Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between socioeconomic factors and entrepreneurial orientation (EO) across genders. The study also highlights the impact of cognitive and motivational factors on the EO in Saudi Arabia. Design/methodology/approach This is a quantitative analysis based on the Adult Population Survey of 2016 conducted by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor among a sample of 4,053 in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Findings The results showed significant differences in most EO dimensions between genders. It was found that EO is positively related to gender, with more women intending to start a venture than men in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Self-efficacy, motivation and social welfare motivational factors for EO are positively associated with the gender of the respondents. Practical implications This paper illustrates the urgency to establish programs that support self-efficacy, motivation and social welfare to promote entrepreneurship among women in the Kingdom. Originality/value The study highlights the impact of cognitive and motivational factors on EO among females in Saudi Arabia.

沙特阿拉伯的跨性别创业取向:来自全球创业监测(GEM)成人人口调查(APS)的证据

本研究旨在探讨社会经济因素与创业倾向的关系。该研究还强调了沙特阿拉伯的认知和动机因素对EO的影响。这是一项基于2016年成人人口调查的定量分析，该调查由全球创业观察组织在沙特阿拉伯王国进行，样本为4053人。结果两性在大多数EO维度上存在显著差异。研究发现，EO与性别呈正相关，在沙特阿拉伯王国，打算创业的女性比男性多。自我效能感、动机和社会福利动机因素与被调查者的性别呈正相关。本文说明了建立支持自我效能、动机和社会福利的项目以促进王国女性创业的紧迫性。该研究强调了认知和动机因素对沙特阿拉伯女性EO的影响。
