“…Here, it is worth mentioning that many factors such as social and cultural levels, the distinctiveness of the studied areas, and the linkages between economic and social aims would impact our results (Padilla-Meléndez et al 2022a).…”

“…Such a proposed model represents an attempt to present a new collaborative initiative to empower women in rural areas. Padilla-Meléndez et al (2022a) argued that studying indigenous women entrepreneurs is dependent on many factors, such as diversity and differentiation in the field, confidentiality and privacy of social and cultural levels, the distinctiveness of studied areas and countries, the linkages between economic and social aims, and future research attempts that would contribute to the knowledge in the field. Also, Padilla-Meléndez et al (2022b), claimed that little research has been conducted about women entrepreneurs in marginalized and poor countries.…”

Purpose: This research explored the role of female managers as change agents and the “problem of making women visible,” specifically in top management positions in in Jordanian banking industry. Methods: This research design is built on the basis of qualitative research, analyzing the perceptions in the mind of research subjects. Interviews were conducted with 32 participants from the Jordanian banking industry. Findings: Our research has revealed different and important insights into the changing role of Jordanian female workers, not only in such a male-dominant industry but also more broadly in Jordan’s wider society, in which the Arab masculine culture has been dominant. The positive impact of increased acceptance of females’ roles is significantly evident in our research, and we support the assertion that women can survive and prosper in the face of Arab or Eastern culture traditions. In addition, we asserted that females’ managers are deemed to be internal change agents through their knowledge, experience, and leadership traits and behavior. Conclusions: We shed the light on emancipation, in which females have had the opportunity to cross previous social and taken-for-granted boundaries, and which has eroded gender-biased boundaries and behavior as a response to the situational demands.

“…The analytical process follows a thematic approach, common in entrepreneurship studies using qualitative data (Harima, 2022;Padilla-Meléndez et al, 2022) and frequently used in explorations of intersectionality (Yamamura et al, 2022;Dharani et al, 2021). The researchers initially coded data independently to identify repeated patterns.…”

PurposeNigeria presents something of an entrepreneurial paradox. Women in entrepreneurship dominate the economy, yet patriarchal structures dominate society. This article investigates how patriarchal factors impact entrepreneurial processes, in turn, creating unequal expectations of entrepreneurial opportunity.Design/methodology/approachThe study adopts an intersectionality lens to explore how patriarchy is manifest for entrepreneurs. The reflective narratives of 30 entrepreneurs are analysed, provided through semi-structured interviews. An inductive qualitative approach accesses the gendered discourse of entrepreneurship as constructed by entrepreneurs. Within this discourse, the factors of patriarchy are exposed.FindingsFindings reveal a multi-faceted patriarchy, with the informing factors of entrepreneurial gender roles, class and religion. The study explains how the interaction of these factors reinforce patriarchal ideals and create a variety of gendered images of what is acceptable entrepreneurial activity in Nigeria, and for whom.Originality/valueThis study contributes to growing insight on entrepreneurship in Africa and challenges linear arguments of entrepreneurship-as-emancipation for women. In complex and multidimensional contexts, entrepreneurs must navigate the intersection of factors sensitively, ensuring acceptance and fulfilment of societal expectations. The power of intersectionality as a theory of contextualisation is discussed.
