Today, many of developed and developing countries, focus on the importance of women entrepreneurship and the enterprises founded by them (GEM, 2010). In this study, we implemented two modified questionnaire: first; Shapero's entrepreneurial intention questionnaire (Shapero, 1982) and Entrepreneurial self-efficacy questionnaire (DeNoble, et al., 1999). In order to analyze gathered data, we used SPSS11 Software, regression and Coefficient. Result shows that entrepreneurial self-efficacy has positive effect on entrepreneurial intention.
