Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determining the share of achievement motivation, selfefficacy and self-esteem in predicting Isfahanian female’s entrepreneurial behavior: The sample consisted of Isfahanian female citizen in who went to 5 selected public libraries at Isfahan City in summer of 2011. Subjects’ entrepreneurial behavior, self- esteem, self- efficacy, and achievement motivation were measured by entrepreneurial behavior scale, Rosenberg's self esteem scale, general self-efficacy scale, and Hermans achievement motivation questionnaire respectively. For assessing demographic characteristics, a researcher-made questionnaire was used. Descriptive statistics and stepwise regression was used for data analysis. Results of stepwise regression showed that achievement motivation can significantly predict the rate of entrepreneurial behavior in females (P=0.00), and adding self- efficacy can increase significantly the predicting power of their entrepreneurial behavior (P=0.00); but adding self- esteem variable to achievement motivation and self- efficacy variables can not increase significantly the predicting power of entrepreneurial behavior in these subjects. Achievement motivation and self-efficacy have an important role in explaining entrepreneurial behavior in Isfahanian females.
