Abstract:
Women's entrepreneurship is a pivotal catalyst for economic development, especially in emerging economies, and holds particular significance within the tourism industry. It is essential to have a deep understanding of the various elements that impact the environments in which female entrepreneurs operate, such as gender relations, the availability of resources, and opportunities for building connections. This research aims to evaluate the entrepreneurial inclinations of women engaged in the tourism sector by examining the roles of social capital, risk-taking propensity, and future anxiety. Employing quantitative research methods, a survey was conducted among 401 female tourism employees selected through convenience sampling. The findings reveal that entrepreneurial intentions vary according to education level, industry-specific training, and sector experience. Additionally, results demonstrate that bonding social capital exerts a positive influence on entrepreneurial intentions, while future anxiety does not moderate the relationship between social capital and entrepreneurial intention. However, risk-taking propensity acts as a mediator between bonding social capital and entrepreneurial intentions. The aspirations of women entrepreneurs may foster greater risk-taking behaviors, which can potentially mitigate certain apprehensions.
