Professional working women face workplace conflicts out of the combined effect of social expectations, pressures and career role aspirations. This study focuses on a particular stage in women’s career continuity – entry into motherhood roles in their early careers which creates attendant dilemmas and anxieties due to organizational-managerial dispositions and biases. A grounded qualitative research approach was adopted and in-depth conversational, unstructured interviews were conducted with eight professional women subjects holding managerial positions using the snowball technique. The subjects and the geographies have been held anonymous to protect sources. Five frames representing the work role-motherhood role dynamics at the workplace emerged from the study which can become the basis for sensitizing organizations on this issue.References

The question of whether and why women prefer self-employment to wage-employment in dealing with social space-work space interface has been on the research radar for some time. A careful scrutiny of research depictions of women in selfemployment points towards three frames for a better understanding of whether and why women choose self-employment over wage employment while engaging with social space-workspace dilemmas - the “pragmatic-accepting” (self-employment as an arrangement at the person level in tune with social space-workspace ground realities), the “organizational-managerial” (self-employment as flight from insensate managerialism), and the “structural-contradictory” (selfemployment as a fission triggered by resentful distress and strident protest against deeply embedded heedlessness).References
