Abstract
Migrants are embedded in traditions in their home-society and embedded in institutions in their host-society. This dual embeddedness raises issues for migrants from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) residing in Europe and North America. Embedded in a gender-inegalitarian home-society and in a more gender-egalitarian host-society, what are migrant women's occupational pursuits, especially to become entrepreneurs? The research design analyses women and men in the diaspora by comparing their home-society and their host-society. Analyses show that migrant men's roles are to be breadwinners in the diaspora in both home- and host-societies. Migrant women, however, switch extensively from being homemakers in home-society to becoming breadwinners in host-society. Migrant women frequently show entrepreneurial intention, but are filtered out more than men, and in the diaspora more than women in Europe and North America, but less than women in MENA. The findings contribute to understanding effects of dual embeddedness.
期刊介绍：
EJIM is the first international journal devoted entirely to fostering an understanding of issues in international management theory and practice in the newly expanded European arena – including the underrepresented regions of Northern, Central and Eastern Europe – and to providing both conceptual and functional implications useful for the further development of research, teaching practices, and managerial techniques. EJIM also solicits literature that allows for a broader interpretation of research – it welcomes not only papers which adhere to the most common research standards (i.e., largely based on hypothesis testing using quantitative methods), but also those that introduce a more European perspective through qualitative and interdisciplinary contributions.
