Abstract

The paper study the gender differences in entrepreneurial intention. We use structural equation model to study the impacts of social relationships, proactive personality, entrepreneurial attitude and entrepreneurial capacity on entrepreneurial tendency. We find that impacts of the entrepreneurial tendencies of men exceed that of women in which social relationships play an important role. Theoretical contribution of this paper is to clarify the mechanism of the interaction among these variables, which helps to correctly understand the formation of entrepreneurial tendencies for both sexes. Results show that gender differences exist significantly in entrepreneurial tendency, and male students show stronger entrepreneurial tendency. Then we give some suggestions on promoting women's entrepreneurship education.
