Empreendedorismo feminino e carreira proteana: uma revisão narrativa de literatura

Abstract

Globalization has brought technological changes and economic and social advances, one of which was the insertion of women in the labor market, so the present work aims to identify the main challenges of the entrepreneurial career in Brazil. The method used was the narrative review of literature, as it is a method that discusses and describes the state of the art. In this way, the works found responded to the objectives of the work that identified the main challenges and motivations of the female entrepreneur, described the profile of the Brazilian entrepreneur, defined the competencies for an entrepreneur to succeed in her career and found that the entrepreneurial career has aspects in common with the protean career. Therefore, despite all the barriers that women encounter when undertaking in Brazil, their motivations are stronger than the challenges, the characteristics of this career, as well as the protean one, are freedom, flexibility and the opportunity to have a career drawn by it, and not by an organization.
