The Relationship

AbstractThe gender difference in the propensity to initiate negotiation has been theorized to be mediated by three constructs: recognition of opportunities, entitlement, and apprehension. This study seeks to investigate whether differences in feminine and masculine traits can be used to explain gender differences in the three predictors of the propensity to initiate negotiations. Data was collected from 350 surveys distributed in Lebanon. Items were used to measure the constructs masculinity and femininity, as well as the three predictors of the propensity to initiate negotiation, namely Recognition of opportunities, Entitlement, and Apprehension. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used to assess the validity of the measures, while structural equation modeling was used to investigate the relationship between the personality traits and the three constructs. Results indicate that masculinity enhances entitlement, which in turn leads to higher levels of negotiation while femininity enhances apprehension, which in turn leads to lower levels of negotiation. Both masculine and feminine traits were found to be positively related to the recognition of opportunities.

Information commitments are a profile of evaluative standards and information searching strategies on the Internet. The purpose of this study is to examine the reliability and validity of the information commitments instrument in consumption domain, and differences among scales underlying the instrument. A total of 258 university students participated in the survey who have experiences in online shopping. Using confirmatory factor analysis technical, this study has identified valid measures for each construct underlying information commitments in consumptions domain. The results indicate that participants preferred to utilize “content” to judge the usefulness of the information, and use “multiple sources” to evaluate the correctness of information, that they oriented to use search strategy “elaboration” in verifying online consumption information. Gender differences are also revealed on standard of the “multiple sources” and the “content”.

Risk taking considered as one important dimension of entreprenurial orientation. This research aims to study gender differences on risk taking among entrepreneur. The overall objective of this research is to highlight the link between gender difference in risk taking when managing small business.  Independent Sample T-Test and Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used to explore the phenomenon about whether there is differences in perception among male and female entrepreneur. Descriptive statistic reveals that female entrepreneur scored higher than the male entrepreneur on four of six indicator of risk taking. Eventhough there is no statistical differences in risk taking between male and female entrepreneur is small and the percentage of variance explained is low, there are significant differences in how male and female entrepreneur reflect their risk taking perception found in this study. Overall, these recommendations should help researchers to design and use more relevant risk-taking measures.Conclusions drawn from this study might be useful to better understand the use of risk taking model in entrepreneurial context.
