摘要:The study investigated gender-role orientation and self-efficacy as correlates of entrepreneurial intentions. A total of 350 participated in the study, comprising of two hundred and six male and one hundred and forty-four female students of Enugu State University of Science and Technology, Enugu, Nigeria. Participants responded to gender-role inventory, self efficacy scale and eentrepreneurial intention questionnaire. It was hypothesised that gender-role orientation and self efficacy will not be significantly related to entrepreneurial intention. Oneway analysis of variance and Pearson correlation statistics were used to analysis the data. The results showed that significant difference existed among the gender-role orientation dimensions F(350)=19.42, P<.01, and self efficacy relates significantly with entrepreneurial intentions, r(350)=0.34,P<.01.The implications of the study were discussed and suggestions provided for further studies.
