| The study has explored the impact of fear of failure on male and female entrepreneurs and its relation to their passion. Responses from male and female entrepreneurs revealed a mean difference of 3.26 for males, showing that males recorded fear of failure at a certain level of education but females, holding a college degree, reported a higher degree of fear than men holding the same degree. Moreover, fear of failure rate was found to be unexpectedly positively associated with emotion for male entrepreneurs, as compared to female entrepreneurs. It has been found that harmonious, obsessive passion and emotion displayed important role in the fear of failure. It appeared that male entrepreneurs’ emotion has a greater influence on them as compared to female entrepreneurs. |
