Abstract

The present research explores the factors stimulating entrepreneurial potential among women based in India and how it eventually results in an intention to start their own business. The study is using the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and the entrepreneurial event model to identify the antecedents of entrepreneurial potential among women entrepreneurs in India. The study also attempts to understand whether entrepreneurial potential results in an intention to take up a business venture. A survey questionnaire is used to gather the data, and it is conducted both online and offline. The study used 214 responses in total. The data is analyzed using validated procedures and techniques, such as exploratory factor analysis (EFA), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and then path analysis in AMOS (20). The study found that entrepreneurial potential was significantly affected by perceived desirability, followed by perceived feasibility and it also found that perceived risk negatively affects entrepreneurial potential. The second finding shows that the developed potential does turn into an intention to start an entrepreneurial venture, backed by perceived desirability and perceived feasibility. The results can be used to design training programs and help incubators create a methodical strategy to ensure the promotion of women entrepreneurs.

打破束缚:揭示女性创业意向——一项基于印度北部的研究

本研究探讨了激发印度妇女创业潜力的因素，以及这些因素最终如何导致她们创业的意愿。本研究利用计划行为理论(TPB)和创业事件模型来确定印度女性企业家创业潜力的前因。该研究还试图了解创业潜力是否会导致从事商业冒险的意图。调查问卷用于收集数据，并在线上和离线进行。这项研究总共使用了214个回答。使用经过验证的程序和技术对数据进行分析，例如探索性因素分析(EFA)，验证性因素分析(CFA)，然后是AMOS中的路径分析(20)。研究发现，感知可取性对创业潜力有显著影响，其次是感知可行性，感知风险对创业潜力有负向影响。第二个发现表明，在感知到的可取性和感知到的可行性的支持下，已开发的潜力确实转化为创业的意愿。研究结果可用于设计培训方案，并帮助孵化器制定有条理的战略，以确保促进女企业家的发展。

期刊介绍： Business Perspectives and Research (BPR) aims to publish conceptual, empirical and applied research. The empirical research published in BPR focuses on testing, extending and building management theory. The goal is to expand and enhance the understanding of business and management through empirical investigation and theoretical analysis. BPR is also a platform for insightful and theoretically strong conceptual and review papers which would contribute to the body of knowledge. BPR seeks to advance the understanding of for-profit and not-for-profit organizations through empirical and conceptual work. It also publishes critical review of newly released books under Book Review section. The aim is to popularize and encourage discussion on ideas expressed in newly released books connected to management and allied disciplines. BPR also periodically publishes management cases grounded in theory, and communications in the form of research notes or comments from researchers and practitioners on published papers for critiquing and/or extending thinking on the area under consideration. The overarching aim of Business Perspectives and Research is to encourage original/innovative thinking through a scientific approach.
