영문 초록

This study examines how professional entrepreneurship of women can take place, based on the push and pull theories of entrepreneurship. In particular, we argue that individual capabilities (as a pull factor) make the self-employment of female professionals less likely while discrimination (as a push factor) make the self-employment of female professionals more likely. In addition, we analyze the moderating effect of discrimination on the relationship between individual capabilities and the self-employment of female professionals because individuals make the decision of self-employment based on a combination of two factors. Furthermore, we examine that the moderation of gender consciousness on the relationship between the pull and push factors and the self-employment of female professionals. With a sample of 1,356 female lawyers in the U.S., we examine our hypotheses predicting the rate of self-employment with respect to which prior salary, attribute-based discrimination, family-based discrimination, and gender consciousness. As a result, we found that prior salary predicted slower self-employment; either attribute-based or family-based discrimination makes it faster; and in addition, gender consciousness further predicted slower self-employment.
