Abstract

This paper tackles the question of whether necessity-based female entrepreneurship (NBFE) can drive new job creation. Drawing on the institutional logic perspective, we reason female entrepreneurs need to secure legitimacy across both private and business domains to be successful in job creation. Our empirical investigation, based on a sample of 1,890 female entrepreneurs from 20 countries sourced from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) APS 2013 dataset, reveals that NBFE positively predicts new job creation under high legitimacy in the private sphere, and this positive effect will be more positive with high legitimacy in the business sphere. Our theoretical contributions shed new light on the interplay between institutional logic, legitimacy, and entrepreneurship, challenging and expanding the existing conceptions in entrepreneurship literature.

超越生存：以必需品为基础的女性企业家精神通过双重合法性促进创造就业

本文探讨了以需求为基础的女性创业（NBFE）是否能推动新的就业创造。从制度逻辑的角度来看，我们认为女性企业家需要确保在私人和商业领域的合法性，才能成功创造就业机会。我们的实证调查基于来自20个国家的1890名女性企业家的样本，这些样本来自全球创业观察（GEM） APS 2013数据集，结果表明，在高合法性的私营领域，NBFE积极预测了新就业机会的创造，而在高合法性的商业领域，这种积极影响将更加积极。我们的理论贡献揭示了制度逻辑、合法性和企业家精神之间的相互作用，挑战和扩展了企业家精神文献中的现有概念。

期刊介绍： The Asia Pacific Journal of Management publishes original manuscripts on management and organizational research in the Asia Pacific region, encompassing Pacific Rim countries and mainland Asia. APJM focuses on the extent to which each manuscript addresses matters that pertain to the most fundamental question: “What determines organization success?” The major academic disciplines that we cover include entrepreneurship, human resource management, international business, organizational behavior, and strategic management. However, manuscripts that belong to other well-established disciplines such as accounting, economics, finance, marketing, and operations generally do not fall into the scope of APJM. We endeavor to be the major vehicle for exchange of ideas and research among management scholars within or interested in the broadly defined Asia Pacific region.Key features include: Rigor - maintained through strict review processes, high quality global reviewers, and Editorial Advisory and Review Boards comprising prominent researchers from many countries. Relevance - maintained by its focus on key management and organizational trends in the region. Uniqueness - being the first and most prominent management journal published in and about the fastest growing region in the world.
