Abstract: | There is general agreement in previous research, drawing on the Theory of Planned Behaviour, that attitudes towards entrepreneurship
are determining factors on entrepreneurial intention and gender also seems to play a key role. This study supports the core
entrepreneurial intention model and focuses on the role of gender in this process, showing that men are more likely to think
about creating a firm than being determined to do it. However, of those men, the ones who perceive higher congruence between
masculine and entrepreneurial attributes are more likely to have a firm entrepreneurial intention. Also, both men and women
with a firm entrepreneurial intention perceive successful entrepreneurs to have feminine attributes. This, together with the
characteristics of the sample, may explain the lack of a gender difference in entrepreneurial intention. |
