We add to this nascent stream through an abductive, qualitative study exploring how religious entrepreneurs address institutional voids to produce positive and/or negative outcomes through their ventures. Merging insights from structuration theory and religious agency from...

Episode 149 – Anna-Katharina Schaper – Holding up the sky together? Family support dynamics and gender in entrepreneurship in China

Previous efforts to integrate culture and gender into a comprehensive theoretical framework for family support in entrepreneurship have fallen short. This study aims to clarify the influence of gender and culture on family support for women entrepreneurs in a patriarchal society. We use a qualitative approach, conducting 25 semi-structured interviews with Chinese women entrepreneurs who...

Episode 148 – Michael Conger – Planting churches, growing identities: how religious entrepreneurship changes those who are called to it

The growing subfield of religious entrepreneurship typically examines how faith impacts entrepreneurial outcomes, but much less work has examined the reverse. In this inductive study, we interview church planters, individuals engaged in forming a new religious organization that may or may not be connected to a broader Christian denomination, to understand how entrepreneurial action impacts...

Episode 147 – Magdalena Markowska – Spiritual bricolage among women entrepreneurs: reframing adversity

This study explores how women entrepreneurs within a resource-constrained context of Ethiopia utilize spiritual resources and spiritual bricolage in their entrepreneurial endeavours.

Episode 146 – Ling Li – Worldview matters: exploring the interplay between Indigenous worldviews and entrepreneurial journeys – storytelling from Chile’s Mapuche

While the research on Indigenous entrepreneurship (IE) has gained momentum, Indigenous worldviews, a key construct in understanding the distinctiveness of Indigenous people and their communities, remain underexplored. Drawing on narrative inquiry and graphic elicitation technique, this article examines how Indigenous worldviews shape and are shaped by the entrepreneurial journeys among urban Mapuche entrepreneurs from Chile....

Episode 145 – Clara Douaihy – Structure and dynamics of a precarious entrepreneurial sub-ecosystem in a developed country

Entrepreneurial ecosystem research increasingly recognizes the importance of sub-ecosystems, yet their dynamics in contexts of precarity remain underexplored. This article introduces the concept of precarious entrepreneurial sub-ecosystems and examines how entrepreneurship unfolds under conditions of resource scarcity and social vulnerability in Montpellier, France. By mobilizing a complex adaptive systems perspective, we develop a multilevel model...

Episode 144 – Daniel Hjorth – Crafting social entrepreneuring: intra-sectional possibilities in responding to GBV

The intersectional nature of gender-based violence (GBV) makes it unlikely that survivors can escape the socio-economic precarity that perpetuates this social ill. Current conceptualizations of the entrepreneurial process do not sufficiently account for the material constraints GBV survivors face in developing countries and/or in contexts of poverty, and as such, may not fully grasp their...

Episode 143 – Mary Joy Baloyo – ‘They don’t waste money on women’: gendered entrepreneurial household dynamics and the total social organization of labour

This article examines gendered household dynamics and the organization of labour in Entrepreneurial Households (EHs), using Glucksumann’s Total Social Organization of Labour theory (TSOL). It challenges the perception of EHs as neutral spaces and argues that analysing households provides a more nuanced understanding of the gendered dynamics in households where a member is formally self-employed...

Our study explores the interplay between the Big Five Personality Traits (B5-PT) and Entrepreneurial Orientation (EO) among home and international entrepreneurs in the Middle East, focusing on Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates. Utilizing fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), we investigate how different combinations of personality traits influence EO in distinct entrepreneurial contexts....
