Gender Differences and Attitudes in Entrepreneurial Intentions: the Role of Career Choice

Abstract

Gender differences in entrepreneurial intentions and agentic traits frequently \nlinked to entrepreneurship (locus of control, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, risk-taking \npropensity, and proactiveness) were examined using a sample of Spanish university \nstudents, 535 women and 283 men. Self-reported data were collected through a \nquestionnaire consisting of several scales. MANOVA results showed gender \ndifferences in entrepreneurial intention and entrepreneurial self-efficacy, in the sense \nthat men felt themselves more efficient and oriented to create a new venture than \nwomen. Nevertheless, major area and age explained differences in the variables \nstudied better than gender.
