Résumé
Recent debates on work/family links within the French legal context shed new light on the discourses of twenty-four entrepreneurs and executives from growth-oriented SMEs on their representation of their careers and 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.
