摘要

本研究旨在了解台灣女性在創業過程中的需求與可能遭遇的困境，以及互助團體在這個歷程中扮演的角色。研究者以深度訪談及參與觀察做為研究策略，並以社會資本（social capital）中的信任與互惠概念作為分析時的理論基礎。在2005年起以「中華飛雁創業互助會」的會員做為訪談對象，共計訪談6組女性創業家，探討以下研究目的：（1）女性的創業的動機與歷程；（2）互助團體對於女性創業歷程的影響。本研究發現：（1）自信心為延續創業熱情的重要因素；（2）家庭因素是影響創業結果的兩面刃。根據結果提出三點建議：（1）以進修或在職訓練提升女性創業者自信心；（2）輔導以公益形象作為女性創業特色；（3）重視互助團體在女性創業歷程的功能以及發揮其資源連的結特性。

This study focuses on the requirements and difficulties women entrepreneurs face in their career and the role of support groups during the process. Our main strategies in this study are to conduct in depth interviews and observation, as well as base our analysis on the principals of trust and reciprocity of social capital. Since 2005, we have interviewed 6 members of the Women Entrepreneurs Association of Taiwan to examine the following research objectives: 1. The motivation and process by women entrepreneurs; 2. The influence of support groups throughout their career. We will also conclude with 3 proposals: 1. Advance education or on-the-job training to enhance the self -esteem of women entrepreneurs; 2. Establishment of women entrepreneur's image for social welfare awareness; 3. Value the role of support groups in the process of women entrepreneurship and fully utilize their resources and connections.
