Abstract: | A typology of the female entrepreneur was developed on the basis of psychological characteristics of 60 Australian founder businesswomen. Reviews of past research on the psychological profiles of entrepreneurs have shown that studies of women entrepreneurs are non-existent. In the present study, projective and self-report measures were used to assess multiple dimensions of personality within the theoretical framework of McClelland. Analyses revealed three psychological types of female entrepreneurs: the need achiever, the pragmatic and the managerial entrepreneur. |
