Vietnam have been allowed to relax social or physical distancing measures, some certain restrictions, such as staying at least 6 feet, wearing facemasks, closing public entertainment services (bars, game centers) have still been performed by the government. Therefore, utilizing online data collecting tool during the covid-19 pandemic is more suitable [20 , 21] . 25000 online questionnaires have been distributed to personal Emails, Zalo, and Facebook, and LinkedIn to invite students to participate in the survey.…”

This paper presents the data that estimate the linkages between perceived regulatory support, empathy, moral obligation, social entrepreneurial self-efficacy, perceived social support, and social entrepreneurial intention among Vietnamese students. The scales were adopted from previous studies to develop the questionnaires utilizing a five-Likert scale. The sample collected from 685 undergraduate students from universities in Vietnam. A quantitative approach was utilised to examine the value of data. Specifically, some descriptive statistics was utilized to show the respondents’ profiles and characteristics of variables. Cronbach’ alpha, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the reliability and validity of constructs before estimating path coefficients via structural equational modelling (SEM).
