Who Earns More (Less) from Entrepreneurial Pursuit?
Abstract. Persons with disabilities (PWD) are among the largest and most diverse minority groups and among the most disadvantaged in terms of employment. Entrepreneurial pursuit is often advocated as a path toward employment, inclusion, and equality, yet few studies have investigated earning variation among PWD.
Methodology. We draw on social cognitive career theory (SCCT) and disability employment and entrepreneurship literatures to develop hypotheses about who among PWD are likely to earn more (less) from entrepreneurial pursuits. We then conduct analyses on the nationally representative sample of Canadian Survey on Disability including all PWD engaged in entrepreneurial pursuit and match each to an organizationally employed counterpart of the same gender and race, and of similar age and disability severity (n ≈ 810).
Findings. Entrepreneurial pursuit has a stronger negative association with earnings of PWD who experience earlier disability onset ages, who report more unmet accommodation needs, and who are female.
Originality. First, this study applies SCCT to help bridge literatures on organizational employment barriers for PWD and entrepreneurs with disabilities. Second, we call into question the logic of neoliberalism about entrepreneurship by showing that barriers to organizational employment impact entrepreneurial pursuit decisions and thereby earnings. Third, we extend understanding of entrepreneurial earnings among PWD by examining understudied disability and demographic attributes. Lastly, this study is among the first to use a matched sample to empirically test the impact of entrepreneurial pursuit on the earnings of PWD.

Persons with childhood-onset disabilities are among the most marginalized populations, often unemployed or underemployment in jobs providing neither adequate hours for financial self-sufficiency nor fulfillment through skill-utilization. The purpose of this paper is to examine the extent to which social capital in the form of strong ties with family and friends is associated with enhanced employment outcomes for persons with childhood-onset disabilities.
Design/methodology/approach
Questioning the current theoretical consensus that strong social ties are unimportant to employment quality, the authors draw on disability research and opportunity, motivation and ability social capital theory to propose a model of the impact of strong ties with family and friends on paid-work-hours and skill-utilization as well as the potential moderating role of gender and disability severity. The authors then test this model using data from 1,380 people with childhood-onset disabilities and OLS regression analysis.
Findings
As theorized, family-of-origin-size is positively associated with hours worked. Family-of-origin-size is also associated with having more close friends and children. These strong ties, in turn, are positively associated with hours worked. The impact of having more children on hours worked and skill-utilization, however, is positive for men but non-significant for women.
Originality/value
This study breaks new ground by focusing on the association between strong ties with family and friends and employment quality for people with childhood-onset disabilities – a marginalized and understudied group. Findings further indicate the particular vulnerability of women with disabilities.10aManagement1 aBaldridge, David1 aKonrad, Alison1 aMoore, Mark1 aYang, Yang uhttps://www.emeraldinsight.com/doi/full/10.1108/EDI-11-2016-009300581nas a2200169 4500008004100000245008300041210006900124260000900193300001000202490000700212653001700219100001600236700001800252700002000270700001500290856010600305 2015 eng d00aA Theory of the Nexus Supplier: A Critical Supplier from a Network Perspective0 aTheory of the Nexus Supplier A Critical Supplier from a Network c2015 a52-660 v5110aSupply Chain1 aKim, Yusoon1 aYan, Tingting1 aChoi, Thomas, Y1 aYang, Yang u/biblio/theory-nexus-supplier-critical-supplier-network-perspective-0
