Abstract

Migrants are embedded in traditions in their home-society and embedded in institutions in their host-society. This dual embeddedness raises issues for migrants from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) residing in Europe and North America. Embedded in a gender-inegalitarian home-society and in a more gender-egalitarian host-society, what are migrant women's occupational pursuits, especially to become entrepreneurs? The research design analyses women and men in the diaspora by comparing their home-society and their host-society. Analyses show that migrant men's roles are to be breadwinners in the diaspora in both home- and host-societies. Migrant women, however, switch extensively from being homemakers in home-society to becoming breadwinners in host-society. Migrant women frequently show entrepreneurial intention, but are filtered out more than men, and in the diaspora more than women in Europe and North America, but less than women in MENA. The findings contribute to understanding effects of dual embeddedness.

中东和北非移民男女的创业追求:对母国和东道国社会的双重嵌入

移徙者植根于其母国社会的传统和东道国社会的制度。这种双重嵌入性给居住在欧洲和北美的中东和北非移民带来了问题。在性别不平等的母国社会和性别更平等的东道国社会中，移民妇女的职业追求是什么，尤其是成为企业家?研究设计通过比较母国社会和东道国社会来分析散居的女性和男性。分析表明，在母国和东道国社会中，移民男子的角色都是在外流散的养家糊口者。然而，移徙妇女广泛地从母国社会的家庭主妇转变为母国社会的养家糊口者。移民妇女经常表现出创业意向，但比男性被过滤掉的更多，在欧洲和北美，移民妇女比女性多，但在中东和北非地区，移民妇女比女性少。这些发现有助于理解双重嵌入的影响。

期刊介绍： EJIM is the first international journal devoted entirely to fostering an understanding of issues in international management theory and practice in the newly expanded European arena – including the underrepresented regions of Northern, Central and Eastern Europe – and to providing both conceptual and functional implications useful for the further development of research, teaching practices, and managerial techniques. EJIM also solicits literature that allows for a broader interpretation of research – it welcomes not only papers which adhere to the most common research standards (i.e., largely based on hypothesis testing using quantitative methods), but also those that introduce a more European perspective through qualitative and interdisciplinary contributions.
