- Abstract
- Gender differences in attitudes of Russian entrepreneurs to competition and partnership in business cooperation have been examined. Social psychology of entrepreneurship - new cross-disciplinary approach integrating social and economic psychology - is the basis for the research. It has been revealed that men-entrepreneurs consider competition as a contest with other entrepreneurs for personal achievements while women-entrepreneurs - for economic resource. Men-entrepreneurs consider business partnership as economically oriented while women-entrepreneurs - personally oriented and based on interpersonal contacts. Motives of obtaining the recognition of society and authority over entrepreneurs are much more typical for women-entrepreneurs, while men-entrepreneurs manifest in competition motives of independence and possibility for new projects' realization. Men-entrepreneurs in partnership unlike women-entrepreneurs estimate personal qualities of their business-partners more differentially subject to the gender of the person.
