Abstract

This study analyzes the effects of national cultural practices on gender gaps in entrepreneurial entry in developing countries. We conducted a multilevel analysis based on Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) and Global Leadership and Organizational Behavior Effectiveness (GLOBE) data from 22 countries for 2013-2017. Our findings suggest that while women are less likely than men to create a new business, they are much less likely to enter opportunity-based entrepreneurship. Moreover, we find that cultural practices of gender egalitarianism have a positive moderating effect on gender gaps when it comes to entry into both total and opportunity-based entrepreneurship. By contrast, our results show that cultural practices of assertiveness and power distance increase gender gaps in entry into both total and opportunity-based entrepreneurship. Policy makers should implement policies that promote women’s access to the necessary resources and improve the visibility of successful female entrepreneurs to change the perception of entrepreneurship as a masculine activity.

发展中国家创业进入的民族文化和性别差距
本研究分析了国家文化习俗对发展中国家创业中性别差距的影响。我们根据2013-2017年全球创业监测(GEM)和22个国家的全球领导力和组织行为有效性(GLOBE)数据进行了多层次分析。我们的研究结果表明,虽然女性创建新企业的可能性比男性低,但她们进入基于机会的创业的可能性要小得多。此外,我们发现,当涉及到全面创业和基于机会的创业时,性别平等主义的文化实践对性别差距具有积极的调节作用。相比之下,我们的研究结果表明,自信和权力距离的文化实践增加了在全面创业和基于机会的创业中的性别差距。决策者应执行促进妇女获得必要资源的政策,提高成功女企业家的知名度,以改变人们对创业是男性活动的看法。
