Title: | Guanxi influences on women intrapreneurship | Authors: | Zhang, CX Kimbu, AN Lin, P Ngoasong, MZ |
Issue Date: | Dec-2020 | Source: | Tourism management, Dec. 2020, v. 81, 104137 | Abstract: | Drawing on the literature examining women intrapreneurship, Chinese guanxi and tourism, this article critically explores a theoretical framework for understanding guanxi influences on women intrapreneurship in a non-western and highly patriarchal destination. Through a qualitative analysis of women managers from twenty-four medium and large tourism firms in China, the study provides evidence of Guanxi as socially embedded personal relationships for the exchange of favors, enabling women managers to initiate specific types of women intrapreneurship initiatives in their organizations. The findings reveal how the women managers draw on three forms of guanxi (external, within and back-stage) to display intrapreneurial actions as well as the firm-specific factors that constitute important determinants of women intrapreneurship. The managerial implications for encouraging and supporting women intrapreneurs are critically examined. | Keywords: | China Confucianism Gender Guanxi Women intrapreneurship |
