University departments and self-employment intentions of business students: a cross-level analysis
Open accessAbstract
This study examines how characteristics of university departments impact students’ self–employment intentions. We argue that four organizational–level factors (entrepreneurship education, entrepreneurship support programs, industry ties, and research orientation) increase such intentions. Using a data set of 1530 business students and 132 professors at 25 university departments, this study shows that entrepreneurship education and industry ties are related to self–employment intentions only for the males in our sample. A negative effect of the department's research orientation was found. Our study suggests that the organizational context plays an important but gender–specific role in shaping future entrepreneurs. Implications of our findings are discussed.

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.
