Abstract
The present climate, economic, technological, and geopolitical turbulences place a question mark over entrepreneurial resilience in the face of upcoming instabilities. Are new and mature entrepreneurs ready for more internal and external challenges? In this context, can we pose the existential question: to be or not to be? The main aim of this paper is to study entrepreneurial resilience from a gender perspective among graduates from a business incubator programme. This research employs perception-based longitudinal data obtained from graduate entrepreneurs from a business incubator programme in Madrid. We found that male graduate entrepreneurs have higher levels of resilience based on individual variables, such as self-efficacy and decision-making, but female graduate entrepreneurs are less affected by situational or exogenous variables, such as economic crises, labour legislation, competitive environment, and technological changes. These findings suggest that managers and instructors of business incubators should improve training programmes by considering gender specificities. These programmes could use the latest smart technologies to simulate, adapt and personalise training according to needs from a gender perspective. Thus, gender-focused training programmes could boost other inclusive policies for integrating and creating more diverse entrepreneurial intention and resilience programmes.
期刊介绍：
The International Entrepreneurship and Management Journal (IEMJ) publishes high quality manuscripts dealing with entrepreneurship, broadly defined, and the management of entrepreneurial organizations. The journal will expand the study of entrepreneurship and management by publishing innovative articles based on different perspectives using a variety of methodological approaches and showing the practical implications of the research for its readership. IEMJ is unique; providing a multi-disciplinary forum for researchers, scholars, consultants, entrepreneurs, businessmen, managers and practitioners in the field of entrepreneurship. The journal covers the relationship between management and entrepreneurship including both conceptual and empirical papers, leading to an improvement in the understanding of international entrepreneurial perspectives of the organisations concerned. Entrepreneurial studies are important in creating new economic activity that in turn increases innovation, employment, economic wealth and growth. The journal focuses on the diverse and complex characteristics of entrepreneurship in SMEs and large companies in local, regional, national or international markets that lead to competitiveness in the face of the effects of globalization. Though preference will be given to manuscripts that are international in scope, papers focused on domestic contexts and issues are welcome also, in order to facilitate the sharing of knowledge and potential generalizability of findings worldwide. IEMJ will publish original papers which contribute to the advancement of the field of entrepreneurship and the interface between management and entrepreneurship, as well as articles on business corporate strategy and government economic policy. On occasions, the journal will also feature case studies of successful firms or other cases having important practical implications. The journal places great emphasis on the quality of the papers it publishes. Submission of a paper will imply that it contains original unpublished work and is not being submitted for publication elsewhere. Officially cited as: Int Entrep Manag J
