Revue de l'Entrepreneuriat, 2015, vol. 14, issue 2, 83-108

Abstract: Recent debates on the work/family links within the French legal context shed a new light on the discourses of 24 entrepreneurs and executives in growth-oriented SMEs about their representation of career and of motherhood. The entrepreneurs discourse presents the company as a real opportunity to balance work and family ; while the executives? discourse is embedded in a professional ethos whereby motherhood is often perceived as a career barrier. Our main contribution consists in taking contextual elements into account when modeling the connections between work and family.
