Abstract

This paper aims to examine the entrepreneurial logic of mumpreneurs in the light of effectuation theory and to analyse their entrepreneurial motivation. The research is based on qualitative data from five mumpreneurs and semi-structured interviews. The data were analysed using thematic analysis. The results show that mumpreneurs are motivated by several factors such as dissatisfaction, motherhood, independence and the need to improve their financial situation. As a result of the multiple constraints faced by mumpreneurs, the five principles of effectuation emerge as an inherent mode of operation. This study provides valuable information on how effectuation theory can be used to describe the way in which mumpreneurs, depending on their situation, create new businesses to improve their situation and better develop personally and professionally in their lives as mothers and entrepreneurs.
