Extant literature of women entrepreneurial intention (EI) has not studied the interplay of push and pull factors well, creating a lacuna in literature. In this paper, we explored how barriers within their professional careers, i.e. push factors led to women EI, and how interpersonal motivators and contextual pull factors moderated that relationship. Adopting the push-pull framework and analyzing survey-based responses from 302 working women using structural-equation-modeling, we find that the need for recognition (NFR) and the glass ceiling (GC) effect have positive relationships, whereas family support (FS) has a negative relationship with EIs. Moreover, the NFR and FS moderate GC-EI relationship. Our study contributes towards the women entrepreneurship literature by focusing on the interplay of push and pull factors. The paper also provides important managerial and policy implications for organizations and policy makers.

我应该开始自己的创业吗？拉动因素对推动因素与女性创业意向关系的调节作用

现有的女性创业意向（EI）文献没有很好地研究推拉因素的相互作用，造成了文献空白。在本文中，我们探讨了她们职业生涯中的障碍，即推动因素如何导致女性 EI，以及人际激励因素和背景拉动因素如何调节这种关系。采用推拉式框架并使用结构方程模型分析来自 302 名职业女性的基于调查的反应，我们发现需要认可 (NFR) 和玻璃天花板 (GC) 效应具有正相关关系，而家庭支持 (FS ) 与 EI 呈负相关。此外，NFR 和 FS 调节 GC-EI 关系。我们的研究通过关注推动和拉动因素的相互作用，为女性创业文献做出了贡献。
