“…While numerous studies on founder gender yield equivocal results (e.g., Birley, 1989;Chaganti, 1986;Fischer et al, 1993;Gatewood et al, 1995;Kalleberg and Leicht, 1991;Sexton and Bowman-Upton, 1990), the fact remains that at the population level, there are many differences in the businesses run by men and women, such as common forms of incorporation, sales receipts, type of fi nancing used, and industries in which businesses are formed (Center for Women's Business Research, 2004; US Census Bureau, 2005). Accordingly, it was important to control for possible effects of founder gender on quality evaluations of the founder.…”

We examine how judgments in the context of uncertainty vary, depending on the values of those making these judgments. We test these ideas in the context of venture capitalists' (VCs') evaluations of founders. Drawing on theoretical and empirical research on the role of values in judgment and decision making and on Schwartz's (1992Schwartz's ( , 1996 conceptualization of the basic motivational dimensions underlying human values, we hypothesize and fi nd that decision makers' process values (i.e., values governing the types of means to an end that an individual values) infl uence the perceived worth of founders' human capital. We discuss implications of these fi ndings for judgment and decision-making research, as well as practical implications for entrepreneurs and venture capitalists.

This study explored the effects of motivational factors on women entrepreneurship venturing in Malaysia. The research was conducted on 80 entrepreneurs through random sampling technique. All hypotheses were tested using regression analysis and Pearson correlations, controlling for demographic variables of gender, age, and education, years of experience, and start-up funding.

“…The venture creation process covers the period between the nascence of business intentions until the moment of first sales [Gatewood, Shaver, Gartner, 1995 Sergeyeva, 2014]. The more steps taken, the closer a nascent entrepreneur is to launching a venture [Alsos, Kolvereid, 1998;Carter, Gartner, Reynolds, 1996], as the more time and effort is put into achieving a result, the better the chances this result will finally be achieved [Gatewood, Shaver, Gartner, 1995.…”

Address: 1/3 Volkhovsky per., 199004 St. Petersburg, Russian Federation.Abstract. The study aims to assess how different types of entrepreneurial capital provided by universities affect student involvement in entrepreneurship. The role of university is analyzed from the embeddedness perspective, where purposeful behavior is largely affected by network relationship and the trust that exists in such relationship. We used data of the Global University Entrepreneurial Spirit Students' Survey (GUESSS) as empirical basis for research. A hierarchical regression data analysis revealed that university initiatives to develop human and social capital influenced positively the extent to which students were engaged in entrepreneurship, while financial capital provided by universities had negative effects. We also investigated the moderating effects of previous business experience and entrepreneurial self-efficacy. It was found that previous experience was able to weaken the relationship between all the three types of resources provided by university with the scope of student start-up activities, including the negative effect of access to financial capital. Meanwhile, entrepreneurial self-efficacy intensifies this negative effect and diminishes the positive effects of university support for human and social capital development.
