| description | Purpose: The aim of the article is to identify the socio-cultural determinants of entrepreneurial activities
of Ukrainian refugee women in Poland. The manuscript points out the complexity of the phenomenon
of entrepreneurship as an important element of economic adaptation of women experiencing migration
and presents the results of empirical research.
Design/methodology/approach: the research conducted was exploratory in nature, carried out using
qualitative methods. Two focus group interviews were conducted with 16 female respondents.
Findings: The analysis of the collected research material reveals the multidimensionality of the socio-
-cultural aspects of the entrepreneurial activities of Ukrainian refugee women in Poland, particularly
highlighting such factors as the value system, entrepreneurial traditions, risk propensity, social relations
and entrepreneurial competences.
Research limitations/implications: despite significant findings regarding the importance of socio-cultural
determinants of the development of entrepreneurial activities of Ukrainian refugee women in Poland, the
presentation of the perspective of one group, as well as the cultural context, may be a limitation of the
research conducted.
Originality/value: The data obtained were classified into groups of factors stimulating and blocking the
entrepreneurship of Ukrainian refugee women. In addition, the results of the research made it possible
to present a fairly wide spectrum of pro-entrepreneurial initiatives that can provide recommendations
for aid organisations, institutions working for the adaptation of persons in a migratory situation, as well
as employers who employ these persons. |
