Abstract

Research on female innovation-driven entrepreneurialism demonstrates that the number of start-ups by women worldwide still lags that of their male counterparts. This is in part due to women’s lower level of entrepreneurial self-efficacy which impacts negatively their entrepreneurial intention. This study uses the concept of multiple identities seen from a psychodynamic perspective, to explore theoretically how female entrepreneurs’ identity affects their entrepreneurial self-efficacy. First, I look into female entrepreneurs’ identity as part of their multiple identities situated within their self-concept. Second, I use Bourdieu’s androgenic cosmology to look into gender identity’s impact on women’s entrepreneurial identity and its potential impact on women entrepreneurs’ self-efficacy and their intention to start a business. Finally, I offer the adoption of “metaxu” as an ontological concept on how women entrepreneurs can reconcile their multiple identities and bring their best at work.
