“…Examples of such differences include forgoing individual needs (Guendouzi, ), gendered time use (Rafnsdóttir & Heijstra, ), gendered family structure (Stalp & Conti, ), gendered household labour, parenting and caring roles (Crompton & Lyonette, ; Hilbrecht, Shaw, Johnson, & Andrey, ; Lowson & Arber, ; Windebank, ), gendered employment relations (Hantrais & Ackers, ; Turbine & Riach, ), and gendered family‐friendly policies/programmes (McDonald, Pini, & Bradley, ; Root & Wooten, ). However, in a few studies, gender did not seem to have any significant effect (Vázquez‐Carrasco, López‐Pérez, & Centeno, ; Weststar, ).…”

Despite a proliferation of work-family literature over the past three decades, studies employing quantitative methodologies significantly outweigh those adopting qualitative approaches. In this paper, we intend to explore the state of qualitative work-family research in the management field and provide a comprehensive profile of the 152 studies included in this review. We synthesize the findings of qualitative work-family studies and provide six themes including parenthood, gender differences, cultural differences, family-friendly policies and non-traditional work arrangements, coping strategies, and under-studied populations. We also describe how findings of qualitative work-family studies compare to that of quantitative studies. The review highlights seven conclusions in the current qualitative literature: a limited number of qualitative endeavours, findings worth further attention, convergent foci, the loose use of work-family terminology, the neglect of a variety of qualitative research approaches, quantitative attitudes towards qualitative research, and insufficient reporting of research methods. In addition, implications for future researchers are discussed.

“…Considering the positive social impact of entrepreneurial activities by women, such as improvements in income distribution and diversification of the economy (e.g., Verheul et al., 2006; Vázquez‐Carrasco et al., 2012; Gupta et al., 2014; Akter et al., 2019), women entrepreneurs are an important factor in reducing inequality and promoting local development (Nieva, 2015; Alves et al., 2017; Akter et al., 2019).…”

How female entrepreneurship may boost business innovation and internationalization

This study sought to analyze the role female entrepreneurship plays in the internationalization and innovation process of firms. Additionally, this study aims to contribute to a better understanding of how the countries of Europe and Central Asia are grouped in terms of female entrepreneurship. Our analysis used secondary data collected from the Enterprise Surveys-The World Bank database to which multivariate statistical analysis were applied. The results suggest a non-significant statistical relationship between female entrepreneurship and internationalization, which may be explained by high capital access constraints female entrepreneurs face. There are cultural and social barriers that affect the decision of women entrepreneurs to internationalize. Our results also show interdependence between internationalization and innovation. The results also suggest that the countries of Europe and Central Asia can be divided into two clusters. The difference between the two clusters can be justified by the role of women in the countries concerned. The originality of this article is related to the analysis of the possible contribution of women entrepreneurship to the internationalization of firms, which is still an understudied area, because of the exclusion of women entrepreneurs from the market due to the male norms that dominate the socioeconomic contexts. Additionally, the findings of this research can contribute to the implementation of a strategic policy framework to encourage female entrepreneurship.

“…Schaap et al (2008) indicate that women entrepreneurs emphasise task enjoyment, working with people, helping others, and making friends; whereas, men entrepreneurs use transactional leadership approach with emphasis on rewards, such as money. Vázquez-Carrasco et al (2012) posit that women entrepreneurs have better capacity to organise and listen, and that women are more practical than men. Sudarmanti et al (2013) mention that women entrepreneurs create a supportive, flexible and loyal environment within the business.…”

We explored nuanced gender perceptions regarding the influences that business capabilities may have on tourism-related business operations in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. We used structured questionnaire to collect data from 150 tourism-related entrepreneurs and managers. This study made no conclusive finding that gender does play a role with regard to differentiating business success or performance, as reported in some literature. However, marketing capability is the main factor that influence business performance.
