Item type:Publication, The Incas have no end: Women artisans in Peru and the continuity of their entrepreneurial activity(Emerald Publishing, 2024-11-11)Through focusing on the Peruvian context, this paper aims to identify the main determinants of the continuity of entrepreneurial activity among women artisans. Design/methodology/approach: The empirical sample comprises semi-structured interviews with 28 women artisans in Peru during their participation in a fair organized by the Peruvian Ministry of Culture in Lima (Peru). Thematic analysis was subsequently used to determine the main ideas in the transcripts from the interviews conducted. Findings: The findings empirically identified the following job-related (number of work hours, perceived income, future of artisanal jobs), functional (availability and relevance of workstations, the necessity to travel) and socio-cultural determinants (government support, perceived recognition, level of affiliation with Peruvian traditions) as the main drivers of the continuity of entrepreneurial activities among women artisans. Originality/value: This paper contributes by filling a gap in the literature on women entrepreneurship and artisan entrepreneurship in which empirical studies of Latin American women artisans continuing with their entrepreneurial activities have been limited so far. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Context really matters: Why do women artisans in the Peruvian context avoid the sole ownership of their enterprises?(Emerald Publishing, 2024-10-29)The aim of this paper is to find out why women artisans in Peru avoid the sole ownership of their enterprises while preferring to work in associations. Design/methodology/approach: The data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 28 women artisans in Peru during their participation in a fair organized by the Peruvian Ministry of Culture in Lima (Peru). Thematic analysis was subsequently used to develop the main themes and sub-themes of the study. Findings: The authors of the present study have found that women artisans in Peru choose to work in associations instead of via the sole ownership of their enterprises because of the following three categories of motives: contextual (low operational cost of family-owned associations, more compliance with the surrounding institutional context), cultural (commitment to parenting, experiencing less marginalization, zero responsibility, and greater work flexibility) and marketing-related motives (eliciting more social support, guaranteeing more invitations to participate in artisanal fairs). Originality/value: This paper contributes by filling a gap in the literature on artisan entrepreneurship in which studies on women artisans in Latin American contexts and why they choose to work in associations have been limited so far.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Extreme Work Environment and Career Commitment of Nurses: Empirical Evidence from Egypt and Peru(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2023-02-06)Purpose This paper aim to analyse the motives behind the commitment of nurses to their profession despite their intense job duties during the COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach The empirical sample comprises of 35 semi-structured interviews with public sector hospital nurses in under-researched contexts of Egypt and Peru. Findings Three types of motives were found to play a critical role in nurses’ commitment to their profession despite the difficulties associated with extreme work conditions. These factors include cultural (religious values, governmental coercion), contextual (limited education, organisational support) and personal (good nurse identity, submissive nature) dimensions. Originality/value This paper is one of the pioneering works to link existing literature streams on career commitment, extreme jobs, extreme context and management under disruptions (particularly COVID-19) by analysing these aspects in the under-researched Peruvian and Egyptian contexts. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, When age really matters: digital entrepreneurship of seniors in Latin American contexts(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2025-11-20)This paper aims to explore the extent to which senior entrepreneurs in the Peruvian context are ready to exercise their business activities digitally and the reasons behind that. Design/methodology/approach The empirical data is collected through semi-structured interviews with a sample of 36 senior entrepreneurs working in Peru. Thematic analysis was subsequently used to determine the main ideas in the interview transcripts. Findings The authors have identified the following three categories of barriers: age-related barriers (using social media only for correspondence, desire to socialize and work outside home, lack of government support), contextual barriers (difficulty deciding what to sell digitally, difficulty finding digital clients, lack of resources to compete with giant online stores) and technology-related barriers (lack of knowledge about artificial intelligence, lack of patience to learn about new technologies, the belief that digital business must be promoted by influencers). The authors consider these barriers as explaining why senior entrepreneurs are not ready to exercise their business activities digitally. Originality/value This paper contributes by filling a gap in the literature on both digital and senior entrepreneurship about which empirical studies, particularly in the context of Latin America, have been limited so far. Objetivo Los autores del presente artículo buscan explorar hasta qué punto los emprendedores seniors en el contexto peruano están preparados para llevar a cabo sus actividades empresariales de forma digital y las razones que subyacen a esta disposición. Metodología Los datos empíricos fueron recopilados a través de entrevistas semiestructuradas con una muestra de 36 emprendedores seniors que trabajan en Perú. Posteriormente, se utilizó un análisis temático para determinar las ideas principales en las transcripciones de las entrevistas. Resultados Los autores han identificado tres categorías de barreras: barreras relacionadas con la edad (uso de las redes sociales solo para correspondencia, deseo de socializar y trabajar fuera del hogar, falta de apoyo gubernamental), barreras contextuales (dificultad para decidir qué vender digitalmente, dificultad para encontrar clientes digitales, falta de recursos para competir con las grandes tiendas en línea) y barreras relacionadas con la tecnología (falta de conocimiento sobre inteligencia artificial, falta de paciencia para aprender sobre nuevas tecnologías, creencia de que el negocio digital debe ser promovido por influencers). Los autores consideran que estas barreras explican por qué los emprendedores seniors no están preparados para ejercer sus actividades empresariales de manera digital. Originalidad/valor Este artículo contribuye al llenar un vacío en la literatura sobre emprendimiento digital y emprendimiento senior, sobre los cuales los estudios empíricos, particularmente en el contexto de América Latina, han sido limitados hasta el momento. Objetivo Os autores do presente artigo buscam explorar até que ponto os empreendedores seniores no contexto peruano estão preparados para exercer suas atividades empresariais digitalmente e as razões que fundamentam essa disposição. Metodologia Os dados empíricos foram coletados por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas com uma amostra de 36 empreendedores seniores atuando no Peru. Posteriormente, foi utilizado a análise temática para determinar as principais ideias nas transcrições das entrevistas. Resultados Os autores identificaram as seguintes três categorias de barreiras: barreiras relacionadas à idade (uso das redes sociais apenas para correspondência, desejo de socializar e trabalhar fora de casa, falta de apoio governamental), barreiras contextuais (dificuldade em decidir o que vender digitalmente, dificuldade em encontrar clientes digitais, falta de recursos para competir com grandes lojas online) e barreiras relacionadas à tecnologia (falta de conhecimento sobre inteligência artificial, falta de paciência para aprender novas tecnologias, a crença de que os negócios digitais devem ser promovidos por influenciadores). Os autores consideram que essas barreiras explicam por que os empreendedores seniores não estão preparados para exercer suas atividades empresariais digitalmente. Originalidade/valor Este artigo contribui ao preencher uma lacuna na literatura sobre empreendedorismo digital e empreendedorismo sênior, sobre os quais os estudos empíricos, particularmente no contexto da América Latina, têm sido limitados até o momento.3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Does socio-emotional selectivity really matter? Self-employment of seniors in Peru(Emerald Publishing Limited, 2025-11-28)This study aims to identify the main motives for senior individuals in the Peruvian context to actively engage in entrepreneurial activities. The second of this study is to identify the main challenges those senior entrepreneurs face. Design/methodology/approach The empirical data is collected through an ethnographic study followed by semi-structured interviews with a sample of 32 senior entrepreneurs working in Peru. The team members used the Gioia mechanism to analyze their data. Findings The authors identified the following factors as the main motives for seniors to actively engage in entrepreneurial activities in Peru: socio-economic factors (finding a source of income, creating jobs for their children and continuing to financially support their families), personal factors (considerable level of wisdom, leaving a good legacy and having the entrepreneurial requirements) and retirement-related factors (available time, the longevity of Peruvians and guaranteed familial support). Moreover, the authors perceived the uncertainty of the work environment and technological illiteracy as the two main challenges senior entrepreneurs face in Peru. Originality/value This paper comes to be the first, to the best of the authors' knowledge, in addressing self-employment of seniors in the context of Latin America. Hence, it yields further research opportunities for interested scholars.2
