When women entrepreneurs experience family-to-work conflict, it may discourage them from adopting an entrepreneurial orientation, an effect mediated by work-related emotional exhaustion and moderated by both family-to-work enrichment and family support at home. According to survey data collected among women entrepreneurs in Ghana, negative interferences of family with work can steer women entrepreneurs away from adopting an entrepreneurial orientation for their company, largely because they feel emotionally overextended by their work. However, enrichment of their work, attained through family involvement, can buffer this detrimental effect. The buffering role of family-to-work enrichment in turn is particularly effective when women entrepreneurs receive help on household tasks from other family members. This study accordingly identifies a key mechanism by which family-induced work strain can hamper bold strategic actions by women entrepreneurs—because they feel emotionally drained at work—and details when this mechanism is less prominent, namely, in the presence of relevant family resources.

顺风顺水：女企业家如何度过家庭与工作的冲突，以确保其公司的创业导向

当女性企业家经历家庭与工作的冲突时，可能会阻止她们采用创业导向，这种影响由与工作相关的情绪耗竭介导，并由家庭与工作的丰富和家庭支持所调节。根据在加纳女企业家中收集的调查数据，家庭对工作的负面干扰可以引导女企业家远离对她们的公司采取创业导向，主要是因为她们感​​到工作过度情绪化。然而，通过家庭参与来丰富他们的工作，可以缓冲这种不利影响。反过来，当女性企业家从其他家庭成员那里获得家务帮助时，家庭到工作丰富的缓冲作用尤其有效。
