Abstract

The present study attempts to theorize the phenomenon of empowerment of marginalized women in the context of social enterprises involved in sustainable business practices. To extract the deeper meaning of empowerment of such women, an inductive process using Gioia’s method was employed by interviewing 13 marginalized women working in the social enterprise ‘Phool’. The venture is involved in recycling sacred floral waste into incense sticks, organic fertilizers, and other sustainable packaging solutions. The findings of the study were built on the Social Identity Theory, which emphasizes the fundamental need to be a part of social groups. Our findings suggest that for marginalized women, empowerment manifests in dignity and honour, economic sovereignty and social admittance and embracement. The study contributes to the extant literature on women’s empowerment by intersecting with the phenomenon of marginalization in the context of social enterprise and explains how marginalized women experience empowerment at work.

在为印度边缘化妇女开设的探索人生目标课程中,将妇女赋权现象理论化--来自 Phool 的证据
本研究试图对参与可持续商业实践的社会企业中的边缘化妇女赋权现象进行理论分析。为了提取这些妇女赋权的深层含义,本研究采用了吉奥亚归纳法,对在社会企业 "Phool "工作的 13 名边缘化妇女进行了访谈。该企业将圣花废料回收利用,制成香棒、有机肥料和其他可持续包装解决方案。研究结果建立在社会认同理论的基础上,该理论强调作为社会群体一员的基本需求。我们的研究结果表明,对边缘化妇女而言,赋权体现在尊严和荣誉、经济主权以及社会接纳和包容方面。本研究通过与社会企业背景下的边缘化现象进行交叉研究,解释了边缘化妇女如何在工作中体验赋权,从而为现有的妇女赋权文献做出了贡献。

期刊介绍: South Asian Journal of Business and Management Cases (SAJBMC) is a peer-reviewed, tri-annual journal of Birla Institute of Management Technology, Greater Noida (India). The journal aims to provide a space for high-quality original research or analytical cases, evidence-based case studies, comparative studies on industry sectors, products, and practical applications of management concepts. The journal likes to publish problem-solving, decisional and applied types of cases. Such cases must have linkage with theory, at least one dilemma (also known as case issue) and a protagonist around whom the case issue will revolve. Publication of pure research, applied research and field studies with empirical data do not fall under the domain of SAJBMC. Fictitious cases are not welcome.
