Abstract

Although it is well accepted across our country, that the significance and impact of women entrepreneurship are critical for overall sustainable development, the actual level of venture creation by females is much lower than that by males. The purpose of our research is to investigate the role of various factors affecting women entrepreneurship in India. By integrating the intellectual capital and cognitive framework to analyses the venture creation phenomenon, we aim to understand in greater clarity, the underlying factors behind women entrepreneurship. A comprehensive data of 1,765 Indian females from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor was utilised. Logistic regression was applied to analyse the influence of entrepreneurial cognition and intellectual capital on the entrepreneurial intentions of Indian women. Among all the proxy measures of intellectual capital, only owning and managing a firm has a significant positive effect. The perception of opportunities and the perception of social legitimacy, both are significantly related to entrepreneurial intentions.

印度女企业家的智力和认知方面

尽管女性创业对整体可持续发展的重要性和影响在全国范围内都是公认的，但女性创业的实际水平远低于男性。我们研究的目的是调查影响印度女性创业的各种因素的作用。通过整合智力资本和认知框架来分析创业现象，我们旨在更清晰地了解女性创业背后的潜在因素。该研究利用了来自全球创业观察的1765名印度女性的综合数据。运用Logistic回归分析创业认知和智力资本对印度女性创业意向的影响。在所有智力资本的代理指标中，只有拥有和管理公司具有显著的正向影响。机会感知和社会合法性感知都与创业意图显著相关。
