摘要

工作與家庭兩者皆為職業婦女生命中不可或缺的部分，然而女性創業者在家庭與事業間已不同於職業婦女所面對的問題，女性如何開創屬於自己的一片天，而能兼顧事業與家庭是我們所關切的。本研究目的是為了解女性創業動機與困難，及創業女性的家庭角色扮演，以提供未來欲創業的女性參考及建議。
本研究針對十一位女性創業家及五位共同參與創業的配偶進行研究。深入訪談以期瞭解，女性創業者在事業與家庭一連串動態過程中其內心的想法與關聯，在其創業歷程、生活經驗中能有更進一步的瞭解，並能詳實記錄與仔細推敲，發現問題所在。
研究結果發現，對女性創業家來說，父權商場對於女性創業家仍有傳統性別角色的期待，但仍支持女性應朝多元的角色發展，且創業對家庭有正面的肯定。創業女性在初創業時，孩子的照顧問題大部份都由婆婆或女性創業家擔負責任，而創業女性對其母職角色實踐的有無，較家庭中其他角色扮演還要重視。當其無法兼顧時，最後仍選擇犠牲家庭來成就事業。而創業女性的處境與角色期待與一般傳統婦女相同，這與其原生家庭的教育有很大的關係。然而在事業與家庭的關聯上，在家庭支持網絡下，創業女性能在事業與家庭間做最適的轉換。

Work and family both are a vital part of career women in their life, yet the problem between family and career female entrepreneurs are facing are quite different from general career women’s today. However, here our concern is how women create their own life between career and family. The purpose of this study is intended to understand female entrepreneurs’ motivation and difficulties for carrying out their business plans, and their role playing in family in order to give some helpful suggestions for those women who want to create their own business in the future.

This study was to conduct an in-depth interview by focusing on 11 female entrepreneurs and 5 their spouses jointly participating in implementing a business plan in order to explore female entrepreneurs’ innermost thoughts while they are busy with their work and family, and find out the problem they are facing during the process of initiating a business plan through detailed records and careful deliberation.

The findings of this study were discovered that from the perspective of female entrepreneurs, in the patriarchal male-dominated structure of commercial market, people treating them remained in the anticipation of a traditional female role, but they were glad to see women to have a diverse-role development. Furthermore, a business plan would give the family a positive influence. During the initial stage of implementing a business plan, most female entrepreneurs would take by themselves or ask for their mother-in-law to take the responsibility of looking after their children because of the performance of their duty of motherhood being the importance more than others in a family. When they failed to take care of both work and family concurrently, they would choose to continue developing their own business in lieu of returning home. However, female entrepreneurs have faced the same situation and role anticipation as traditional housewives, which was most related to the education background of their family of origin. Even so, if getting their family’s full support, most female entrepreneurs were able to handle both their work and family very well.
