El presente trabajo plantea como objetivo el análisis de las diferencias de género en la orientación emprendedora. Basándonos en el modelo de la orientación emprendedora para el intrapreneurship se analizan la proactividad, la creatividad e innovación y la propensión al riesgo como variables que capturan el perfil emprendedor del individuo en la etapa pre-empresa. Para realizar el análisis se ha seleccionado una muestra de alumnos de la Universidad Rey Juan Carlos que cursan los seminarios “Emprendedores y Liderazgo” de forma extracurricular. El estudio de las diferencias de género se ha realizado mediante un estudio de diferencias de medias y un estudio de clasificación mediante el procedimiento del análisis discriminante. Los resultados obtenidos no sólo indican que existen diferencias significativas en el comportamiento emprendedor por razón de género sino que además el estudio de la clasificación de grupos confirma la existencia de grupos diferenciados asociados al género. En concreto el género femenino es más adverso al riesgo y se considera menos innovador. Sin embargo en cuanto a la proactividad el género femenino se asocia en mayor medida a atributos relativos a la responsabilidad, disciplina e independencia y el masculino a la iniciativa y a las posiciones de liderazgo.
The following paper aims to analyze gender differences in entrepreneurial orientation. Based on the model of entrepreneurship orientation for the intrapreneurship, we have analyzed the proactivity, creativity, innovation and risk propensity as variables that capture the profile of the individual entrepreneur in the pre-stage company. To perform the analysis we have selected a sample of students from the Universidad Rey Juan Carlos who attended extracurricular seminars on “Entrepreneurship and Leadership”. The study of gender difference has been made by a study of mean differences and a classification study by the method of discriminant analysis. The results not only indicate that there are significant differences in entrepreneurial behavior due to gender differences, but also the study of the group classification confirms the existence of distinct groups associated with gender. Specifically, the feminine gender is more risk averse and is considered less innovative. However, regarding proactivity, the feminine gender is associated more to attributes relating to responsibility, discipline and independence, and the masculine to initiative and leadership positions. Keywords: Gender, entrepreneurial behavior, study of attitudes, entrepreneurship.
