Abstract

This cross-country study proposes conceptualizing and measuring the engagement of a gendered workforce in corporate entrepreneurship by examining the influence of individual capabilities, workplace environment perception, and national culture. The study uses information from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor and World Bank from 22 countries among a sample of employees managing projects within established firms. Results reaffirm the importance of having a job that fully aligns with the interests of employees regarding their gender; in this case, the perception of having a meaningful job and having the autonomy to develop novel activities are strong determinants. However, gender differences may be more pronounced when considering work-life balance satisfaction. These findings enrich the literature on corporate entrepreneurship and gender and establish important insights for corporations wanting to develop a workplace environment promoting entrepreneurial activity.
