A data structure diagram maps interview quotes to codes, interpretative themes, and aggregated dimensions.The data structure diagram is arranged into four vertical columns titled “Example interview quotes”, “1st order codes”, “Interpretative codes”, and “Aggregated Dimensions”, with straight rightward arrows connecting boxes across columns. At the far left, the first rectangular quote box reads “P 2: We as women are more willing to take risks, ellipsis. Still doing something that we love and quitting secure jobs”. This box sends a rightward arrow to the adjacent box listing the first-order codes “Willingness to take significant risk ‘out of comfort zone’”, “Love for the profession”, “Enthusiasm”, and “Creativity in offering something different”. This box sends a rightward arrow to the interpretative code box labeled “Passion for work”, which then sends a rightward arrow to the aggregated dimension box labeled “Individual Drivers”. Below, the next quote box on the left reads “P 8: In a state of uncertainty, one needs to be decisive and make decisions. We see this through the pandemics. The entire world is in a state of uncertainty”. This box sends a rightward arrow to a first-order codes box listing “Persistence”, “Fight”, and “Learning from defeat”, which sends a rightward arrow to the interpretative code “Perseverance”, and then a rightward arrow to the aggregated dimension “Individual Drivers”. Below this, the next left quote box reads “P 4: Persistence, stubbornness. Belief in myself. I had neither the capacity nor the opportunity, but that gave me the wind in my back, that I want, that I will know how and that I can do it”. This box sends a rightward arrow to a first-order codes box listing “Agility”, “Adaptability”, “Flexibility”, “Integrity”, and “Endurance”, which sends a rightward arrow to the interpretative code “Organisational resilience capabilities”, and then a rightward arrow to the aggregated dimension “Organisational Drivers”. The next quote box to the left reads “P 8: Organisational resilience and transparency are very important for us. You inform your employees about possible scenarios in a timely manner.

Further down, the next left quote box reads “P 7: I had some people who went to school with me at the time, whom I met at school and with whom I worked in a local factory. I created a team of 4–5 workers, later 10–15”. This box sends a rightward arrow to a first order codes box listing “A well-coordinated team”, “Good interpersonal relationships”, “Mutual respect and trust”, “Flexibility”, and “Clear structures”, which sends a rightward arrow to the interpretative code “Adaptive leadership”, and then a rightward arrow to the aggregated dimension “Transformational Leadership”. Below this, the next left quote box reads “P 3: I must admit that my husband and I embarked on this adventure together, that I was not the only one for this, because it would honestly be a much bigger challenge for me. This way, we are supporting each other, so it was much easier”. This box sends a rightward arrow to a first order codes box listing “Family support”, “Family networks”, and “Social support”, which sends a rightward arrow to the interpretative code “Social support”, and then a rightward arrow to the aggregated dimension “Social Drivers”. At the bottom left, the final quote box reads “P 9: A very important factor for women with a business is the support in her immediate environment ellipsis. Family, colleagues, networks or similar”.
