“…Women Founders of Startups: an Examination Through the Prism of the Queen Bee Phenomenon Furthermore, the participants identified as feminists and/or showed that they shared the ideals of the feminist cause, such as being sympathetic to the idea of gender equality, promoting organizational practices that aim to establish gender equality, and promoting recruitment processes geared towards women when they notice a quantitative gender imbalance in some position or sector of the organization. Solidarity reinforces the feminist identity and strengthens women's demand for equality, as found by Cheng and Silva Jr. (2022). The feminist identity then looks to reduce self-group distancing and increase cooperative behavior among women.…”

Purpose -To analyze the adherence to queen bee phenomenon (QBP) attitudes among women founders and co-founders of startups.Theoretical framework -We used the three dimensions of the QBP to understand how female founders of startups relate to other women in the work environment and how they deal with the male professional culture in which they are embedded. We also used the gender career literature to understand cooperative relationships between women.Design/methodology/approach -Our research approach is characterized as qualitative. We employed semi-structured interviews with 30 women founders of startups. We used the abductive analytical procedure. The authors carried out the coding process independently and we obtained adequate reliability values in the coding procedures.Findings -The participants stated that they assimilated male traits. However, they did not distance themselves from their gender identity group. Nor did they legitimize the gender hierarchy. Thus, we rejected our assumption that women founders of startups exhibit strong QBP adherence.Practical & social implications of research -This study contributes to the theoretical advancement of the QBP by analyzing a male context where QB attitudes are not salient. At the same time, we suggest gender bias awareness as a variable that impacts QB attitudes. Although cooperation among women reduces QB attitudes, it does not reduce gender inequality in the workplace. Thus, in terms of social implications, we reinforce the need for structural changes to achieve gender equality.Originality/value -The relationship between women has been scarcely studied in the startup context, and we found no studies that analyzed female founders of startups through the prism of the QBP.

Resumo Neste ensaio, propomos discutir as limitações da abordagem ortodoxa de trabalho em relação à economia solidária adotada pela Organização Internacional do Trabalho (OIT) e pela visão clássica da sociologia do trabalho. Para iniciar a argumentação, mostramos que a economia solidária foi analisada pela sociologia do trabalho tradicional, tanto no Brasil quanto na França, como uma ilusão da qual os atores são vítimas. Já a OIT, ainda que apresente ultimamente uma perspectiva em contraste, se encarcera numa noção de trabalho decente na economia solidária que mantém um quadro de referência comum com a perspectiva conservadora da sociologia do trabalho. Na segunda parte, apresentamos 2 práticas que expõem quanto a economia solidária não pode ser reduzida à dimensão econômica de modo de produção e das relações de trabalho, bem como que existe uma dimensão política emancipadora inerente a ela, nos casos do Conjunto Palmeiras (Brasil) e do movimento das Régies de quartier (França). Com base nessas emergências práticas, na terceira seção, buscamos especificar as estruturas teóricas que não se limitam a compreender as modalidades de implementação do trabalho na economia solidária, permitindo uma integração mais ampla das múltiplas dimensões. Desse modo, 3 enfoques teóricos são relacionados: as epistemologias do Sul, a abordagem substantiva da ação econômica e a noção de democracia deliberativa. Ao fim, abre-se a reflexão para que a sociologia do trabalho e a OIT avancem e reconfigurem suas abordagens de referência sobre o trabalho e a economia solidária para uma concepção ampliada, substantiva e heterodoxa.
