The moderating role of entrepreneurship education on the antecedents of entrepreneurial intention (2016, neutral): “Concerning the influence of gender, the existence of a gap between men and women in entrepreneurship has long been acknowledged (DeBruin et al. 2007; Díaz García and Jiménez Moreno 2010; Gupta et al. 2009), and it is attracting increasing academic attention (Hughes et al.”
A systematic literature review on entrepreneurial intentions: citation, thematic analyses, and research agenda (2015, background): “Gupta and collaborators center on gender stereotypes in entrepreneurship (Gupta et al. 2009), while the explicit activation of these stereotypes modifies the reported intention level of the participants (Gupta et al.”
About Gender Differences and the Social Environment in the Development of Entrepreneurial Intentions (2016, background): “Similarly, it has also been pointed out that cognitive differences in entrepreneurial behaviors are explained by gender stereotypes and socially conditioned perceptions of what it means to be masculine or feminine (Bird and Brush 2002; Byrne and Fayolle 2010; Gupta et al. 2009; Mueller and Dato-On 2”
Status Beliefs and the Spirit of Capitalism: Accounting for Gender Biases in Entrepreneurship and Innovation (2015, background): “Research widely confirms that entrepreneurship is one such male-typed task (Bird and Brush 2002; Buttner and Rosen 1988; Bruni, Gherardi, and Poggio 2004; Gupta et al. 2009).”
Entrepreneurial intentions and start-ups: Are women or men more likely to enact their intentions? (2018, background): “It is, therefore, not surprising that many studies (Baughn et al., 2006; Gupta et al., 2009; Kourilsky and Walstad, 1998; Kristiansen and Indarti, 2004; Langowitz and Minniti, 2007; Maes et al., 2014; Shinnar et al., 2014; Wilson et al., 2004, 2007, 2009; Zhao et al., 2005) found differences in EI b”
Gender Stereotypes and Venture Support Decisions: How Governmental Venture Capitalists Socially Construct Entrepreneurs’ Potential (2017, background): “…potential, for example, was coded into categories of positive or negative attributes based on both inductive patterns revealed by the context in which the discourses took place and on definitions in the entrepreneurship literature (cf. Ahl, 2006; Busenitz & Barney, 1997; Gupta et al., 2009).”
Business as Plan B (2015, background): “It is possible that this persistent gap may be attributable to distinctly cultural processes, such as the prevalent stereotype that entrepreneurship, especially a lucrative, growth-oriented form of entrepreneurship, is a male-typed activity (Bruni, Gherardi, and Poggio, 2004; Gupta et al., 2009).”
Entrepreneurial Perceptions and Intentions: The Role of Gender and Culture (2012, background): “Gender role stereotypes lead to gender typing of jobs as predominantly feminine or masculine (Heilman, 1983). Heilman (1983) stresses that individuals aspire to hold jobs that are socially accepted for their sex, while avoiding those considered appropriate for the opposite sex.”
Gender stereotyping effects on entrepreneurial self‐efficacy and high‐growth entrepreneurial intention (2013, background): “Behavioral intentions have been demonstrated to be a strong predictor of the implementation of behavior (Ajzen, 1991), and prior research has shown that women’s intention to engage in entrepreneurship is lower than men’s (Gupta et al., 2008; Wilson et al., 2004; Zhao et al., 2005).”
The interaction between culture and sex in the formation of entrepreneurial intentions (2013, background): “Email: rotem.shneor@uia.no q 2013 Taylor & Francis Research at the intersection of sex/gender and entrepreneurship shows that people associate masculine characteristics with entrepreneurs and that entrepreneurship is regarded as a masculine field (Ahl 2006; Gupta et al. 2009).”
Entrepreneurial intention: antecedents to entrepreneurial behavior in the U.S.A. and Turkey (2016, background): “Gupta et al. (2009) in their study with business students in the United States, India, and Turkey, found that consistently both young men and women associate entrepreneurs with stereotypically masculine characteristics.”
