“…As mentioned by Orhan and Scott [10], researchers have suggested a wide range of motivations for female entrepreneurs and there is no clear consensus on which factor exerts the greatest influence. The inconsistencies of the studies could be due to the population differences across countries [11], economic and political condition [12,13], business environments [13,14], social-cultural [13,15], and technological issues [13,16]. For example, Ozaralli and Rivenburgh [13] stated that the intention of an entrepreneur should also be influenced by the existing and anticipated economic and political infrastructure of the home country.…”

Perceptions to Start up Business as a Career Choice among Saudi Female Higher Education Students

2018

This study explored factors inspiring female university students in Saudi Arabia to choose entrepreneurship as their career choice. This explorative empirical study sought to explore this phenomenon in the context of a culture of socialization strongly attached to religion and steeped in tradition. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire survey administered to female university students. Descriptive statistics and logistic regression analysis were used to identify influencing factors. The results mostly support previous study findings on perceptions about the drivers of females' aspirations in venture creation. Entrepreneurship and business-related courses and media roles are recognized as the most influential factors explaining reasons for the choice of occupation and career. However, this study found only mixed support for these variables. Interestingly, this study found that social learning theory was negatively and significantly related to the decision of female university students to start up a business as a career choice, opposite to previous findings. The findings will assist relevant authorities in facilitating an increase in female entrepreneurship to contribute to the national Vision 2030.

“…In the last decades, there is a noticeable increase in engagement of females in entrepreneurship, but still not enough as men are involved. Women who export still remain a minority group among entrepreneurs (Nissan, Carrasco, & Castano, 2012). It can be said that the difference in exports between men and women arose from the nature of the personality and their personal characteristics.…”

Research area of this study includes determinants that have an influence on international ventures of early-stage entrepreneurs, nascent and new business owners. The research implies determinants such as: entrepreneurial motivation, innovation activity, use of new technology and demographic factors-gender and age. Data for the research was provided by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor database; the sample covers data of early-stage entrepreneurs who settled their business in Southeast Europe. The methodology of empirical research provides a presentation of statistical research by using Probit regression and concept of marginal effects. According to the aim of this paper, the model was created by setting the determinants that influenced the internationalization activity. The research results show that increase-wealth opportunity motivated early-stage entrepreneurs, internationalize more than the necessity entrepreneurs or early-stage entrepreneurs driven by the motive of independence. Early-stage entrepreneurs, who use new technology and prefer radical innovations, are more oriented on foreign markets and customers. Also, there is a significant influence of demographic factors such as entrepreneurial gender and age on internationalization activity. Analysis of entrepreneur's internationalization at the country level shows the differences between the countries of Southeast Europe.

“…A growing body of studies in the first line of research shows that the performance of majority female-owned businesses lags that of majority male-owned businesses because they are concentrated in retail sales and services (Kalleberg and Leicht, 1991;Fairlie and Robb, 2009). These sectors are characterized by small initial investments (Nissan et al, 2012) and lower growth compared with the manufacturing, construction and mining sectors. Coleman and Robb (2012), based upon the Kauffman Firm Survey, reveal that majority female-owned start-ups are behind majority male-owned start-ups in sales.…”

“…They also spend fewer hours working in their businesses and have less prior work experience (Fairlie and Robb, 2009). Moreover, they are considered to be more averse to risk (Nissan et al, 2012;Coleman and Robb, 2009) and they face financial constraints with regard to bank loans, credit and interest rates charged (Cavalluzzo et al, 2002;Muravyev et al, 2009).…”
