Resumo(s)
O presente estudo analisa a conciliação entre a vida pessoal e profissional no contexto do empreendedorismo feminino, procurando compreender de que forma as mulheres equilibram as exigências associadas à gestão de um negócio com as responsabilidades familiares e pessoais. Partindo da relevância crescente do empreendedorismo feminino enquanto fator impulsionador da inovação e promotor da igualdade de género, a investigação explora as diferenças de perceção entre homens e mulheres, bem como entre empreendedores e não empreendedores, no que diz respeito ao equilíbrio entre as diversas variáveis da vida.
Com base numa abordagem quantitativa, foi aplicado um questionário online, a 279 participantes. O instrumento integrou dimensões como a carga laboral, o apoio familiar e organizacional, as oportunidades de desenvolvimento profissional, o locus de controlo, a autoeficácia e as atitudes face ao empreendedorismo. A análise estatística, realizada através do software SPSS, permitiu identificar diferenças significativas entre grupos e compreender os fatores que influenciam a satisfação com o equilíbrio entre a vida pessoal e profissional.
Os resultados revelam que as mulheres continuam a enfrentar uma sobrecarga de papéis, conciliando simultaneamente as responsabilidades empresariais e familiares. O apoio familiar e organizacional surge como uma determinante para a satisfação e o bem-estar, enquanto características individuais como o locus de controlo interno e a autoeficácia empreendedora se destacam como fatores diferenciadores entre empreendedores e não empreendedores, o que reflete os distintos perfis de perceção do equilíbrio e de envolvimento com o empreendedorismo. Verificam-se ainda diferenças de género na perceção das oportunidades de desenvolvimento e do apoio institucional.
Conclui-se que promover um ambiente favorável à conciliação implica não apenas políticas inclusivas e redes de apoio mais robustas, mas também uma transformação cultural que reconheça e valorize o contributo feminino no empreendedorismo e na sociedade.
This study examines the balance between personal and professional life within the context of female entrepreneurship, seeking to understand how women reconcile the demands of managing a business with family and personal responsibilities. Recognizing the growing relevance of female entrepreneurship as a catalyst for innovation and a promoter of gender equality, the research explores differences in perception between men and women, as well as between entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs, regarding the balance among various life domains. Based on a quantitative approach, an online questionnaire was administered to 279 participants. The instrument included dimensions such as workload, family and organizational support, career development opportunities, locus of control, self-efficacy, and attitudes towards entrepreneurship. Statistical analysis, using the SPSS software, identified significant group differences and highlighted factors influencing satisfaction with work-life balance. The results reveal that women continue to experience role overload, managing both business and family responsibilities simultaneously. Family and organizational support emerge as key determinants of satisfaction and well-being, while individual characteristics such as internal locus of control and entrepreneurial self-efficacy distinguished entrepreneurs from non-entrepreneurs, reflecting different perceptions of balance and engagement with entrepreneurship. Gender differences were also found in the perception of career development opportunities and institutional support. It is concluded that promoting an environment conducive to work-life balance requires not only inclusive policies and stronger support networks but also a cultural transformation that recognizes and values women’s contribution to entrepreneurship and society.
