Who can claim innovation and benefit from it? Gender and expectancy violations in reward‐based crowdfunding

Benedikt David Christian Seigner, Hana Milanov, Aaron F. McKenny

Strategic Entrepreneurship Journal > 16 > 2 > 381 - 422

Research Summary Although reward‐based crowdfunding is lauded for its promise to democratize funding for innovation, claiming innovation in campaign texts has an ambiguous link to crowdfunding performance. We draw from Expectancy Violations Theory (EVT) and, in a field study of 2,185 Kickstarter campaigns, find that innovation claims yield better fundraising performance for women than men, particularly...

Jasmine Jaim

Global Business and Organizational Excellence > 41 > 1 > 31 - 45

Studies of the distinct experience of women entrepreneurs in non‐Western settings are rare. Extant studies of women's entrepreneurship focus, almost exclusively, on developed Western economies and tend to underplay the role of the family, which has become unnaturally separated from entrepreneurship research. Based on a structured literature review, this article advances the understanding of how family...

Women's entrepreneurship in Saudi Arabia: Feminist solidarity and political activism in disguise?

Sophie Alkhaled

Gender, Work & Organization > 28 > 3 > 950 - 972

This paper is a longitudinal study that uses insights from postcolonial feminism to explore women's entrepreneurship as a political form of feminist organizing for social change in Saudi Arabia. Postcolonial feminist approaches challenge Western feminism, which can obscure the diversity of women's lived experiences, agency, and activism. Through Bayat's (2013) theory of “quiet encroachment,” I identify...

Część z tych motywów ma charakter pozytywny, w literaturze określane...

Seema Vyas, Henrica AFM. Jansen, Lori Heise, Jessie Mbwambo

Social Science & Medicine > 2015 > 146 > C > 307-315

The relationship between women's access to economic resources, e.g. employment or access to micro-credit, and experience of intimate partner violence is complex. Empirical evidence documents that in some settings women's employment is associated with higher risk of partner violence but in other settings with lower risk. Evidence also shows that these conflicting associations exist not only between...

Women's self-employment: An act of institutional (dis)integration? A multilevel, cross-country study

Kim Klyver, Suna Løwe Nielsen, Majbritt Rostgaard Evald

Journal of Business Venturing > 2013 > 28 > 4 > 474-488

In this paper we investigate the extent to which gender equality disintegrates women's self-employment choice (compared to that for men) and whether this is contingent upon a country's development stage and industries. We rely on symbolic interactionism to argue that employment choices emerge from an interactive conversation between individual and social institutional processes. Using data from 61...
