“…Similarly, there is evidence that women pursue different organizational and economic missions, and that there are significant variations in motivations (necessity versus opportunity) and intentions to start a business world-wide (Jennings and Brush, 2013;Ladge et al, 2019). In the TPB literature, a relatively small number of studies measure intentions by gender (Aloulou, 2015;Haus et al, 2013) or include gender as a variable in the analysis.…”

“…Of those that do, most studies using the full model of TPB find that gender is of marginal, indirect or of no significance (Haus et al, 2013;Krueger et al, 2000). On the other hand, studies examining direct or indirect effects of gender on intentions find that it has a direct effect on self-efficacy which mediates the relationship to intentions (Cardon and Kirk, 2015;Ladge et al, 2019) or that the relationship of social environment to intentions is more significant for women than men (Aloulou, 2015). Similarly, a study of desirability and intention found males have higher intentions to create firms (Zhang et al, 2014).…”

“…Bandura (1986) further notes that self-efficacy and PBC are different concepts, while the SE has more direct impact on behavior, and it is concerned with the cognitive perceptions of control based on internal control factors, the PBC reflects on more general and external factors. Self-efficacy, while not an original construct of the TBP, is a well-established Entrepreneurial intentions and gender antecedent of entrepreneurial intentions and often seen as a precursor to PBC (Cardon and Kirk, 2015;Krueger et al, 2000;Ladge et al, 2019). Moreover, Boyd and Vozikis (1994, p. 64) and Piperopoulos and Dimov (2015) found that individual self-efficacy plays an important role in the development of entrepreneurial intentions and actions, in other words, it influences the complex process of new business creation.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to revisit the conceptualization and measurement of entrepreneurial intentions. Significant studies anchored in the Theory of Planned Behavior use causal statistical approaches to entrepreneurial intentions. This methodological approach, leads to the conclusion that there is a single pathway for all groups of people to achieve business start-up. Even though theory suggests approaches by women entrepreneurs to start a business may be influenced by different factors from those influencing men, results are inconclusive in these analyses. The authors argue that methodological preferences for linear, causal analytical approaches limit the understanding of gender similarities and differences in the business start-up process. The authors propose that when considering diverse samples, it is unreasonable to assume there is only a single pathway leading to business start-up. Design/methodology/approach Building on fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) and data set of 2,038 respondents, the authors investigate factors predicting the intentions to start a business and evaluate the alternative conjunctive paths that emerge. Findings The fsQCA results shows that the relationship among conditions leading to entrepreneurial intentions is complex and is best represented as multiple and conjectural causation configurations. In other words, there are multiple significant pathways (refers to equifinality) that predict intentions to start a business start-up, and there are significant differences by gender. Originality/value This study is one of the first to examine the roll of gender as a sperate condition in the analysis. This paper offers implications for theory and future research and highlights the complexity of this domain.

“…Even though in the old days, women were known as having the role of a housewife, which focused on their husband, children, and household work (Yusuff, Bakar & Ahmad, 2016), in this era, women have advanced themselves, some of them choose the entrepreneurs way, and currently with the proliferation of social media platform, instantly they become. Entrepreneurship has been recognized as the new strategy for women to be part of the ever-growing entrepreneurship population (Ladge, Eddleston & Sugiyama, 2019). Ladge et al (2019) also mentioned that womenpreneurs could build a good rapport with potential customers and investors as they are more trustworthy.…”

Within this study, we want to examine factors those determine to the rise of womenpreneurship, since it is one of the most important 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development to eradicate national poverty as well as to support the innovation and ever-growing economy. The increasing of women's participation in entrepreneurs demonstrated positive impact of female entrepreneurs, not only on the family but also on economic growth and development. We build our theoretical framework based on literature surveys; that factors of an inspiring role model, education on digital skills, and financial support, which taken from Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB), contribute to this increasing of womenpreneurship participation. As far as we have known, we are among the first who establish the study focused on women entrepreneurs, especially among the B40 economic social class. We employ a quantitative approach of Multiple Regression Linear Analysis with a convenience sample, comprising 100 women entrepreneurs in Melaka. We find that women entrepreneurs with clear targets, would not only possess the right attitude in their entrepreneurial path, but also become the society role models at the same time. Also, when facing the social pressure, womenpreneurs will equip themselves with proper education to grasp more opportunities. Even though limited by the participation rate, especially those in the rural areas, we would like to make recommendations on ways to encourage more women to pursue entrepreneurship, especially during the Covid-19 outbreak.

Hybrid entrepreneurship research is to probe into the increasingly widespread phenomenon of “employment + entrepreneurship” in real life, and to break the traditional practice of dichotomizing self‐employment and employment. Hybrid entrepreneurship provides entrepreneurs with another employment alternative by combining entrepreneurship and employment. By analyzing data collected mainly from prospective entrepreneurs in mainland China, this paper aims to explore the main influencing factors of hybrid entrepreneurial intentions, in particular how gender moderates the relationship between entrepreneurial motives and hybrid entrepreneurial intentions. Empirical findings reveal that gender differences are evident in prospective entrepreneurs who are motivated to be self‐employed by necessity‐driven factors and those who aim to test the waters of entrepreneurship via the hybrid path.
