Abstract

This report compares sex differences in motivation to pledge money to become an employee-owner among 943 men and women workers faced with an area-wide shutdown of supermarkets. Women and men were equally likely to desire employee-ownership, but some differences exist in factors related to their decision. Among women, support for the union contract and entrepreneurial ideals was related to desire for employee-ownership, and having insufficient income was the most important barrier. Among men, entrepreneurial ideals, risk taking and collective ideals were important predictors of pledging while protecting seniority benefits was the most important detractor.
