Gender, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and entrepreneurial career intentions: implications for entrepreneurship education

Wilson, Fiona, Kickul, Jill, Marlino, Deborah·2007·Entrepreneurship Theory and Practice

Abstract

The relationships between gender, entrepreneurial self–efficacy, and entrepreneurial intentions were examined for two sample groups: adolescents and adult master of business administration (MBA) students. Similar gender effects on entrepreneurial self–efficacy are shown for both groups and support earlier research on the relationship between self–efficacy and career intentions. Additionally, the effects of entrepreneurship education in MBA programs on entrepreneurial self–efficacy proved stronger for women than for men. Implications for educators and policy makers were discussed, and areas for future research outlined.

  • Entrepreneurial self-efficacy has a strong influence on the career options considered by youths in middle and high school aged 11-18 years.

    “Entrepreneurial self-efficacy has been found to have a strong influence on the career options considered by youths in middle and high school aged 11-18 years (Wilson et al., 2007).”
  • A gender gap between males and females in entrepreneurship has been found in several past studies.

    “Gender was included as a covariate in all the aforementioned analyses because gender gap between males and females in entrepreneurship has been found in serveral past studies (e.g., Mueller, 2004; Wilson etal., 2007; Walter etal., 2013).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
