“…Hence, self-efficacy is related to behaviours in situations with a high level of -risk and uncertainty, and with behavioural flexibility in the face of adversity. This perceived self-efficacy strongly influences the perceptions of circumstantial risk (Yates and Stone 1992;Bandura and Wood 1989;Wu et al 2009;Pechlaner and Bachinger 2010;Meliá et al 2010;Romero-Martínez et al 2010), and stands out as the most important and reliable element in predicting the choice of a profession (Bandura 1986). It thus becomes a core element in the intention to start a business, insofar as it can predict threats and business opportunities.…”

According to the last report "Women FTSE 2009" developed by Cranfield School of Management and the IE Business School and sponsored by Pricewaterhouse-Coopers, Sainsbury, Enlivens, HSBC and Pearson, the number of European companies with women in positions of executive direction has been reduced from 16 to 15 and the number of women in the board meetings from 39 to 37 has fallen. Moreover, there has been a decrease in the number of total of businesses with women in their counsels, since 1 of each 4 businesses has an exclusively male counsel. The study, reveals a pessimistic panorama for women from the analysis of the number of guidelines that work in the companies that belong to FTSE 100, the British index that includes the 100 main values of the London stock market. The study also reflects a descent in the number of women that occupy key positions in the businesses of the FTSE 100. In the year 2008 there were only 5 women CEOs and 3 regional executive directors. In the 2009 only there were 4 CEOs. The purpose of this article is to see if the origin of this situation is a direct consequence of businesswomen confronting more difficulties than the businessmen upon putting in common its professional and personal life or if by contrast this corresponds to an stereotyped perception of gender inequality. With this end we Int Entrep Manag J (2011) 7:391-412 conducted a study using a sample of businesswomen and men with experience analyzing its motivations to create business, difficulties that they find, and the solutions to improve the conciliation of its professional and personal lives. The results show that there are no significant gender differences in the motivations, regardless of who the head of the family is (bearing main responsibility for the house and children). On the other hand, we show that businesswomen diverge from businessmen in the perception of motivations and challenges they have. Indeed, businessmen agree with businesswomen in the motivations and difficulties that these have, and consider that they give to them more importance than women themselves. Context and theoretical frameworkDuring the last decades, while regional development and innovation have gained relevance (Mas-Verdu et al. 2010) and SMEs have focused towards internationalisation (Meliá et al. 2010), the incorporation of women to the workplace has represented the most critical socio-demographic phenomenon of the second half of the 20th century (Kanter 1994). Various factors have had an impact on the family. First, a greater number of women have achieved advanced levels of education, with more opportunities to access executive positions. In addition, professional women have also tended to marry professional men, therefore altering the composition of families, now with two sources of income, instead of the dominant traditional family model, in which the bread winner was the father of the family. Second, the proportion of single-parent family has grown, and it is not considered an exceptional group anymore. Nevertheless, many businesses do n...
