Abstract(s)
O presente estudo tem o objetivo de entender (1) como o empreendedorismo contribui positivamente para que mães de autistas tenham maior autonomia e (2) como a intenção empreendedora, equilíbrio entre trabalho-família e o medo do fracasso empreendedor, são pertinentes e necessários para que as mães de autistas tenham autoeficácia empreendedora, no contexto brasileiro. A pesquisa fundamenta-se nas teorias do comportamento planejado e do enriquecimento trabalho-família como alicerces teóricos. Adotou-se uma abordagem metodológica mista, com coleta de dados por meio de questionário e entrevistas em profundidade. Os dados quantitativos, provenientes de 80 questionários, foram submetidos à Análise de Condição Necessária (NCA), enquanto as 10 entrevistas foram examinadas através de uma análise temática. Os resultados da NCA demonstram que intenção empreendedora, equilíbrio entre trabalho-família e o medo do fracasso empreendedor constituem condições necessárias para que mães de crianças autistas alcancem níveis elevados de autoeficácia, corroborando aspectos da Teoria do Comportamento Planejado. A análise qualitativa, fundamentada na Teoria do Enriquecimento Trabalho-Família, elucidou desafios singulares enfrentados por essa população, destacando-se a ausência de uma rede de apoio robusta e a escassez de recursos financeiros como obstáculos primordiais. Um achado particularmente relevante mostra que as empreendedoras mães atípicas priorizam deliberadamente o equilíbrio entre as esferas profissional e familiar, frequentemente em detrimento da expansão de seus empreendimentos, alinhando-se aos pressupostos da Teoria do Enriquecimento Trabalho-Família. Infere-se, portanto, que o empreendedorismo por necessidade, embora ofereça a flexibilidade e autonomia preconizadas por ambas as teorias, demanda concomitantemente a implementação de políticas de apoio especificamente direcionadas a esse público. Esta investigação contribui para a evolução conhecimento sobre empreendedorismo feminino e maternidade atípica, fornecendo perspectivas para a formulação de políticas públicas e o desenvolvimento de práticas de suporte mais eficazes e personalizadas às necessidades dessas empreendedoras.
This study aims to understand (1) how entrepreneurship positively contributes to mothers of autistic children having greater autonomy and (2) how entrepreneurial intention, work-family balance and fear of entrepreneurial failure are relevant and necessary for mothers of autistic children to have entrepreneurial self-efficacy in the Brazilian context. The research is based on the theories of planned behavior and workfamily enrichment as theoretical foundations. A mixed methodological approach was adopted, with data collection through questionnaires and in-depth interviews. Quantitative data from 80 questionnaires were subjected to Necessary Condition Analysis (NCA), while the 10 interviews were examined through a thematic analysis. The results of the NCA demonstrate that entrepreneurial intention, work-family balance and fear of entrepreneurial failure are necessary conditions for mothers of autistic children to achieve high levels of self-efficacy, corroborating aspects of the Theory of Planned Behavior. The qualitative analysis, based on the Work-Family Enrichment Theory, elucidated unique challenges faced by this population, highlighting the lack of a robust support network and the scarcity of financial resources as primary obstacles. A particularly relevant finding shows that atypical mother entrepreneurs deliberately prioritize the balance between work and family spheres, often to the detriment of the expansion of their businesses, in line with the assumptions of the Work-Family Enrichment Theory. It can be inferred, therefore, that entrepreneurship by necessity, although offering the flexibility and autonomy advocated by both theories, simultaneously demands the implementation of support policies specifically targeted to this population. This research contributes to the evolution of knowledge about female entrepreneurship and atypical motherhood, providing perspectives for the formulation of public policies and the development of more effective support practices tailored to the needs of these entrepreneurs.
