Numerous studies increasingly acknowledge women’s entrepreneurship as a critical and promising category of entrepreneurship, particularly in developing countries. It significantly contributes to economic development, job creation, poverty reduction, and fostering positive social change. Despite the growing number of female entrepreneurs and the substantial increase in initiatives and facilities to promote women’s entrepreneurship, the proportion of women pursuing entrepreneurial careers remains markedly lower than that of men. This disparity raises important questions and highlights a persistent gender gap. This empirical investigation, grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB), aims to understand entrepreneurial Intention (EI) among women and examine the relationship between gender and EI within the Omani context. The study utilizes data from the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor (GEM) Adult Population Survey, focusing on 2000 respondents from the Omani adult population, in 2021. The data is analyzed using Sata software. Descriptive analysis and logistic regression were employed to test the research hypotheses. The findings reveal a significant relationship between gender and EI, with Omani men showing a higher inclination toward entrepreneurial activities than women. Likewise, age positively influences EI, indicating that younger Omanis exhibit a higher intention to pursue entrepreneurship than their older counterparts. These insights underscore the necessity for targeted strategies to enhance women’s entrepreneurial participation in Oman.
