A new study by an interdisciplinary team of researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst reveals that women in academic entrepreneurship are more likely to be driven by social impact than commercial motives, highlighting a key factor influencing gender disparities in STEM-related business ventures.
The findings, published in Research Policy, suggest that women researchers are significantly more interested in entrepreneurship when it involves addressing societal challenges. In contrast, men displayed equal levels of interest in social and commercial entrepreneurial pursuits.
