Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis , 2021
The development of entrepreneurship competencies is not the primary objective of the management education system. Given the lack of student competencies required to start a new enterprise, the importance of entrepreneurship and economic education is increasing. There are new intentions from the Czech Republic's state politics that early business can be positively influenced and supported. The paper discusses entrepreneurship and its educational role. The research relies on a 214 questionnaire survey administered in 2018-2019 on students of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice. The paper focuses on the assessment of gender differences of management students in entrepreneurship education. We reduced 19 variables to three decisive factors-attitudes, knowledge, and entrepreneurship competence using factor analysis. Differences were found in the personal attitudes to entrepreneurship within gender, while the difference was not confirmed in the required entrepreneurial competencies and preferred knowledge. The study deals with a vital gender topic, and its results can be beneficial for the fields of management and education, especially for their overlap.

The presented empirical study was conducted to find out the gender influences on the entrepreneurial attitude of university students. The primary data were collected through the self-made standardise questionnaires by administered on 475 undergraduate students of Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra, Haryana, India. The findings of the study indicate that the entrepreneurial tendencies of university students had found significantly different in relation to their gender as the male students are found to be having high entrepreneurial attitude as compared to their other counterparts. While analyse the entrepreneurial tendencies in relation to the gender of university students than four major entrepreneurial tendencies (i.e., creative self-efficacy, need of autonomy, risk-taking abilities locus of control) are found significantly different from the female students. The findings of the study indicated that there existed a significant gender influence on entrepreneurial attitude of the university students. It is a fact that the development of any psychological aspects within an individual depends on the active human organism and the environment. Therefore, considering the human organism, females are soft and conservative in nature and in their behaviour. Moreover, there are many social and religious barriers for females, which may be the reasons that they consider themselves dependent on males. In many tasks, females, assumed themselves weak compared the males. Females have been indecisive in taking risks, have lack of self-confidence, and self-believe. Due to the social context in which they live, females have to sacrifice or suppress many of their urges, in order to facilitate other family members. On the other hand, male are considered more independent and empowered than the females, which helped them to develop more effectively specific entrepreneurial tendencies. It is patriarchy that has set apart domestic chores for women bearing and rearing children, doing household tasks, attending to work on the fields and even earning for the family-all inclusive and subservient role with no saying in decision-making exclusive preserve of men. Therefore, it is recommended that when the policy-makers make any policy on the basis of gender than gender difference would be taken into consideration, so that better policies must be designed & new advanced guidance programmes & provide sufficient facilities (like awareness camps, training, loans, tools/equipments) to the female university students.
