“…Women try to avoid risk even in potentially non-threatening situations (Baker, 2001). At the same time, research shows that women running micro-small enterprises show a higher degree of optimism and internal locus of control than male managers (Vieira, Valcanover, Potrich, and Cavalheiro, 2020).…”

Purpose:The aim of the article is to determine the differences in the attitude towards the risk of running one's own business between women and men. The authors tried to find an answer to the question of how the observations and experiences of the pandemic affect the attitudes of young women towards entrepreneurship. Design/Methodology/Approach: The theoretical part uses a critical analysis of the literature on the subject. In the empirical part, the method of online surveys was applied using a tool in the form of a Google form created by the authors of the article, conducted among 170 students at a non-public university with an economic profile in Poznań. Findings: The results of empirical research proved that a relatively large group of respondents, as many as 48.8%, was interested in running their own business. Among women, such plans were taken by 44.9% of respondents, and among men by 55.6%. Women slightly more often answered that they did not plan to run their own business or did not know what their plans were in this matter. The chi-square NW test, however, did not show any significant correlation between the respondents' gender and planning to set up one's own enterprise (p> 0.05). Moreover, although men assessed the risk of running their own business slightly lower, the Mann-Whitney U test did not show a significant difference in the level of opinions on the perception of the risk of running a business between women and men (p> 0.05). It is important that as many as 60.9% of respondents said that the pandemic did not affect their plans to start their own business. The Mann-Whitney U test showed no significant difference in the level of opinion on the impact of the pandemic on the change in the perception of running one's own business between women and men (p> 0.05). Practical Implications: The results of the research show that it is worth strengthening the proactive, entrepreneurial attitudes of young women to overcome the negative effects of the pandemic thanks to the development of the SME sector. Originality/Value: Contemporary socio-economic changes necessitate the search for new solutions that will contribute to building a stronger and entrepreneurial society.

“…To mention but a couple of instances, venture capitalists might use facet-level instruments to evaluate the entrepreneurs that are seeking funding more precisely, see e.g. Vieira et al (2020). Investors could thereby identify potential issues and better mitigate their risk.…”

Purpose. The literature has long recognized the importance of the conscientious entrepreneurial personality. This study explores how seven of its facets/sub-dimensions (Achievement-Striving, Efficiency, Responsibility, Industriousness, Self-Control, Conventionality, and Persistence) relate to three performance outcomes (Ventures Started, Years at Current Venture, and Annual Sales.)Design/methodology/approach. 166 active entrepreneurs were surveyed via an entrepreneurship center at a Western US university. Data was then modeled via Ordinary Least Squares to obtain regression estimates for the dependent variables.Findings. Counter to expectations, results indicate that facet measures relate very differently in terms of magnitude, direction, and significance to the performance outcomes. These more nuanced relations are lost when using broad/aggregate dimensional measures.Research implications. Broad personality measures, as conventionally used, are suboptimal for entrepreneurial research as they potentially yield misleading results. Studies should instead apply the more-specific facet measures, which offer more accurate personality assessments. Practical implications. Practitioners should also use the more-specific facet measures. Doing so will be of value across a variety of public, private, and educational settings.Originality/Value. For decades, entrepreneurship has addressed the effects of broad/aggregate personality dimensions. This article is the first to approach the entrepreneurial personality from a more-specific facet level, an approach offering substantial research opportunities.

Given that there is a lack of understanding of the effect of behavioral elements on capital structure decisions and in the context of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises in developing countries, this study seeks to understand if it exists, and what role does the bias towards the present in capital structure decisions in that context. With a self-administered survey, information was collected to estimate the relationship of the capital structure with the bias towards the present through discount rates at different terms, and subsequently estimate the effect with a multiple linear regression model. The existence of a bias towards the present was found and, the higher its level, the greater the proportion of debt the company has to finance its assets. Additionally, the preference for long-term debt is also positively related to total debt. The evidence invites decision makers to question whether these choices are motivated by the needs of the company or by impatience; and governments to provide access to the financial system for these companies that are usually informal. In conclusion, it is suggested to evaluate the bias in large companies and in developed countries for their respective comparison.
