“…Prior work demonstrates that women face a number of contextual barriers related to this masculinity paradox, including limited access to resources and funding (e.g. Carter et al , 2003; Lindvert et al , 2017; Morris et al , 2006; Ross and Shin, 2019), and that traditional gender roles negatively influence women's cognitions relating to their entrepreneurial efficacy (e.g. Hechavarria et al , 2019; Tonoyan et al , 2020).…”

“…Though historically underrepresented among the ranks of entrepreneurs (Baron et al , 2001; Haus et al , 2013; Markussen and Røed, 2017; Rouse et al , 2013), the Women's Entrepreneurship Report from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor shows that female entrepreneurship is on an upward trend globally, with the total entrepreneurial activity among women increasing 10% and the gender gap narrowing by 5% since 2014 (Kelley et al , 2017). Despite this encouraging news, however, women are still an underrepresented population among entrepreneurs (Guzman and Kacperczyk, 2019; Neill et al , 2017; Rocha and van Praag, 2020), continue to face more barriers to entrepreneurial activity than their male counterparts when accessing resources (Carter et al , 2003; Morris et al , 2006; Lindvert et al , 2017; Ross and Shin, 2019) and face significantly greater challenges when pursuing high-growth ventures (Hechavarria et al , 2019). Not surprisingly, explanations for why these differences manifest frequently focus on contextual factors.…”

PurposeIndividuals adopt differing perceptions of entrepreneurial types, including small businesses, scalable businesses and social businesses. This study aims to suggest that individuals' entrepreneurial personal theory (EPT: learning from experiences that informs how an individual conceptualizes entrepreneurship) influences entrepreneurial intent, and that sensemaking facilitates this process such that those with a clearer understanding of different entrepreneurship paths are more likely to pursue opportunities.Design/methodology/approachThis study theorizes and empirically tests whether EPT affects an individual's intent to start a small business, a scalable business or a social enterprise and how gender moderates the relationship between EPT and entrepreneurial intent. Primary survey data were collected from undergraduate business students and working adults.FindingsThe results indicate that EPTs characterized by small business, scalable business and social entrepreneurship have a positive association with entrepreneurial intentions. However, gender interaction effects showed that for women, an EPT characterized as small business has a weaker relationship with entrepreneurial intent, whereas an EPT characterized as social entrepreneurship has a stronger relationship with entrepreneurial intent. The notions that gender directly affects personal conceptions of entrepreneurship and that women may have not been exposed to all facets of entrepreneurship are addressed.Research limitations/implicationsOther variables not included in this study could also influence the relationship between how the type of entrepreneurship may shape entrepreneurial intent and how such relationship may be influenced by gender. Implications for entrepreneurship education and curriculum development are presented.Originality/valueIntegrating the EPT and sensemaking to uncover gender differences in the development of entrepreneurial intentions is a novel theoretical discussion.

“…Da mesma forma, uma prática representa um padrão que pode ser preenchido por multiplicidade de ações únicas e muitas vezes únicas (re) produzindo a prática. Ou seja, o único praticante individual, age então como o "portador" de uma prática e, de fato, de muitas práticas diferentes que não precisam ser coordenadas umas com as outras (Whittington, 2006;Ross & Shin, 2020).…”

A abordagem entrepreneuring mostra-se em crescimento nos estudos em empreendedorismo. Este trabalho buscou compreender a evolução das discussões sobre a abordagem entrepreneuring no campo de estudo do empreendedorismo, retratando as subcategorias com as constituições. O trabalho evidencia por meio de uma revisão sistemática da literatura a evolução das percepções e seus reflexos no campo de estudo. A metodologia utilizada foi a revisão sistemática de literatura. Este trabalho contribui para a reflexão sobre a abordagem entrepreneuring e suas contribuições para o campo de estudo teórico e prático do empreendedorismo. O entrepreneuring, apresenta-se como um fenômeno complexo, não-linear e com aspectos econômicos, sociais, institucionais e culturais por meio das ações de um indivíduo ou grupo de indivíduos. A limitação deste trabalho e a string de busca que se combinada com outras bases, pode gerar novos resultados. Sugere-se que os resultados forneçam uma base para futuros estudos empíricos, como uma maneira de expandir o conhecimento das subcategorias e da forma como estão sendo praticadas nos contextos organizacionais.

“…Management scholars have spent decades researching gender differences in business start-up and growth. The results of this body of research are mixed, and the mechanisms are complicated (Ross and Shin 2019;Zolin et al 2013;Hughes et al 2012). Early studies reported that women business owners tend to be less successful than male business owners (Kalleberg and Leicht 1991;Rosa, Carter and Hamilton 1996;Birley 1989).…”

Until recently, women have not been seen as having the potential for entrepreneurial success. Yet women's engagement in the energy sector could substantially improve energy access for those most underserved. This article examines the role of women as energy entrepreneurs from the perspective of gender inequality within the energy industry. Data from Nuru Energy, a social business focused on providing solar lighting to the ultra-poor, provide insights on how the inclusion of women sales agents can increase sales and how strategic modifications to the social business model can further support female-led businesses. Observational data from over 1,000 rural enterprises show that women, on average, sold significantly more units than men. Women operating in solo firms and leading groupbased teams consistently outsold men-led solo and group-based enterprises. Findings further suggest that, when operating in groups, women tend to outperform men even more than when operating sole proprietorships.
