In this paper we demonstrate how studies linking entrepreneurial self-efficacy (ESE) with success might provide inaccurate results if scholars don’t examine the role of gender and success-type. To facilitate advancement of scholarship in this area of inquiry, we (a) meta-analyze samples of varying proportions of men and women from the United States (k = 32, N=4,732); (b) present key results, namely that the relationship between ESE and financial measures of success is weaker among samples with greater proportions of women – but not for non-financial measures; and (c) reveal four methodological recommendations and relevant procedures that scholars and practitioners should consider to more accurately understand the relation between socio-cognitive factors, such as self-efficacy, and entrepreneurial success. Put succinctly, our four methodological recommendations are to better capture and report the gender and sex of participants, take into account success type, establish – rather than assume – measurement equivalence, and consider, if appropriate, gender-tailored interventions.
