?:abstract
  • This study empirically investigates whether personality traits that can be matched to the tasks of entrepreneurs predispose men and women to entrepreneurship and whether gender differences in these personality traits contribute to the gender gap in entrepreneurship. Using data obtained from a recent large scale survey of individuals in 36 countries, we find that men’s and women’s preference for being self-employed (latent entrepreneurship) and the decision to take steps to start new businesses (nascent entrepreneurship) are positively related to competitiveness, risk tolerance, and six other task matched personality traits. Moreover, our results point to a strong joint effect, since particularly individuals scoring very high on almost all analyzed personality traits are more likely to be latent and nascent entrepreneurs. The results of a decomposition analysis suggest that gender differences in task matched personality traits contribute significantly to the gender gap in latent and nascent entrepreneurship. Particularly gender differences in competitiveness tend to be relevant. (xsd:string)
