“…Moreover, our results do not confirm Diaz-Garcia and Jimenez-Moreno (2010) or Eddleston and Powell (2008) assuming a different approach to entrepreneurial issues between men and women. The results of Lukeš et al (2014) survey provide us with an interesting view when comparing a new entrepreneurial activity by the following combined criteria: age group, gender and necessity of doing business.…”

“…An increased number of people working in the unprotected informal economy with an unequal access to resources, including loans to start businesses, new technologies or information, have caused the situation when women are entering the labour market under unfavourable conditions. There are differences between entrepreneurs-men and entrepreneurs-women (DiazGarcia & Jimenez-Moreno, 2010; Eddleston & Powell, 2008), e.g. in understanding of what success is.…”

ABSTRACT. The aim of this article is to explore the question of autonomy as an element of entrepreneurial orientation (EO) in the segment of small and mediumsized enterprises (SMEs) in the Czech Republic. In relation to the independence of the researched companies, we have investigated whether the evaluation of an independent position of the companies differs according to three criteria: gender, age of the entrepreneur, and time of the company spent in the market. The researched entrepreneurs were divided into men and women, entrepreneurs "younger" (under the age of 45) and "older" (45+), and into "beginners and advanced" (1-10 years in business) and "experienced" (more than 10 years in business). The results showed that 46 % of the respondents perceive their companies as independent, 65% of them have reasonably autonomous staff in their companies, and 71% support the initiative of their employees in business opportunities. In relation to the criteria examined, we have found out that gender does not play the differencing role in autonomy between men and women. However, entrepreneur´s age and firm´s age do so. 68% of "experienced" companies are statistically more aware of the fact that staff in their company is reasonably autonomous in comparison with the "novice and advanced" companies. Furthermore, "younger" entrepreneurs support the initiative of their employees more (64%) than "older" entrepreneurs.

“…O grupo de artigos cujo foco temático foi a representação social e identidade, ora analisou as representações sociais do sujeito feminino construídas pela mídia de negócios nacional e internacional (DIAS et al, 2006), ora investigou se a diferença entre empresários e empresárias estava associada a questões biológicas ou de Empreendedorismo Feminino como Sujeito de Pesquisa identidade de gênero (EDDLESTON, POWELL, 2008). Nadim (2007) referiu-se à existência de estereótipos de gênero no meio empresarial que, inclusive, chegava a gerar certo desconforto em empreendedoras, uma vez que a sociedade esperava delas um comportamento de mãe e não de empresária de fato, ainda mais se encontrando à frente de empreendimentos do tipo care.…”

“…Nadim (2007) referiu-se à existência de estereótipos de gênero no meio empresarial que, inclusive, chegava a gerar certo desconforto em empreendedoras, uma vez que a sociedade esperava delas um comportamento de mãe e não de empresária de fato, ainda mais se encontrando à frente de empreendimentos do tipo care. A aceitação desses estereótipos se dava por meio da socialização que tinha origem não só na infância, mas também nas experiências vividas na família, na escola, entre amigos (EDDLESTON, POWELL, 2008;NADIM, 2007;CRAMER et al, 2012). Ferreira e Nogueira (2013) analisaram os elementos que permitem conhecer a subjetividade de mulheres empreendedoras e reconheceram que a subjetividade se dá por meio de uma configuração de sentidos subjetivos advindos tanto do plano individual como também dos construídos socialmente.…”

“…In developed countries, women own 25 per cent of total businesses and it is quicker for women to start a business than for men to do so (Woldie and Adersua, 2004). The creation of opportunities in achieving gender equality improves economic growth (Eddleston and Powell, 2008), and female entrepreneurs add diversity to their business environments in developed countries as compared to the males. Examples of this diversity can be seen in China, Asia and Africa, where women are very active in business activities (Verheul et al, 2006).…”

Saudi Arabia has a unique culture and society, which has influence on the way entrepreneurship is perceived and experienced. The survey of Saudi Arabian employees suggested that men tended to have a greater interest in entrepreneurship and more often wanted to quit their job in order to start a business. Male employees also had greater levels of self-efficacy towards starting a business. The study provides new empirical and comparative evidence drawn from diverse parts of Saudi society. In so doing, the study contributes new knowledge with regards to how Saudi Arabian society, culture, policies and the economy influence attitudes, perceptions and experiences of entrepreneurship.
